2.3 Safety Instructions
Please forward the following safety instructions to your patients:
CAUTION
Risk of injury as a result of excessive strain.
The Ottobock prosthetic
components described in this manual have been developed for everyday
life activities 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
inspected for any damage. If necessary, the responsible prosthetist will
pass the prosthesis on to the Ottobock Service.
NOTICE
Risk of corrosion.
Please avoid exposing prosthetic components to
surroundings that corrode metal parts, for example, freshwater, salt-
water, and acids.
Using this medical product in such environmental conditions will render
all claims against Otto Bock HealthCare null and void.
