Intended Use - Ottobock 4R98 Gebrauchsanweisung

1.1 Construction and Function
The 4R98 Sliding Tube Clamp Adapter permits translation adjustments at
the proximal end of a tube adapter. It therefore permits the distal compon­
ents of the modular prosthesis to be shifted in parallel, regardless of the
angle adjustment by the pyramid adapters. The adjustments can be made
either in the frontal plane (medial or lateral) or in the sagittal plane (anterior
or posterior). This is also possible while wearing the prosthesis.
1.2 Combination possibilities
This prosthetic component is compatible with Ottobock's system of modular
connectors. Functionality with components of other manufacturers that have
compatible modular connectors has not been tested.

2 Intended use

2.1 Indications for use
The product is to be used solely for lower limb prosthetic fittings.
2.2 Area of application
Approved for a body weight of up to 75 kg.
Ottobock recommends the use of structural components with a diameter of
34 mm when elevated loads are expected (e.g. for a transtibial prosthesis).
2.3 Environmental conditions
Allowable environmental conditions
Temperature range for use: -10 °C to +60°C
Allowable relative humidity 0 % to 90 %, non-condensing
Unallowable environmental conditions
Mechanical vibrations or impacts
Perspiration, urine, fresh water, salt water, acids
Dust, sand, highly hygroscopic particles (e.g. talcum)
2.4 Service life
In general, all modular adapters are tested by the manufacturer for 3 million
load cycles. Depending on the patient's level of activity, this corresponds to
a service life of 3 to 5 years.
