The Otto Bock Genium X4 3B5-4-P may have locked up after swimming due to mechanical or thermal overloading, which can trigger unplanned maintenance. If the maintenance date has been exceeded, the product must be inspected by an authorized Ottobock Service Center. Additionally, if water exposure affected components that are not waterproof or corrosion-resistant, it could cause issues. Use the Cockpit app to check the maintenance status and contact an authorized service center if necessary.

Only put the product into use in accordance with the information contained in the accompanying documents sup plied. According to the manufacturer (Otto Bock Healthcare Products GmbH), the patient is the operator of the product according to the IEC 60601-1:2005/A2:2020 standard.
Product description Charging adapter 1. Cable for connecting to the charging receptacle of the prosthetic knee joint 2. LED bar to indicate the charge level while charging (see page 33) 3. Light sensor for adjusting the LED brightness to the ambient light 4.
Intended use LP2-W2 Freestyle Swim Body weight Approved foot size [cm] Maximum stiffness Up to 100 kg (220 lbs) Up to 31 101 kg to 150 kg (222 lbs to 330 lbs) Not approved 2.3.2 Combination with an osseointegrated implant system This product can be connected to a socket or to an osseointegrated, percutaneous implant system. In case of connection to an implant system, verify that the manufacturer of the implant system and the manufactur...
Safety 3.4 Contraindications 3.4.1 Absolute Contraindications • Body weight over 150 kg 3.4.2 Relative Contraindications • Body weight less than 35 kg 3.5 Qualification The product may be fitted only by qualified personnel authorised by Ottobock after completing the corresponding training. If the product is to be connected to an osseointegrated implant system, the qualified personnel must also be autho rised for the connection to the osseointegrated implant system.
Charging the battery 6.1 Connecting the power supply and charging adapter 1) Slide the country-specific plug adapter onto the power supply unit until it locks into place (see fig. 1). 2) Use the provided USB cable to connect the USB-A bushing on the power supply unit to the USB-C bushing on the charging adapter (see fig. 2).
Preparing the product for use Charging time of the prosthesis battery Charge level after 4 hours charging time Fully charged INFORMATION Note charging progress ► When a rechargeable battery has been deeply discharged, charging times may become longer. For this reas on, check the charge level on the charging adapter display while charging.
Preparing the product for use 5) Determine the required length of the tube adapter based on the difference between the overall size and the knee pivot point to ground measurement. 6) Shorten the tube adapter by the determined value with the 719R5 tube cutter. 7) Store the tube adapter cable in the tube adapter.
Preparing the product for use INFORMATION Changed position of the pyramid/threaded connector (0°) If the fitting was modified from a previous knee joint generation such as the 3B1-2, 3B1-3, 3B5-2, 3B5-3; 3C98-*, 3C88-* to this knee joint (3B5-4=P/3B5-4=ST) without fabricating a new socket, the changed position of the pyr amid/threaded connector has to be taken into account since the pyramid/threaded connector is no longer angled (0°).
Preparing the product for use INFORMATION Padding material to check the distance Instead of using a measuring tool, a large piece of padding material (e.g. 617S3 Pedilin from Ottobock) with a thickness of 3 mm or 5 mm can be used as a distance gauge between the socket and knee joint during the test. Verification at maximum extension If the distance between the socket and prosthetic knee joint is not sufficient, the joint may be damaged.
Consideration of the alignment recommendations for bench alignment of the prosthesis is a prerequisite. Minim ising the compensation via the residual limb and/or the contralateral side is the goal of optimal alignment. The patient’s required energy expenditure can be reduced by optimising the arrangement of the prosthetic compo nents.
"Start-to-walk" function With this function, the knee joint can be flexed more easily when starting to take a step without initiating a swing phase. This also makes walking in confined spaces easier since initial flexion is possible not only from the step position via stance release/swing phase initi ation but also from the standing position.
8.5 Sitting/standing up If the patient is in a sitting position for more than two seconds, i.e. the thigh is close to hori zontal and there is no load on the leg, the knee joint switches the resistance to a minimum in the extension direction.
Switching the product on/off 8.8 Walking down a ramp Under increased flexion resistance, permit controlled flexion of the knee joint which lowers the body’s centre of gravity. 8.9 Walking up a ramp Activating the “Optimised slope ascent” function makes it easier to walk up ramps. 8.10 Cycling When the "Intuitive cycling"...
Bluetooth INFORMATION Actual deactivation only some time after playing the melody When there is a Bluetooth connection to a mobile device (LED on the back of the joint shows continuous blue light ), deactivation occurs only some time after the deactivation melody plays. Switching on 1) Connect the USB power source to the charging adapter.
MyModes 11.2 Switching MyModes using motion patterns Information on switching • Before the first step, always check whether the selected mode corresponds to the required motion type.

Additional operating states (modes) ≥3x Basic mode ð ð ð ð ð þ 1) Position the prosthetic leg slightly to the rear (step position). 2) While maintaining constant contact with the floor, and with the leg extended, bounce on the forefoot three or more times.
Storage The following functions are deactivated in overheating mode: • Switching to a MyMode • Changes to the prosthesis setting 12.4.1 Reaching the critical temperature of the hydraulics If activity continues despite switching to overheating mode, safety mode is activated once the critical temperature of the hydraulics is reached and the knee joint is then turned off.
Maintenance 14.2 Cleaning the charging adapter 1) Clean the product with a damp cloth and mild soap (e.g. 453H10=1-N Ottobock Derma Clean) when needed. Make sure that no liquid penetrates into the product. 2) Dry the product with a lint-free cloth and allow it to air dry fully. 3) If necessary, disinfect the surface by wiping with a surface disinfectant (e.g.
