Page 7: Prosthesis Fabrication
Prosthesis fabrication The i-limb hand is assembled in combination with a socket made to the requirements of the individual user. When fabricating the prosthesis for the i-limb hand ® consideration should be given to: a. Electrode positioning b. Battery placement, size and configuration c. -
Page 8: Electrodes
Electrodes When myotesting it is advisable to use the same elec- trode type as will be used in the users definitive pros- thesis. The electrode should be fitted into the socket in the op- timum position identified during myotesting. The elec- trode must remain in contact with the skin throughout the users range of motion, during use of the prosthesis. -
Page 9: Batteries
Batteries Touch Bionics batteries, magnetic charge port, DC port or switch block components should always be used with the i-limb ® hand. The battery should be changed every 12 months. Do not bend or shape the battery in any way. Only Touch Bionics batteries are ap- proved for use with the i-limb hand. -
Page 10: Charge Port
Magnetic charge port It is important to provide sufficient space for the charge port between the inner and outer sockets. When fabricating the outer socket the magnetic charger fabrication dummy should be used. The dummy is in 3 parts: Dummy 1: is the thickest dummy. It is used to ensure sufficient clearance within the outer socket/frame for the Dummy 1 Dummy 2... -

Prosthesis Assembly Quick wrist disconnect assembly Insert the coaxial plug into the coupling piece and secure in position using the small ‘O’ ring. Insert the coupling piece into the lamination ring and turn until seated. Insert the coupling piece ‘O’ ring and use the Quick wrist disconnect (QWD) release tool to secure in position. -
Page 12: Wrist Disarticulation Assembly
Wrist disarticulation assembly During fabrication consideration should be given to cre- ate sufficient space for the wiring and switch block and battery location. The lamination plate is fabricated directly into the outer socket. No rotation is possible at the wrist and therefore the fixed positioned should be set to be optimal for the user. - Page 13 Fig. 15: Switch block connector 13 of 27...

Page 14: Battery Charging
Battery Charging To charge the prosthesis it should be removed from the residual limb and turned off. The on/off switch is pic- tured. i-limb hand is off when switch is in left position. ® Note: A fully charged device can be employed for 16hours depending on its use. -
Page 15: Switch Block Or Dc Charge Port
Charging the battery Plug the mains charger into the mains socket. Attach the magnetic charger to the charger port on the prosthesis. When in standby, the charger unit will display a faint green light. When charging is in progress, a red light is displayed. When fully charged a green light is displayed. -
Page 16: External Battery
A car charger is also available. To remove the charger lead connector from the i-limb ® hand, grip the connector and pull directly away from the port. Consult Warnings and Precautions for additional information. If you intend to travel outside of your home country you will need to ensure that you have a Touch Bionics charger that will work in the country to which you are traveling. -
