Use of the product when battery charge level is too low
Falling due to unexpected behaviour of the prosthesis because of changed damping behaviour.
►
Check the current charge level before use and charge the prosthesis if required.
► Note that the operating time of the product may be reduced at low ambient temperatures or due to ageing of
the battery.
CAUTION
Risk of pinching in the joint flexion area
Injuries due to pinching of body parts.

CAUTION
Penetration of dirt and humidity into the product
> Falling due to unexpected product behaviour as the result of a malfunction.
> Falling due to breakage of load-bearing components.
►
Ensure that neither solid particles, foreign objects nor liquids (such as body and/or wound fluids) penetrate
into the product.
► The knee joint and AXON tube adapter are weatherproof but not resistant to corrosion. Therefore, the knee
joint and AXON tube adapter should not come into contact with salt water, chlorinated water or other solu­
tions (such as soap or shower gel, and body and/or wound fluids). Do not use the knee joint under extreme
conditions like diving or jumping into water. The knee joint and the AXON tube adapter are protected against
splashed water from all directions, but not designed for underwater use.
►
After contact with water, remove the Protective Cover (if installed) and hold the prosthesis with the sole of the
foot facing up until the water has drained from the knee joint and AXON tube adapter. Dry the knee joint and
components with a lint-free cloth and allow the components to fully air dry.
► Should the knee joint or AXON tube adapter come into contact with
salt water, chlorinated water or other
solutions
(such as soap or shower gel, and body and/or wound fluids),
promptly
remove the Protective Cov­
er (if installed) and clean the
knee joint
. In order to do so, wipe knee joint and tube adapter with a damp
cloth (fresh water) and let them dry.
►
In case of a malfunction after drying, the knee joint and AXON tube adapter must be inspected by an author­
ised Ottobock Service Center.
► The knee joint and the AXON tube adapter are not protected against submersion and the penetration of jets of
water and steam.
