Ottobock 8K26 Instrucciones De Uso página 10

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.
CAUTION
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, 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.
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 product in such environmental conditions will render
all claims against Otto Bock HealthCare null and void.
NOTICE
Damage caused by inappropriate environmental conditions. Prosthetic
components must not be subjected to intense smoke, dust, vibrations,
shocks, or high temperatures. Do not allow debris or liquids to get into
the prosthetic components.
Failure to follow these instructions can lead to malfunctioning and dam-
age to the prosthesis.
