Therefore, keeping a minimum distance of 30 cm to HF communication devices is recom
►
mended.
CAUTION
Wearing in extreme ambient temperatures
Injury due to faulty control or malfunction of the Axon-Bus prosthetic system.
Avoid wearing the prosthesis in areas with temperatures outside of the permissible range
►
(see page 31).
4.5 Information on Use
WARNING
Operating the prosthesis near active implanted systems
Interference with active implantable systems (e.g., pacemaker, defibrillator, etc.) due to electro
magnetic emissions of the prosthesis.
When operating the prosthesis in the immediate vicinity of active implantable systems,
►
ensure that the minimum distances stipulated by the manufacturer of the implant are
observed.
Make sure to observe any operating conditions and safety instructions stipulated by the man
►
ufacturer of the implant.
CAUTION
Using the prosthesis with pointed or sharp objects (e.g. knives in the kitchen)
Injury due to unintentional movements.
Use extra caution when using the prosthesis for handling pointed or sharp objects.
►
CAUTION
Risk of pinching between the fingertips
Injury due to pinching of body parts.
Ensure that no body parts are between the fingertips when using the product.
►
CAUTION
Overloading due to unusual activities
Injury due to unexpected behaviour of the Axon-Bus prosthetic system as a result of a malfunc
tion.
The Axon-Bus prosthetic system was developed for everyday use and must not be used for
►
unusual activities. These unusual activities include, for example, sports with excessive strain
and/or shocks to the socket connection (pushups, downhill racing, mountain biking, ...) or
extreme sports (free climbing, paragliding, etc.).
Careful handling of the Axon-Bus prosthetic system and the Axon-Bus components not only
►
increases their service life, but is primarily in the interest of your own safety.
If the Axon-Bus prosthetic system and the Axon-Bus components have been subjected to
►
extreme loads (e.g. through a fall or similar occurrence) the prosthesis system must be
inspected by an O&P professional immediately for possible damage. If necessary, the pros
thetist will forward the prosthetic system to an authorised Ottobock Service Centre.
CAUTION
Mechanical stress on the Axon-Bus prosthetic system
Injury due to faulty control or malfunction of the Axon-Bus prosthetic system.
