Product Description
2.3 AxonMaster
Various control modes and switching methods as well as the option of implementing a fine-tuned patient-specific
adjustment are available for optimum adaptation to the patient. For information please refer to the 647G590
Instructions for Use for the 13E500 AxonMaster.
Two MyoBock electrodes, e.g., 13E200/202=*, or if necessary a pull switch, e.g., 9X18, can be connected to the
13E500 AxonMaster.

2.5 Forearm Connection Cables
The forearm cables establish the electrical connection between the AxonArm and the Axon-Bus gripping compon
ent. They are already installed on the flexion aid and can be replaced if damaged.
2.6 Lock
The internal infinite-position lock on the AxonArm can be unlocked or locked under load in any position. In the
locked state, a new AxonArm with a forearm length of 305 mm has a load capacity of 230 N (this value may decline
slightly over the course of several years due to wear). The lock will slip under higher loads.
2.6.1 Mechanical Release
Mechanical unlocking and locking can be carried out by means of a pull cable when the AxonArm Ergo 12K501 is
off or if the rechargeable battery is empty. The AxonArm Hybrid 12K500 can only be unlocked and locked using the
pull cable because it has no electronic locking element.
The lock can also be released under load with a constant low applied force of approx. 10 N.
A strong pull on the cable (clicking sound) locks or unlocks the joint permanently.
2.6.2 Electronic Unlocking (AxonArm Ergo 12K501)
The locking and unlocking of the elbow is controlled myoelectrically by means of electrode signals or a switch. The
control devices must be connected to the AxonMaster 13E500. For further information on control and the control
programs please refer to the 647G590 Instructions for Use for the AxonMaster 13E500.
2.6.3 Controlling the Electronic Lock
The electronic lock can be controlled myoelectrically by the following means configured at the factory:
•
A long co-contraction on channels 1 and 2 of the AxonMaster releases or locks the lock.
•
A short co-contraction switches the gripping mode of the gripper.
•
A pulse on channel 3 of the AxonMaster releases or locks the lock.
2.7 Power Supply
Power to the AxonArm and the Axon-Bus gripping component is supplied by the 757B501 AxonEnergy Integral
positioned in the forearm. The capacity is sufficient for one day of normal everyday activities. Regular overnight
recharging of the battery is recommended. LEDs on the battery charger provide information about the battery
charge level.

EasyPlug is a through-connection integrated into the
elbow joint for connecting the Axon-Bus. Since there
are no external cables, its overall durability is
increased, reducing the risk of defects caused by
broken cables and enhancing cosmetic appearance at
the same time. With the AxonArm only the AxonMaster
13E500 is attached in the region of the elbow ball. All
other slots have no function and are thus covered by
caps.
