Overheating Mode; Storage And Bleeding; Cleaning; Maintenance - Ottobock Genium X3 3B5-3 Gebrauchsanweisung

Moderate error: Continuous stance phase flexion resistance is set, with the ability to initiate
•
the swing phase. The swing phase control and stance phase extension resistance may be
available or not depending on the type of error.
• Safety mode flexion resistance is configured. This may be low or high depending on the set­
ting configured by the prosthetist.
The following functions are deactivated in safety mode:
• OPG function
• Stairs and obstacles function
• Stance function
• Sitting function

10.4 Overheating mode

INFORMATION
When mute mode (silent mode) is activated, no beep and vibration signals are generated.
When the hydraulic unit overheats due to uninterrupted, increased activity (e.g. extended walking
downhill), damping is increased along with the rising temperature in order to counteract the over­
heating. When the hydraulic unit cools down, the product switches back to the damping settings
that existed before the overheating mode.
Overheating mode is not activated in the MyModes.
Overheating mode is indicated by a long vibration every 5 seconds.
The following functions are deactivated in overheating mode:
• Sitting function
• Display of the battery charge level without additional equipment
• Switching to a MyMode

11 Storage and bleeding

Air may accumulate in the hydraulic unit if the product is stored for longer periods and not in an
upright position. This is noticeable through sounds and irregular damping behaviour.
The automatic bleeding mechanism ensures that all functions of the product are again intact after
approximately 10 - 20 steps.
Storage
• When storing the knee joint, press the top of the knee to the flexion stop.
• Avoid extended disuse of the product (use the product regularly).

12 Cleaning

1) Rinse the product with clear fresh water.
2) Dry the product with a soft cloth.
3) Allow to air dry in order to remove residual moisture.
INFORMATION
Please note that the weight of dirt adhering to the prosthesis can affect the gait pattern.

13 Maintenance

INFORMATION
This component was tested for three million load cycles in accordance with ISO 10328.
Depending on the activity level, this corresponds to a service life of three to five years.
