2.4 Safety instructions

Please make your patients aware of the following safety instructions:
CAUTION
Reuse on another patient
Risk of injury due to loss of functionality as well as damage to the product
fOnly use the product for a single patient.
CAUTION
Risk of falling as a result of excessive strain. The Ottobock prosthetic components described
here have been developed for prosthesis wearers with Mobility Grades 1 and 2 and must not
be used by prosthesis wearers with higher mobility grades. Otherwise, malfunctions of the joint
can occur which may result in breakage of load-bearing or functionally relevant parts. This can
cause the patient to fall.
Careful handling of the prosthesis and its components not only increases their service life but,
above all, ensures the patient's safety.
Should prosthetic components be subjected to unusual stresses (such as a fall), immediately
contact your prosthetist and have the components inspected for any damage. If necessary, the
responsible prosthetist will pass the prosthesis on to Ottobock Service.
CAUTION
Malfunctions caused by using inappropriate prosthetic components. The 3R93 Knee Joint
may only be combined with prosthetic components intended for the use with it.
CAUTION
Risk of falling due to incorrect environmental conditions. Using the knee joint in incorrect
environmental conditions can lead to malfunctions of the joint up to loss of functionality due to
structural failure. This can cause the patient to fall.
