Class I - Dangerous
A software issue can make the foot move into dorsiflexion, unnoticed by the user, who could fall. When sitting, the prosthetic foot can go into the Relief Function to move the footplate towards the ground. When operating machines with foot pedals (e.g. a car) the foot could get stuck under the foot pedal and block it or, with the foot on the pedal, it could cause unintended vehicle acceleration.
Otto Bock Healthcare GmbH is voluntarily recalling all 3R62 Pheon polycentric prosthetic knee joints distributed since February 2014 because the locking function may fail under certain conditions which may result in a fall.
