4.2 Safety Instructions

4.2.1 General Safety Instructions

WARNING
Risk of accident while operating a vehicle
The ability of orthosis users to operate a vehicle is determined on a case-by-case basis. This
depends on the individual abilities of the orthosis wearer.
► This may lead to an accident due to unexpected actions of the orthosis.
→ All users are required to observe their country's national and state driving laws when operat­
ing vehicles. For insurance purposes, drivers should have their driving ability examined and
approved by an authorised test centre.
→ In general, Ottobock recommends that the vehicle should be professionally retrofitted to
meet each user's individual needs.
→ Safe driving must be ensured even when the orthosis is not functioning.
WARNING
Damaged power supply, adapter plug or battery charger
This may cause an electric shock caused by:
► Contact with exposed, live components.
→ Do not open the power supply, adapter plug or battery charger.
→ Replace damaged power supplies, adapter plugs or battery chargers immediately.
CAUTION
Signs of wear on system components
This may lead to falling caused by:
► Malfunctioning of the orthosis.
→ In the interest of user safety and in order to maintain reliability and protect the warranty, the
specified service intervals must be observed.
CAUTION
Malfunction of the orthosis
► This may lead to falling.
→ Observe the acoustic warning signals (beep signals) of the orthosis Safety Mode Activation
Indicator.
CAUTION
Failure to observe the safety instructions
This can have the following consequences:
