2.2 Field of application

The 10V8/10V30 Otto Bock Wrist Units – ratchet type rotation – can be used
in combination with an Otto Bock Cable-Activated Hook, an All-Purpose
Hook or an Otto Bock System Hand.
The 10V8 is the ratchet type rotation wrist unit for standard fittings.
The 10V30 is used for long forearm residual limbs, in cases where a fitting
with the 10V8 would result in an excessive arm length.

2.3 Safety instructions

Please make your patients aware of the following safety instructions:
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
authorized test centre.
For maximum safety and convenience, Otto Bock 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 improper manipulation. Inadvertent ac-
tivation of the release lever can make the terminal device come loose.
CAUTION
Risk of injury as a result of excessive strain. The Otto Bock prosthetic
components described in these instructions for use have been developed
for activities of daily living and must not be used for unusual activities
such as extreme sports (free climbing, paragliding, etc.).
