Information On The Power Supply/Battery Charging; Battery Charger Information - Ottobock Meridium 1B1 Instrucciones De Uso

INFORMATION
When exoprosthetic components are used, the use of control functions which are performed
hydraulically or movement of the component in the footshell can cause noise. This kind of noise
is normal and unavoidable. It generally does not cause any problems. If movement noise
increases noticeably during the lifecycle of the component, the component should be immedi­
ately inspected by authorised qualified Ottobock personnel.
Signs of changes in or loss of functionality during use
Reduced spring effect (e.g. decreased forefoot resistance or changed rollover characteristics) is
an indication of loss of functionality.
