Ottobock | 15
For maximum safety and convenience, Ottobock recommend that, at the
very least, a specialist evaluate the need for any adaptations to the car
(such as by installing a steering fork, automatic shift). Risk-free driving
should be ensured even when the prosthesis is not functioning.
CAUTION
Use caution when handling the cable control hooks.
If used incorrectly,
the hooks can cause injuries to the user or others.
CAUTION
Risk of injury as a result of excessive strain.
The Ottobock prosthetic
components described here have been developed for activities of daily
living and must not be used for unusual activities such as extreme sports
(free climbing, paragliding, etc.).
Careful handling of the prosthesis and its components not only increases
their service life but, above all, ensures the patient's safety!
Should prosthetic components be subjected to unusual stresses (such as
a fall), immediately contact your prosthetist and have the components in-
spected for any damage. If necessary, the responsible prosthetist will pass
the prosthesis on to the Ottobock Service.
NOTICE
Risk of corrosion.
Prosthetic components must not be exposed to cor-
rosive elements such as fresh water, salt water and acids.
Using this medical device in such environmental conditions will render
all claims against Otto Bock HealthCare null and void.
NOTICE
Damage due to incorrect environmental conditions.
Prosthetic compo-
nents must not be subjected to intense smoke, dust, vibrations, shocks or
high temperatures. Do not allow debris or liquids to get into the prosthetic
components. Failure to follow these instructions can lead to malfunctioning
and damage to the prosthesis.
