Information On Proximity To Certain Areas - Ottobock 8E70 Serie Instrucciones De Uso

CAUTION
Incorrect electrode settings/electrode assignment
Injury due to unexpected product behaviour.
► The electrodes are to be placed on intact skin only and with as much electrode-skin contact
as possible. In the case of strong interference from electronic devices, the position of the
electrodes should be checked and changed if necessary. If the interference cannot be elim­
inated or if you do not achieve the expected results by adjustment or selection of the appro­
priate control programme, please contact the Ottobock branch responsible for your country.
► Set the electrode sensitivity as low as possible in order to reduce interference from powerful
electromagnetic radiation (e.g. visible or concealed theft prevention systems at the
entrance/exit of stores), metal detectors/body scanners for persons (e.g. in airports) or other
sources of strong electromagnetic interference (e.g. high-voltage lines, transmitters, trans­
former stations, computer tomographs, magnetic resonance tomographs, etc.).
► Make sure that the electrode connection positions correspond to physiological opening and
closing for the corresponding muscle groups.
INFORMATION
Do not use silicone spray when putting on the prosthetic glove. This impairs the secure fit of the
glove and can limit the functionality of the product (hand).
Observe the instructions for use provided for the prosthetic glove and the process for putting it
on and taking it off described in the same.

4.5 Information on Proximity to Certain Areas

CAUTION
Insufficient distance to HF communication devices (e.g. mobile phones, Bluetooth
devices, WiFi devices)
Injury due to unexpected behaviour of the product caused by interference with internal data
communication.
► Therefore, keeping a minimum distance of 30 cm from HF communication devices is recom­
mended.
CAUTION
Operating the product in very close proximity to other electronic devices
Injury due to unexpected behaviour of the product caused by interference with internal data
communication.
► Do not operate the product in the immediate vicinity of other electronic devices.
Do not stack the product with other electronic devices during operation.
►
► If simultaneous operation cannot be avoided, monitor the product and verify proper use in
the existing setup.
CAUTION
Proximity to sources of strong magnetic or electrical interference (e.g. theft prevention
systems, metal detectors)
Injury due to unexpected behaviour of the product caused by interference with internal data
communication.
