Maintenance Instructions; Legal Information - Ottobock 3R95 Gebrauchsanweisung

Attention!
Do not use talcum powder to eliminate noise in the cosmetic foam cover. Talcum powder
reduces the lubrication of the mechanical parts, which may lead to malfunctions and
thus increase the risk of failure. Using this medical product after application of talcum
powder will render all claims null and void.
Notice:
To reduce friction and to eliminate noise, please apply 519L5 Silicone Spray directly on
the contact surfaces of the cosmetic foam cover.

4.5 Maintenance instructions

Attention!
Do not disassemble the knee joint! If you have a problem, please send the knee joint
in for service.
Ottobock recommends readjusting the knee joint's settings once the patient has gotten used to
the prosthesis. This period of time varies depending on individual patient characteristics.
Please check the knee joint for wear and proper function once a year and make adjustments,
if necessary. Special attention should be paid to the flexion and extension resistances and ab-
normal noises.
Full flexion and extension must be guaranteed.
Whenever servicing the knee joint, replace the rubber stop.
Note:
As a basic principle, all Ottobock knee joints are subjected to tests involving three million load
cycles. Depending on the amputee's activity this corresponds to a service life of three to five years.
We recommend carrying out regular safety checks once a year.
