2 Safety instructions
CAUTION
Non-observance of safety instructions. Failure to follow the below-mentioned safety instructions
can lead to a faulty control or malfunction of the C-Leg compact and result in risk of injuries as well
as damage to the C-Leg compact.
CAUTION
Manipulations on system components. Any changes or modifications you make to system
components on your own initiative can lead to malfunction of the joint up to loss of function due to
structural failure. This can cause you to fall.
• The opening and repairing of the joint may only be performed by authorized Ottobock technicians
and the handling of the battery may only be carried out by Ottobock Service Centres (exchanges
are not permissible). Your prosthetist is the contact person.
CAUTION
Risk of falling when climbing stairs. On stairs, always use the banister or handrail. When
walking down stairs, the prosthetic foot should always be placed on the step so that the heel and
posterior half of the foot contact the tread surface; the forefoot may extend beyond the riser to make
knee flexion easier.
• Stop walking on stairs immediately whenever the sound warning beeps. Make careful tests to
verify if the stance phase stabilization is active (see Section "Important User Instructions").
• Pay attention to the vibration and sound warnings (beeps) of the C-Leg compact.
• Special caution is required when walking downstairs while carrying children.
