Charging The C-Leg® Prosthesis System - Otto Bock C‑Leg 3C98-1 Manual De Instrucciones

2.4 Charging the C-Leg® Prosthesis System
INFORMATION
Advise your patients of the information in this section.
1
CAUTION
Incorrect behaviour while charging the joint. If the patient walks while the battery charger is connected to
the prosthesis, he can get caught on the cable and fall.
Take off the prosthesis prior to charging.
CAUTION
Incorrect handling while charging the joint. If the joint is not flexed completely during charging, the charging
plug can get damaged and the joint can no longer be charged. This can lead to insufficient power supply to the
electronics of the joint and result in undefined conditions. This can cause the patient to fall.
During charging, keep the C-Leg® fully flexed.
INFORMATION
Prior to charging with the 4E50-* Charger, read the corresponding 647G262 Instructions for Use.
The battery is empty upon delivery. The battery of the C-Leg® must therefore be charged prior to the first fitting of
the patient.
1 Bend the C-Leg® until it hits the stop.
2 Remove the 4X73 Protective Plug for the C-Leg®.
3 Connect the 4E50-* Charger and verify the charging process (see following figures).
Both LEDs are off.
No power supply
(or defective charger)
4 After charging, remove the charging plug (C-Leg® performs self-test and activates 1st mode) and reattach the
protective plug.
INFORMATION
• The capacity of a fully charged battery is sufficient for one full day. We recommend charging the battery over-
night when using the prosthesis on a daily basis.
• Charging is only possible at temperatures above 0 °C.
