WARNING
Risk of accident when driving a motor vehicle. An upper extremity
amputee's ability to drive a vehicle is determined on a case-by-case
basis. Factors include the type of fitting (amputation level, unilateral
or bilateral, residual limb conditions, design of the prosthesis) and the
amputee's abilities.
All persons are required to observe their country's national and state
driving laws when operating motor vehicles. For insurance purposes,
drivers should have their driving ability examined and approved by an
authorized test center.
For maximum safety and convenience, Ottobock recommends that, at
the very least, a specialist evaluate the need for any adaptations to the
car (such as by installing a steering fork, automatic shift). Risk-free
driving should be ensured even when the prosthesis is not functioning.
CAUTION
Risk of injuries caused by overuse. The Ottobock prosthetic compo-
nents described in this manual have been developed for everyday life
activities and must not be used for unusual activities such as extreme
sports (free climbing, paragliding, etc.).
Careful handling of the prosthesis and its components not only increases
their service life but, above all, ensures the patient's safety!
Should the prosthesis be subjected to unusual stresses (such as a fall),
immediately contact your prosthetist and have the prosthesis inspected
for any damage. If necessary, the responsible prosthetist will pass the
prosthesis on to the Ottobock Service.
NOTICE
Risk of corrosion. Please avoid exposing prosthetic components to sur-
roundings that corrode metal parts, for example, freshwater, saltwater,
acids and other liquids.
Using this medical product in such environmental conditions will render
all claims against Otto Bock HealthCare null and void.
