WARNING
Risk of accident when driving a motor vehicle. The ability of prosthesis
users 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
authorised test centre.
For maximum safety and convenience, Ottobock recommend 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 injury as a result of excessive strain. The Ottobock prosthetic
components described here have been developed for activities of daily
living 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 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 the Ottobock Service.
NOTICE
Risk of corrosion. Prosthetic components must not be exposed to cor-
rosive elements such as fresh water, salt water and acids.
Using this medical device in such environmental conditions will render
all claims against Otto Bock HealthCare null and void.
