1.1 Product Description

i-limb digits is a highly individualized, externally powered, multi-

articulating prosthetic device oering functional enhancement

of the partial hand.

Individually motorized digits work in conjunction with available

anatomy to improve functionality. i-limb digits is externally

powered and oers compliant grip through individually powered

digits with stall out ability. A manually rotating thumb, when

required, in conjunction with vari-grip, auto-grasp and the wide

range of automated grip patterns lead to broad functionality.

Users can choose from a wide selection of automated grips and

gestures to help complete daily tasks, depending on i-limb digits

conguration. Grips and gestures can be customized further for

precise control.

The Wristband design enables the range of movement at the

wrist to be retained, while providing an open forearm to reduce

the build-up of heat and associated sweating. Hand control sites

provide a reliable electrode position facilitating the Wristband

option.

1.3 Know Your Prosthesis

Your i-limb digits device is a mechanical device to assist

with everyday tasks. Although the device may look similar to a

natural hand, there are some things that a normal hand can do

that are not possible with the i-limb digits device.

To get the most out of the device do not use the i-limb digits

device where you would not use a natural hand. The i-limb digits

device will limit sensation and so you may not be aware if the

hand is being stressed by excessive weight, temperature or

moisture, or has been struck by an object that would cause pain

in a natural hand. A natural hand and forearm absorb shock, the

i-limb digits device is less able to do this. The i-limb digits device

will not dampen vibration as much as the soft tissues of a natural

hand.

The i-limb digits device will be damaged if the joints are

moved in a way in which they were not designed. Do not apply

forces to the side of the digits, or move the joints in directions

which they are not intended to move.

When carrying a bag or other object protect the hand by resting

the handle or strap toward the center of the hand and away

from the tips of the digits.

For further information contact your prosthetist.

Your device should be treated like any electrical device, it is

important to avoid contact with water or moisture. Wipe your

prosthesis dry quickly if there is any contact (review Warnings

and Precautions for a comprehensive overview).

1.4 Wristband

The i-limb digits Wristband has a circumference range of 155mm

(6”) to 270mm (10.5”) and is positioned approximately 50mm

(2”) proximal of the wrist joint, depending on anatomy. If a larger

Wristband is required, an extension piece can be added (contact

Touch Bionics to discuss your needs).

The i-limb digits Wristband contains the PCB and two removable

3.7V batteries. It is connected to the socket and frame by a exible

sheath containing the wiring.

The wristband is designed to t loosely around the distal forearm.

It is not designed to be used for suspension of the prosthesis or to

hold electrodes in position against the skin.

Your i-limb digits device has been designed with a socket

interface which has been specially created by your prosthetist

team. The socket interface should t comfortably and directly to

your residual hand. Some minor redness on your residual hand

may be normal when you rst remove the device. However if

this redness does not go away within 20 minutes or if you have

any skin breakdown from your device, contact your prosthetist

directly.

As part of the tting process, your prosthetist selected the best

2.0 Socket Interface

method for you to provide control of your device. This tells

the processor (the brains of the device) whether you want the

device to open or close. One option is an electrode. Electrodes

pick up on the electrical activity that your body gives o when

you contract a muscle. Another option is called a Force Sensing

Resistor (FSR). These allow you to put pressure against a pad

inside your device using movement from your residual hand.

While gaining good control may take time and practice, your

method of input should not cause pain. Talk with your prosthetist

if you do not understand how your input control is working or if

it is causing discomfort.

2.1 Socket Interface and Electrodes

2.2 Battery

i-limb digits is powered by two, 800mAh, 3.7 Volt batteries which

have been specically designed to meet the power requirements

of i-limb digits devices. Four batteries are provided, two for the

wristband and two spares. Two 3.7v batteries will be needed with

the Wristband (the wristband will not work with only one battery)

Each battery is equipped with a LED display alerting you when

the battery is low on charge. If the battery is low on charge the

LED will illuminate RED. The LED will remain illuminated until the

battery is adequately charged.

Only Touch Bionics batteries are approved for use

with i-limb digits, use of alternative batteries will

invalidate the warranty.

The batteries provided are designed to work specically

with the Touch Bionics i-limb digits Wristband and are

not to be used with any other device.

Batteries are tted into the Wristband battery housing and

secured by the holding catch at the wrist side of the Wristband.

Release the holding catch to remove the battery.

The Wristband is switched on and o via the grey button on the

central panel. The light sequence is as follows:

the batteries in the charger as illustrated. Insert the charger lead

from the battery powerpack into the charge port. Insert the

charger into the power outlet.

Charging time from full discharge is approximately 2 hours.

On the base plate of the charger you will see the various light

sequences:

• Middle light on: Charger is plugged in

• 2nd and 5th lights blinking Green: Batteries are charging

• 2nd and 5th lights solid Green: Batteries are charged

• 1st and 4th Red lights on: Battery fault, unplug and try again.

If lights continue to illuminate, contact your prosthetist.

3.0 biosim

3.1 biosim Overview

3.2 biosim Connecting

All i-limb devices are tted with a Bluetooth® receiver enabling it to work with a sophisticated software package known as biosim.

biosim-i is the version designed for patient users. biosim-i contains access to training and games along and allows you to perform

some basic changes to settings.

For you to access and operate the my i-limb mobile application with i-limb digits, you will need to download the my i-limb application

(downloadable from the Apple® App Store) to the iPod® Touch supplied by Touch Bionics or compatible device: iPhone® (4s or newer),

iPad® (4th generation or newer), iPad® mini, iPod (5 or newer). Users of the mobile application can consult the my i-limb digits Quick

Start Guide available at www.touchbionics.com/downloads/document-library.

The biosim software, working through the Bluetooth“biosim handshake”wireless connection (not supplied, must be ordered), provides

access to a range of control options, training features, real time display of impulses, battery status and health check.

PC requirements are as follows: Window XP, Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8; Microsoft.NET framework v3.5; USB port for

Bluetooth® connector. Mac requirements are as follows: Mac OS X Lion (10.7) and higher, USB port for Bluetooth connector. Occasionally

updates to the biosim software and application will be available. Your computer will need to have an internet connection to receive

these updates. An automated notication will advise you when this is needed. Follow the steps as advised in the notication.

biosim-i is not contained on the bluetooth handshake device

and must be downloaded from the internet. biosim-i can be

found at http://www.touchbionics.com/biosimdownload. After

downloading, open biosim-i by clicking on the biosim icon (g.

2) which should be clearly visible on the screen. The biosim

Handshake device (available for order, g. 1) must also be inserted

into a USB port to allow the Bluetooth signal to be received by

the i-limb device. The Handshake Bluetooth receiver will pick up

signals within a 10 meter range.

Figure 1

The opening welcome screen will load. The language can now be

changed from the default English to a variety of languages. This

is done by clicking on the language indicator at the bottom right

hand side of the screen and scrolling to the required language.

The rst numerical icon “insert handshake”request will ash. On

insertion of the handshake the icon will be constantly lit, the

“handshake installed and ready”box will then self-tick. The second

icon will now be constantly lit and the third icon “Connecting

to device” will ash. The tab marked “connect” must now be

clicked for the connection to be made, this will take approximately

15 seconds.
