2.3 Safety instructions
Please make your patients aware of the following safety instructions:
WARNING
Risk of accident when driving a motor vehicle. The ability of prosthesis
users to drive a vehicle is determined on a case-by-case basis. Factors
include the type of fitting (amputation level, unilateral or bilateral, residual
limb conditions, design of the prosthesis) and the amputee's abilities.
All persons are required to observe their country's national and state
driving laws when operating motor vehicles. For insurance purposes,
drivers should have their driving ability examined and approved by an
authorized test centre.
For maximum safety and convenience, Otto Bock recommend that, at
the very least, a specialist evaluate the need for any adaptations to the
car (such as by installing a steering fork, automatic shift). Risk-free
driving should be ensured even when the prosthesis is not functioning.
CAUTION
Risk of injury as a result of improper manipulation. Inadvertent ac-
tivation of the release lever can make the terminal device come loose.
