Torque Values Of The Screw Connections - Ottobock Genium Gebrauchsanweisung

6. Push the protruding cable loop back into the tube adapter (Fig. 5). If the tube adapter has been shortened to
the minimum possible length, the plug must be inserted in the cavity (Fig. 6). The cable loop must then be stored
carefully.
7. Push the tube adapter 60 mm into the 3B1/3B1=ST Knee Joint (Fig. 7). Corrections to min. 40 mm and max.
70 mm insertion depth of the tube adapter into the knee joint are permitted.
CAUTION
Inserting the tube adapter. If the tube adapter is not inserted far enough into the knee joint, a loss of functionality
due to structural failure can result. This can cause the patient to fall.
For reliable operation, the tube adapter must be inserted at least 40 mm.
INFORMATION
If the length must be adjusted by pushing the tube adapter in or out during the subsequent trial fitting, the patient
must always be seated. Before the prosthetic limb is loaded with body weight after adjusting the length, the screws
on the tube clamp of the knee joint must first be tightened to the prescribed torque values.
8. Turn the foot outwards slightly, and tighten both screws on the clamp fitting slightly using an Allen key (size 4 mm)
(approx. 4 Nm) (Fig. 8).
INFORMATION
If
• the tube adapter is shortened excessively,
• the foot has been replaced with a foot with a lower system height,
• a shorter tube adapter is used in the event of a service joint,
intermediate adapters (e.g. 4R84) can be used to compensate for the height difference.
If you do so, the knee axis-ankle adapter distance must be re-entered in the software.
In general, the tube adapter should be left as long as possible.
3 Torque values of the screw connections
CAUTION
Failure to comply with torque values. Loss of functionality due to structural failure may result if the tightening
torques required for the screw connections are not observed. This can cause the patient to fall.
Observing the specified tightening torques is essential for safe operation.
15 Nm
Use a 710D4 Torque Wrench with a 710Y2=4 Hex Bit to tighten the screws alternately, in several steps increasing
the torque slowly, until the prescribed torque is reached:
1. Tube adapter: 15 Nm
2. Clamp: 7 Nm
3. Fitting for short residual limb
When using a rotation adapter or sliding tube clamp adapter: 15 Nm
Fitting for long residual limb
Lamination anchor with threaded connector: 10 Nm
