Notes On The Safety Modes - Ottobock Kenevo 3C60 Instrucciones De Uso

CAUTION
Overheating of the hydraulic unit due to uninterrupted, increased activity (e.g. extended
walking downhill)
> Falling due to unexpected behaviour of the product because of switching into overheating
mode.
> Burns due to touching overheated components.
► Be sure to pay attention when pulsating vibration signals start. They indicate the risk of over­
heating.
As soon as these pulsating vibration signals begin, you have to reduce the activity level so
►
the hydraulic unit can cool down.
► Full activity may be resumed after the pulsating vibration signals stop.
► If the activity level is not reduced in spite of the pulsating vibration signals, this could lead to
the hydraulic element overheating and, in extreme cases, cause damage to the product. In
this case, the product should be checked for damage by a prosthetist. If necessary, the
prosthetist will forward the product to an authorised Ottobock Service Centre.
CAUTION
Overloading due to unusual activities
> Falling due to unexpected product behaviour as the result of a malfunction.
> Falling due to breakage of load-bearing components.
> Skin irritation due to defects on the hydraulic unit with leakage of liquid.
► The product was developed for everyday use and should not be used for walking speeds
over 3 km/h or unusual activities. These unusual activities include, for example, extreme
sports (free climbing, parachuting, paragliding, etc.).
► Careful handling of the product and its components not only increases their service life but,
above all, ensures your personal safety!
► If the product and its components have been subjected to extreme loads (e.g. due to a fall,
etc.), then the product must be inspected for damage immediately by an O&P professional.
If necessary, he or she will forward the product to an authorised Ottobock Service Centre.
