CAUTION
Risk of pinching in the joint flexion area
Injuries due to pinching of body parts.
► Ensure that fingers and other body parts are not in this area when bending the joint.
CAUTION
Penetration of dirt and humidity into the product
> Falling due to unexpected product behaviour as the result of malfunction.
> Falling due to breakage of load-bearing components.
► Ensure that no solid particles or foreign objects can penetrate into the product.
► The knee joint and AXON tube adapter are weather-proof but not resistant to corrosion.
Therefore, the knee joint and AXON tube adapter should not come into contact with salt
water or chlorinated water. Do not use the knee joint under extreme conditions like diving or
jumping into the water. The knee joint is not designed for permanent underwater use. The
knee joint and the AXON tube adapter are protected against splashed water from all direc­
tions.
► After contact with water, remove the protector and hold the prosthesis with the sole of the
foot facing up until the water has drained from the knee joint/tube adapter. Dry the knee joint
and components with a lint-free cloth and allow the components to fully air dry.
► If the knee joint or AXON tube adapter comes into contact with salt water or chlorinated
water, clean it immediately with a cloth moistened with fresh water and then dry it.
► The knee joint and the AXON tube adapter are not protected against submersion and the
penetration of jets of water and steam.
► If water gets into the electronics, the knee joint must be inspected by an authorised
Ottobock Service Centre. The prosthetist is your contact person.
