Information On Use - Ottobock C-Leg 3C98-3 Instrucciones De Uso

► Avoid remaining in the vicinity of visible or concealed theft prevention systems at the
entrance/exit of stores, metal detectors/body scanners for persons (e.g. in airports) or
other sources of strong magnetic and electrical interference (e.g. high-voltage lines,
transmitters, transformer stations, computer tomographs, magnetic resonance tomo­
graphs, etc.).
If this cannot be avoided, ensure at least that you are able to walk or stand steadily (e.g.
by using a handrail or the support of another person).
► When walking through theft prevention systems, body scanners or metal detectors,
watch for unexpected changes in the damping behaviour of the product.
CAUTION
Remaining in areas outside the allowable temperature range
Falling due to malfunction or the breakage of load-bearing product components.
Avoid remaining in areas with temperatures outside of the permissible range (see
►
Page 68).

4.7 Information on Use

CAUTION
Walking up stairs
Falling due to foot placed incorrectly on stair as a result of changed damping behaviour.
► Always use the handrail when walking up stairs and place most of the area of the sole of
your foot on the stair surface.
► Particular caution is required when carrying children up stairs.
CAUTION
Walking down stairs
Falling due to foot placed incorrectly on stair as a result of changed damping behaviour.
► Always use the handrail when walking down stairs and roll over the edge of the step with
the middle of the shoe.
► Observe the warnings/error signals (see Page 66).
► If pulsating vibration signals start (overheating mode activated), stop walking down stairs
immediately and check whether stance phase control is active.
► Particular caution is required when carrying children down stairs.
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 overheat­
ing mode.
> Burns due to touching overheated components.
► Be sure to pay attention to pulsating vibration signals. They indicate the risk of overheat­
ing.
► As soon as these pulsating vibrations 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. The product should be inspected by an authorised Ottobock Service Centre.
