C-Leg Modes; 1St Mode, 2Nd Mode And 3Rd Mode - Ottobock C-Leg Prosthetic System Instrucciones De Uso

That process also requires the 60X5 (60X4) BionicLink PC for the data transfer and the 4X180=* C-Soft (V2.4 and
higher) for the parameter adjustment (see Section "2.7 C-Soft" ).

2.9 C-Leg Modes

2.9.1 1st Mode, 2nd Mode and 3rd Mode

INFORMATION
Advise your patients of the information in this section.
Upon delivery to the user, the C-Leg must always be in the 1st mode.
The C-Leg features a 1st, 2nd and 3rd mode: The 1st mode (optionally with standing mode) is for everyday use, the
2nd and 3rd modes can be used to preprogram specific movement patterns or postures individually, such as riding
a bicycle (only available in the 2nd mode), inline skating, or cross-country skiing. The 2nd and 3rd modes can also
be defined and modified with the 4X180=* C-Soft Adjustment Software (V2.4 and higher).
Switching between modes can be done with the remote control or through specific movement patterns in the joint.
For changing between the 1st and 2nd mode using the remote control, the following prerequisites have been deter-
mined:
CAUTION
Improper switching between modes with the remote control. When switching between modes with the
remote control, the damping behaviour of the joint changes. In certain situations, this can cause the patient to fall.
The patient must stand securely when switching between modes and must carefully confirm whether the desired
function was successfully set by the C-Leg.
CAUTION
Penetration of water in the remote control. The remote control is not waterproof. If water penetrates the
remote control, the device may become damaged (guaranty will become void). This can lead to malfunction of the
remote control, result in unexpected actions of the joint, and cause the patient to fall.
Should water have penetrated the remote control, the device should be dried at room temperature for at least one
day. Before starting to reuse the remote control, return it to an authorized Ottobock Service for inspection.
CAUTION
Manipulation on the remote control. Any changes or modifications you make to the remote control on your
own initiative can lead to malfunction and result in unexpected actions of the joint. This can cause the patient to
fall.
Any changes or modifications to the device may limit its use.
INFORMATION
Patient instructions for switching and configuring with the remote control!
Keep the joint and the residual limb still (no bending or extending!).
The remote control must be activated prior to switching between modes or configurations.
The remote automatically deactivates itself, if no action is performed within three seconds after activation of the
remote control (e.g. switching between 1st mode and 2nd mode, configuration of the standing mode functionality,
etc.).
For safety purposes, the working range of the remote control is limited to approximately 70 cm. However, the re-
mote control will only function properly if held at least 30 cm away from the joint. If the mode switch was not per-
formed, ensure that the remote control is placed between 30 and 70 cm of the C-Leg and repeat the command.
