Otto Bock Michelangelo Hand Transcarpal 8E550 Instructions For Use Manual page 7

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.
CAUTION
Distance to HF communication devices is too small (e.g. mobile phones, Bluetooth
devices, WiFi devices)
Injury due to unexpected behaviour of the prosthesis system caused by interference with internal
data communication.
Therefore, keeping the following minimum distances to these HF communication devices is
►
recommended:
• Mobile phone GSM 850/GSM 900: 0.50 m
• Mobile phone GSM 1800/GSM 1900/UMTS: 0.35 m
• DECT cordless phones incl. base station: 0.18 m
• WiFi (routers, access points,...): 0.11 m
• Bluetooth devices (third-party products not approved by Ottobock): 0.11 m
4.5 Information on Alignment/Adjustment
CAUTION
Operator errors during the adjustment process with the adjustment software
Injury due to unexpected product behaviour.
Participation in an Ottobock product training course is mandatory prior to using the product.
►
During this product training course you will receive a password giving you access to the
adjustment software. Additional product training courses may become necessary to qualify
for software updates.
Do not share your unlock PIN.
►
Use the online help which is integrated into the software.
►
CAUTION
Incorrect electrode settings
Injury due to unexpected product behaviour.
The electrodes are to be placed on intact skin only and with as much electrode-skin contact
►
as possible. In the case of strong interference from electronic devices, the position of the
electrodes should be checked and changed if necessary. If the interference cannot be elim­
inated or if you do not achieve the expected results by adjustment or selection of the appro­
priate control programme, please contact the Ottobock branch responsible for your country.
Set the electrode gain as low as possible in order to reduce interference from powerful elec­
►
tromagnetic radiation (e.g. visible or 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 electromagnetic interference (e.g. high-voltage lines, transmitters, trans­
former stations, computer tomographs, magnetic resonance tomographs, etc.).
