Ottobock 10V40 MyoWrist 2Act Instructions D'utilisation page 18

2.2 Field of application
The 10V40 MyoWrist 2Act is used as a flexion wrist unit with a 8E41
Ottobock System Electric Hand with M12x1.5 Threaded Stud. The 10V40
MyoWrist 2Act supports the physiologically correct posture when work-
ing with the prosthesis and reduces the need for unnatural compensatory
movements, especially when performing longer monotonous works.
2.3 Safety instructions
Please make your patients aware of the following safety instructions.
WARNING
Risk of accident when driving a motor vehicle. An upper extremity
amputee's ability 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, Ottobock recommends 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.
WARNING
Risk of accident when driving a motor vehicle. Before operating a
motor vehicle, the quick-disconnect wrist unit and flexion angle of the
10V40 MyoWrist 2Act must be so positioned that a slight turn of it,
which can occur during steering, will not disconnect the hand from the
prosthesis!
Switch the electric hand off. Driving with the electric hand turned ON
may present a risk if the hand inadvertently moves due to unintentional
muscle contraction or other causes.
