7 Remote Control
7.1 Introduction
INFORMATION
Advise your patient of the information in this section.
During normal operation, the 3B1/ 3B1=ST Knee Joint can be used in basic mode (including optional standing func-
tion, sitting function, stair and obstacle function and OPG function) and in up to five different MyModes. The MyModes
can be activated using the remote control.
Basic mode is used on a day-to-day basis, while the MyModes are pre-programmed for specific movements and/or
postures such as bending over a workbench, cycling, inline skating or cross-country skiing.
X-Soft is used to configure which MyModes are used as well as their settings. However, some parameters can also
be adjusted with the remote control.
CAUTION
Improper MyMode switching with the remote control. MyMode switching using the remote control changes the
damping characteristics of the knee joint. 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 3B1/3B1=ST Knee Joint.
CAUTION
Penetration of water into the remote control. The remote control is not waterproof. If water penetrates the remote
control, the device may be damaged (warranty will become void). This can lead to malfunction of the remote control,
result in unexpected actions of the knee joint and cause the patient to fall.
The device should then be left to dry at room temperature for at least 1 day. Before using the remote control again,
send it to an authorised Ottobock Service Centre.
CAUTION
Manipulation of the remote control. Any unauthorised changes or modifications you make to the remote control
can lead to malfunction and result in unexpected actions of the knee joint. This can cause the patient to fall.
Any changes or modifications to the device may limit its usability.
CAUTION
Unauthorised connection. If an unauthorised connection is made between a remote control and a knee joint, this
may result in unexpected actions of the knee joint. This can cause the user to fall. Pairing up the remote control and
the knee joint does not require entering a password or confirmation from the knee joint. Therefore, it is theoretically
possible (if the serial number of the knee joint is known or only one knee joint is within range) that a third party can
pair up a remote control with the knee joint and change settings or switch between MyModes.
INFORMATION
The knee joint should be consciously kept motionless during the switching process.
INFORMATION
For safety reasons, the remote control automatically turns off after two minutes. After the remote control is turned
on, approximately three seconds may elapse before it is ready for mode switching processes.
INFORMATION
The range of the remote control is max. 5 metres.
