CAUTION
Using the prosthesis with pointed or sharp objects (e.g. knives in the kitchen)
Injury due to unintentional movements.
► Use extra caution when using the prosthesis for handling pointed or sharp objects.
CAUTION
Overloading due to unusual activities

►
The Axon-Bus prosthetic system was developed for everyday use and must not be used for
unusual activities. These unusual activities include, for example, sports with excessive strain
and/or shocks to the wrist joint (pushups, downhill mountain biking, ...) or extreme sports
(free climbing, paragliding, etc.).
►
Careful handling of the Axon-Bus prosthetic system and the Axon-Bus components not only
increases their service life, but is primarily in the interest of your own safety.
►
If the Axon-Bus prosthetic system and the Axon-Bus components have been subjected to
extreme loads (e.g. through a fall or similar occurrence) the prosthesis system must be
inspected by a prosthetist immediately for possible damage. If necessary, the prosthetist will
forward the prosthesis system to an authorised Ottobock Service Centre.
CAUTION
Mechanical stress on the Axon-Bus prosthetic system
Injury due to faulty control or malfunction of the Axon-Bus prosthetic system.
► Do not subject the Axon-Bus components to mechanical vibrations or impacts.
► Check the Axon-Bus components for any visible damage before each use.

acle before changing any Axon-Bus components (e.g. Axon-Bus gripping component).
CAUTION
Penetration of dirt and moisture in the Axon-Bus components

►
Ensure that neither solid particles nor liquids can penetrate into the Axon-Bus prosthetic sys­
tem or Axon-Bus components (e.g. the Axon-Bus gripping component).
