2.4 Charging the C-Leg Prosthesis System

INFORMATION
Advise your patients of the information in this section.
CAUTION
Incorrect behaviour while charging the joint. If the patient walks while the battery charger is connected to
the prosthesis, he can get caught on the cable and fall.
Take off the prosthesis prior to charging.
CAUTION
Incorrect handling while charging the joint. If the joint is not flexed completely during charging, the charging
plug can get damaged and the joint can no longer be charged. This can lead to insufficient power supply to the
electronics of the joint and result in undefined conditions. This can cause the patient to fall.
During charging, keep the C-Leg fully flexed.
