4.4 Information on Proximity to Certain Areas
CAUTION
Proximity to sources of strong magnetic or electrical interference (e.g. theft prevention
systems, metal detectors)
Injury due to unexpected behaviour of the prosthesis system caused by interference with internal
data communication.
Avoid remaining in the vicinity of visible or concealed theft prevention systems at the
►
entrance/exit of stores, metal detectors/body scanners for persons (e.g. in airports) or other
sources of strong magnetic and electrical interference (e.g. high-voltage lines, transmitters,
transformer stations, computer tomographs, magnetic resonance tomographs, etc.).
When walking through theft prevention systems, body scanners or metal detectors, watch
►
for unexpected behaviour of the prosthetic system.
