– It is not recommended to use your device whilst undergoing specific investigations or treatments when in
close proximity of other medical electrical equipment.
– Do not use while charging is in progress.
– Only use with gloves supplied by Össur.
– Always use with gloves to avoid risk of electrostatic build-up and discharge.
– Do not use oil-based lotions on the skin, e.g. Vaseline.

Batteries:
– Only use Össur batteries with this device.
– Only use the Össur charger to charge Össur batteries.
– Make sure the battery is not subject to continued pressure once fitted.
– Internal batteries must not be replaced by the end user.
– Batteries are to be replaced annually by service personnel only.
Do not use your i-Limb hand if the battery has visibly ballooned or swelled. Do as follows:
• discontinue the charging process immediately
• disconnect the battery
• remove to a safe area
• leave and observe for 15 minutes
• replace with new battery
• do not re-use
• dispose of any leaking batteries in accordance with local regulations
If the device will not be used for a longer period of time, it is advisable to remove the battery from the prosthesis.
SAFE USE GUIDELINES
– Push the thumb to the side. Hold handles or similarly shaped objects securely in palm near the base of the
fingers. Move the thumb to the side so that it doesn't block the index from closing (Fig. 2).
– Do not block the index finger from closing around thinner objects. The object will be less secure within the
i-Limb hand if the digits are not able to conform around its shape (Fig. 3).
– Hold objects close to palm with all fingers fully closed. Ensure all digits are fully closed around objects (Fig. 4).
– Do not hold objects with fingertips or side of the fingers (Fig. 5, 6).
– Position objects close to the knuckles when pulling/pushing (Fig. 7).
– Do not pull or push objects with fingertips (Fig. 8).
– Push up with fully closed fist with force at knuckles (Fig. 9).
– Do not push up on fingers (Fig. 10).
INSTRUCTIONS FOR FABRICATION
Socket Materials
The socket design and materials used for the prosthesis are based on the client's presentation and skin condition.
Typical inner socket materials include silicone, thermoplastic and laminate. The outer socket is primarily laminate.
For a standard prosthesis, a minimum expected lay-up would be:
Inner socket: 2 layers of perlon stockinette, 2 layers of nyglass and 2 layers of perlon stockinette.
Outer socket: 4 layers of nyglass and 2 layers of perlon stockinette.
The build of each prosthesis should be adjusted specifically to meet the individual's requirements.
NOTE: Do not use carbon fiber within a myoelectric prosthesis.
NOTE: Ensure components are protected from sweat, as sweat ingress can cause damage and compromise.
