Please note some of the images may differ as this document applies to both the medium and large size of hands. Read this document throughly before fitting a bebionic3 hand. A bebionic system is completed by adding from a selection of compatible system components including myo electrodes (or other input devices), battery systems, wrists and cables. We recommend RSLSteeper components for all of these requirements. The bebionic3 hand is designed for mild to moderate activities. Its use in situations where heavy loads, vibrations or impacts may be encountered must be avoided. Key:

The hand has two selectable thumb positions: opposed & non-opposed. Opposed is where the thumb is in opposition to the fingers on the hand, allowing grips like pinch and power. Non-Opposed is where the thumb is parallel with the fingers of the hand and allows grips like key and finger point. Opposed Non-opposed 09 Introduction 2.1 Factory Settings 2.2 Programme Switch The hand is supplied preset in Mode 4. This provides two input operation with proportional control of grip and speed. Speed & grip force are set to maximum. To alternate between default and alternative grip pattern, an OPEN OPEN signal must be applied (i.e. the hand must be fully opened, the signal relaxed and then a second open signal supplied). To alternate between the primary grip pattern table and secondary grip pattern table, press the Programme Switch for less than 2 seconds. The Auto Grip feature is turned off. Primary Opposed Default - Tripod Alternative - Power Primary Non-Opposed Default - Key Alternative - Finger Point Secondary Opposed Default - Active Index Alternative - Tripod Secondary Non-Opposed Default - Column Alternative - Mouse 10 A Programme Switch is provided on the back of the hand. This has four functions;
1. Switch the hand ON and OFF A single press for approximately three seconds will switch the hand OFF. A single press for more than two seconds will switch the hand ON. 2. Alternate between the primary and secondary grip patterns When the hand is switched ON, a single press of less than two seconds will alternate between the primary and secondary grip patterns. This will be accompanied by a short bleep and vibration (if activated on bebalance). 3. Enable / disable the in-hand RF module With the hand switched ON, a single press for more than four seconds will enable the RF module. Pressing the switch again for more than two seconds or disconnecting the power to the hand will disable the RF module. 4. Enter / exit glove mode as follows With the hand switched OFF, press the button until the thumb begins to drive in. Then release the button.
! Caution Thumb adjustment MUST be done by a qualified technician or practitioner. 2.3 Thumb Adjustment. To achieve certain grips it is necessary to adjust the thumb position. There are two different planes to move the thumb in and they are detailed below. Underside of Thumb Bracket 1. Thumb ML Adjuster 2. Thumb Contact Point Adjuster An adjuster is provided to allow repositioning of the thumb for contact with either the index and middle fingers, as in Tripod Grip, or with index finger only, as in Pinch and Precision Grips. The thumb pivot assembly is fitted with a slotted screw as shown in diagram 1. This acts to adjust the friction on an internal clamp and is loosened by turning two complete turns and pushing the screw inward. With the clamp slackened the thumb position can be manually re-positioned. The assembly must be retightened before electrically driving the thumb. WARNING Please ensure screw is securely tightened before resuming use. An adjuster has also been provided to alter the baseline position of the thumb in order to optimise the contact point of the thumb tip against the opposing finger(s) for Tripod, Pinch and Precision Grips. This is done by moving the thumb either towards the palm or away from the palm. This adjuster is located under the thumb bracket as shown above. Using a hex drive the adjuster should be turned clockwise to move the thumb towards the palm and anticlockwise to move the thumb away from the palm. The effect will not be observed whilst making the adjustment and can only be observed by resetting the hand i.e. switching the hand OFF and ON again. 11 Grips 2.4 Opposed - Thumb is opposite to the fingers Tripod Pinch the To achieve this grip it is necessary to be manually for thumb repositioned by the practitioner/
technician so that the thumb only contacts
(See section 2.3). The thumb only contacts index finger and is used for the fine manipulation of objects. index finger the When the thumb is opposed, the hand closes into Tripod Grip with index and middle fingers meeting the thumb. Ring and little fingers continue to close until they meet resistance or the close signal stops. This type of grip allows users to pick up, hold and manipulate a variety of everyday objects such as car keys, coins, jar lids and pens. 12 SERIOUS WARNING NEVER use a bebionic hand with firearms. Power Active Index (Formerly Trigger) With the thumb opposed, all four fingers close into the palm until they meet resistance or the close signal stops. When fingers are approaching a fully closed position, the thumb drives in to cover the fingers for additional grip security. This pattern allows round objects such as a ball or a piece of fruit to be held securely. This grip can also provide a handshake. Cylindrical shaped objects such as bottles, home & garden utensil handles are also held easily and securely. With the thumb opposed Active Index Grip will grasp the handle of an object with the middle, ring and little fingers and secure the grip with the thumb. The index finger will then close this may be positioned over the lever of the device held such as a spray bottle. The index finger is under independent user control and may be positioned accordingly. To exit Active Index, an open signal will fully open the index finger before the other fingers and thumb release their grip. 13 Grips 2.5 Non-Opposed - Thumb is inline with the palm. Key Finger Point In the non-opposed thumb position, the four fingers partially close. The thumb then closes onto the side of the index finger. The thumb position may be raised and lowered without moving the other four fingers allowing for release, capture or reposition of the object being gripped. This pattern is ideal for carrying paper or letters, using a spoon and for holding a thin flat object such as a plate, a credit card or a key. With the thumb in the non-opposed setting, the user can move to a Finger Point position. The middle, ring, and little fingers close against the palm and the thumb moves against the middle finger. With this grip, typing on a keyboard or input pad, pressing a bell or a button can be achieved. 14 Column Mouse This grip moves the thumb into the palm from a non-opposed position. The fingers then close over the thumb to provide a fixed column that can be used as a way to push heavier objects or larger buttons and switches. Column is also the recommended grip for dressing, as the thumb is kept out of the way. With the thumb non-opposed, the thumb and little finger close to hold the side of the mouse, with the middle and ring fingers providing stability. The index finger closes on to the mouse button and then backs off to provide the button press. Each close signal will give a mouse click whilst an open signal will release the mouse. 15 Grips 2.6 Further functions of the bebionic3 hand. Precision Open Precision Closed To achieve this grip it is necessary for the thumb to be manually repositioned by the practitioner/
technician so that the thumb only contacts the index finger. With the thumb opposed, the index finger meets the static thumb allowing the user to pick up and manipulate small objects. When this grip is selected and a close signal is applied, the thumb closes to the midpoint of its range and pauses. The index is then active and under user control. The middle, ring and little fingers remain extended. 16 the To achieve this grip it is necessary to be manually for thumb repositioned by the practitioner/
technician so that the thumb only contacts the index finger. This grip can be used in situations similar to the Precision Open Grip but where extended fingers would be obstructive, when working at a desk for instance. Initially the middle, ring and little fingers close into the palm. The thumb moves to the midpoint of its range and pauses. The Index is then active and under user control. Hook Finger Adduction With the thumb in opposed, a partially closed Power Grip gives the Hook Grip.This is ideal for carrying a shopping bag or briefcase. together naturally as The fingers of the bebionic hand move the fingers close. This allows the user to securely grip thin objects, such as cutlery or a toothbrush, between the fingers to achieve function in a different plane. Finger Adduction is most functional with the hand in Power Grip but can also be achieved with the hand in Key and Pinch. 17 Grips 2.6 Further functions of the bebionic3 hand. Open Palm Relaxed Hand With the thumb in the non-opposed position the hand may be fully opened to provide a flat palm suitable for carrying a tray or a plate. The thumb is set to the non-opposed position and partially driven in toward the palm. All the fingers are driven to a slightly flexed position. Applying a further signal will drive the fingers into a carrying position. 18 be yourself 19 3.0 bebionic glove 20
! Caution There is no alternative manufacturer of cosmetic gloves for the bebionic hand and wrist. The use of other gloves may damage the hand and will void the warranty. The bebionic glove is made from a multi-layered, variable hardness, silicone based material, lined with fabric mesh. This construction resists soiling, wear and puncture damage. bebionic gloves provide high compliance with gripped objects. The fabric liner also allows the glove to slide over the joints during motion, this reduces the amount of power need to drive the hand and increases battery life. The standard glove is supplied in 19 skin tones and also in a solid black colour. bebionic gloves provide an additional barrier to dirt, dust and moisture ingress to the hand. Direct exposure to water, or situations where dirt and dust are prevalent should be avoided as these have the potential to interfere or damage the hands performance. 21 bebionic glove 3.1 fitting the bebionic glove Move the thumb into the opposed position. 1. 2. Switch the hand OFF by pressing down the programme switch on the back of the hand for approximately three seconds.
! Caution Do not use talcum powder or lubricant when fitting the glove. 5. Fold up the base of the glove. 6. Pull the glove over the hand 22
! Caution Do not attempt to fit the glove unless the hand is in glove donning mode. 3. Press and hold the programme switch for four seconds. The hand will automatically drive into glove mode 4. The thumb will be in the position shown above when the hand is in glove mode. 7. Ensure the fingers and thumb of of the hand align correctly with the fingers and thumb of the glove. 8. Hold down the programme switch for four seconds to exit glove donning mode and begin using the hand. 23 bebionic glove 3.2 Removing the bebionic glove 1. Firstly oppose the thumb. Then turn the hand OFF by holding down the programme switch for approximately three seconds. Next put the hand into glove donning mode by holding down the programme switch for 4 seconds. 2. Roll up the base of the glove and pull the whole glove off from the back of the hand. 3. Do not pull the fingers individually as this can damage the glove and hand. 4. Exit glove donning mode by pressing and holding the programme switch for 4 seconds; the hand will automatically drive out of glove donning mode and will be active in the default grip. 24 bebionic glove 3.3 Care instructions and information Care Take care when fitting and using silicone cosmetic gloves. Try to avoid contact with sharp or pointed objects. The material used will resist most staining media. High Definition Nails Silicone gloves have nails painted by hand following the manufacturing process. Bonding to the base material is good. We do not recommend the use of polystyrene nails attached with Cyano-acrylic glue as attempts to remove the nails bonded with this adhesive will permanently damage the glove. Cleaning General soiling can be removed with soap and water. After cleaning remove all traces of the cleaner and wipe the surface dry. Most dyes will be fully removed by this process. A liquid domestic fabric softener can be used in solution to reduce the tackiness of the surface. For any other enquiries please use the contact details supplied on the inside cover of this document. 25 4.0 connections & compatibility 26 A bebionic system is very versatile and allows a number of different wrist, power and connectivity options. Most options are detailed in the following section of this document. However if you have a question regarding a specific build not outlined in this document please contact RSLSteeper. The bebionic hand may also be used with other manufacturers electrodes and wrists. This means the bebionic3 hand can be fitted into an existing system without having to change every single component of the system. 27 4.1 Wrist Options There are currently 4 wrist options for the bebionic hand. Electric Quick Disconnect
(EQD) -
Short Wrist -
Allows the hand to be removed with a rotating action. The EQD wrist allows the patient to quickly rotate and remove/
attach terminal devices as required. Low profile connector for applications where there is a long residual limb. A short wrist lamination assembly is supplied attached to these hands. The hand can be rotated against a constant friction, which can be adjusted by the patient. 28 Threaded Stem -
A hand plate with a threaded stud is pre-
fitted. Two thread options can be supplied USA or European standards are available. Friction Wrist -
Interfaces with a RSLSteeper 50mm, friction wrist (part C12810). These hands are supplied pre-fitted with a Friction Wrist hand plate. The wrist has user adjustable friction that can be adjusted at any time through a simple twist action. This option produces rotations through a range of 320 degrees. 29 4.2 Battery Options WARNING Only the following battery options should be used with the bebionic3. Use of other battery systems is not recommended. BBI=2200 Typical Capacity:
2200mAh BBI=1300S Typical Capacity:

This will short the battery and will damage the system. Any damage caused is considered to be outside of the bebionic warranty. Power Cables A bebionic hand uses five actuators and therefore requires a higher current supply than single motor devices. This can be accommodated safely using bebionic power cables. Other power cable types may not be efficient or safe. However, cables from other manufacturers may be adequate for signaling application. Low Power Condition When the battery capacity approaches its lower limit, the hand will begin to slow. With continuous use it will eventually stop. If the hand stops in a closed position the user can apply a series of open signals to fully open the hand. The hand will remain in an open position until the battery is recharged. Battery Switch / Charging Module A ON/OFF switch is integrated into the charge module. The switch disconnects power completely, and has 2 positions. When the switch is positioned closest to the charge point, power is OFF and the battery can be charged by connecting the lead from the bebionic charger. When the switch is furthest away from the charge point, power is switched ON. Connecting the charger to the charge plug will have no effect on the battery. The ON/OFF switch / charge module is fitted to the battery and requires an additional connector cable to link to the hand. The connector cable for EQD hands, as shown on page 32, is supplied with each battery. For short wrist, friction wrist, or threaded stud wrist options a different connector cable (CBBHA72), as shown on page 20, will need to be ordered separately and connected to the battery pack after removing B27804. A small laminating dummy is included in the kit. Prior to lamination this is placed in a suitable location and orientation on the forearm model. The position is chosen to allow sufficient space between the inner and outer sockets and to allow easy access to the switch and plug point by the user. WARNING The prosthesis MUST NOT be worn whilst the batteries are charging. WARNING It is NOT recommended to route the power supply to the hand without passing through the switch. 31 4.4 System Connections The system detailed below is suitable for a bebionic hand with an Electronic Quick Disconnect Wrist BBI=2200 bebionic 7.4v 2200mAH battery BBI=2200S bebionic 7.4v 2200mAH split cell battery B27804 Battery Switch

Please adhere to the advice given below.
! Caution The bebionic system has not been exhaustively tested with all alternative electrodes, wrists and control systems. Any damage caused will be held to be outside of the design parameters of our system. The statements above do not imply that RSLSteeper recommend or warrant these combinations. We believe that, on the basis of statements in the literature from these manufacturers that these combinations will work effectively but it is for the bebionic practitioner to test and warrant the combination. These combinations may invalidate warranties given by other manufacturers. The practitioner should confirm the warranty position with these manufacturers.

It features many new tools which will help you and your patients optimise and customise the function of the hand. Language selection, electrode configuration with a simulation preview and simplified menu systems are all included in bebalance3. Note: Installation disc is affixed to the inside back cover.
! Caution Please DO NOT programme or control a bebionic system with unapproved, alternative software or hardware systems. Doing so will void the warranty. 37 5.1 Introduction Out of the box, the bebionic hand is pre-configured with two site proportional myoelectric control (Mode 4) where an OPEN OPEN signal is used to change grip patterns. This mode has been chosen to provide a standard solution that works well for the majority of users who demonstrate two, well controlled muscle signals. However, bebalance3 is particularly useful if muscles produce limited or difficult to control signals, as is often the case with the higher-level amputation. With bebalance3 the practitioner may adjust the operation of the electrode, reset co-contraction signals, change signal timing features, choose between one or two electrode or transducer control and enable the Auto Grip feature. All are able to enhance the users natural control capability. bebalance3 software also provides the ability to record patient information and to record a history of configuration settings for each hand. The programming of the hand requires a USB radio dongle (supplied) to be plugged into the hosting computer, which when activated, links to the radio module in the bebionic3 hand. There is also the capability to read the current configuration back from the hand and store it against the user record.
! Caution This software is not intended for patient use. Alterations should be made by the practitioner ONLY. Caution

The No RF Found message may be replaced with RF Dongle Found. By default the configuration screen opens with dual
-site control strategy. You can change to single-site by point & click on the single-site radio button under Control Strategy. For most patients, the factory settings on the bebonic hand will be adequate. However, for experienced practitioners bebalance software can be used to customise each hand to each individual through the bebionic menu option. Configuration essentially changes the way the bebionic hand operates. These changes are downloaded from the computer to the hand to allow the user to try them. Successful alterations can be loaded and saved in the hands memory. Details of individual iteration, once saved, are with the patients ID in the History file.
! Caution Only bebionic v2 and bebionic3 hands can be programmed using bebalance3 42 5.8 Grip Selection Grips can be selected and ordered as desired by the user by a simple point and click in the relevant tables. Control Option The hand can be controlled by proportional or threshold electrodes or alternatively by linear transducers or force sensitive resistors. It is possible to reverse the electrode/
transducer operation without the need to physically swap cables. By simply clicking on the electrode radio buttons highlighted below. Change Indication Function change indication is available by ticking either beep or vibrate, both or none as highlighted below. Opposed Primary This enables selection of the initial two grip patterns available with the thumb in the opposed position. The default grip is available immediately, the user can switch to the alternate grip by applying the appropriate change signal e.g. in mode 4, an OPEN OPEN signal will switch between the default and alternate grip patterns. Non-opposed Primary Allows selection of the grip patterns as described above, but with the thumb in the non-opposed position. Opposed Secondary This enables selection of a further two grip patterns with the thumb in the opposed position. These grips are activated by pressing the programme switch on the back of the hand. As with the primary grip patterns, the user can switch between the default and the alternate grip by applying the appropriate change signal. The user can return to the primary grip patterns by pressing the programme switch. Non-opposed Secondary Allows selection of the grip patterns as described for Opposed Secondary but with the thumb in the non-
opposed position. 43 Auto Grip This feature can be set to enabled or disabled. Note that Auto Grip functions in Tripod Grip only. Auto Grip is activated by providing three consecutive close signals. De-activation occurs when the hand is opened. Re-
activation is made again by three consecutive close signals. Save The hand can be configured and the settings sent to the hand without saving if you want to give them a try. If you wan to retain these settings for further amendment or back-up you need to click Save. Before the data is saved a patient identifier must be entered. There is a description field for recording specific information as necessary. When Auto Grip is active, the electronics monitors motor position for movement. If movement /slippage of an object is detected, the finger position/grip force is automatically altered to provide a more secure grip. Electronic monitoring of this process occurs every 50ms. Horizontal Buttons Reset If at any time you want to start again with your configuration, clicking Reset, resets all the controls to the default settings for the current mode. History Clicking History opens a list of saved configurations. By entering a patient identifier and clicking on the Find button you can filter the records to only show the relevent records. This feature enables the recovery of previous settings for re-sending to the hand or providing a base to work from. 44 Send to Hand With the radio dongle inserted and configured and the radio activated on the hand. It starts transmitting a stream of signals, which can be identified by the rapid flashing of the LED on the dongle. Clicking Send to Hand starts the transmission of the current configuration to the hand. On completion the message panel on the right will show success or in failure of the process. Radio This enables connection of the radio module should you forget to install the dongle before running the application. When the dongle is found the message box will RF Dongle Found highlighted in green. If not found the message box will show No RF Dongle highlighted in red. See section 8.1 for more information. Read from Hand This feature enables the current hand configuration to be read from the hand and stored in the history file. Following a read you are required to enter a patient identifier. This enables retrieval of the specific patient configuration, if desired. Quit This will close the configuration form and return to the main entry screen. 45 Vertical Buttons Electrodes Selecting Electrodes from the vertical button menu opens a form, shown second below. This allows electrode signals to be monitored, reviewed and adjusted. The sliders identified are for independently adjusting on-
threshold and maximum levels of the individual channels on the hand. With the signals displayed the electrode threshold and maximum levels can be adjusted with the relevant sliders, which reposition the blue and red horizontal lines in the associated display panels. The strength of the signal is displayed as a green vertical bar with the peak signal indicated as single green line. On closing the form the settings are retained for configuring the hand using the Send to Hand option. The embedded animation system enables modification of the threshold settings to be sampled without the need to keep sending data to the hand. These can then be sent to the hand once the user is comfortable with the settings. The animation system can also be used as a pure training aid without the need for a bebionic hand. However a training tower (XXXXXXX) and radio module
(XXXXXXX) will be required. To turn on, point & click on Proportional Animation or Threshold Animation as highlighted below. The off threshold is a predetermined offset from the on level. The on level (blue line) determines the level the electrode signal must reach before it is active. Once the signal reaches this level the hand operates until the signal drops below the predetermined off level. The maximum level (red line) sets the proportional range of the signal input. The animation shows Tripod Grip as the default which, will open and close in response to the electrode signals. By applying an OPEN OPEN signal within a definable period (default 1sec) the hand will change to / from a Power Grip. This system provides a useful myo assessment tool for the upper extremity amputee and also provides an entertaining aid for use, both pre and post prescription. 46 Co-Contraction Selecting Co-Contraction opens a form, shown below, to monitor and set the co-contraction signals. The black horizontal lines identify the co-contraction level and can be adjusted as necessary. The horizontal lines on the display area move simultaneously with the vertical slider. In Mode 5, co-contraction is used to move between default and alternate grip patterns. The blue horizontal lines show the on threshold level set during the myo configuration process and can be adjusted from this option if necessary. The horizontal slider highlighted above (centre left) can be used to set the co-contraction time window. A co-contraction signal is considered to exist when signals from both channel 1 and 2 pass through both the on threshold and co-contraction within a desig-
nated timeframe (co-contraction window). With the bebionic hand there is a 'soft' co-contraction option where the co-contraction threshold can be set lower than the on threshold level. Providing that the peak signal does not exceed the on-threshold, a co-contraction signal will be considered to exist. The slider items highlighted on the image above are used to set the required characteristics of co-contract signals. Clicking Start will initiate tracing of the electrode signal. One channel will be displayed with raising signals moving upward and the second channel raising signals moving downward. When the trace reaches the right hand side of the display it will stop. To continue click Clear, this will remove the previous trace and automatically start a new one. If you wish to stop the trace at any point, click Stop. The display period can be changed by selecting the appropriate time period (10, 20 or 30 seconds) from the display period drop down (top left). 47 5.9 Advanced Features In bebalance3 the basic features can be selected by simply clicking on the appropriate radio button or check box control. Adjustment of more specific features can be done by clicking Advanced. This opens an overlay form similar to the screen highlighted below. The features displayed will be appropriate to the mode selected. Grip Current It is possible to selet High, Medium or Low Grip Current. This setting provides adjustment of grip strength and battery consumption; the lower the setting the lower the grip and current draw. Note: This has minimal effect on operation speed. Speed Control Should you want to open or close the hand at less than maximum speed, the numeric up/down controls provide independent hand opening and closing speeds; 40
(default) being maximum. 48 Timer Control For modes 1, 2, 3 & 4 there are two numeric up/
down controls to change mode timings. The upper control Mode Change Period sets the window of time to search for a mode change signal. In these modes additional signals received will have have no effect and will be considered to be the same signal. The lower control Mode Return Period sets the period after which the mode reverts to default where there has been no activity. Setting the slider to zero deactivates the revert feature. For Mode 5 there is no upper control as mode change is activated by a co-contraction signal. Dwell Threshold (Upper & Lower) This feature is only used on Mode 1. The Upper control sets the time that the signal has to exist to be identified as a CLOSE signal. The Lower control sets the value for the period a signal has to be held once considered an OPEN signal. Signal Select & Increase on Threshold This feature offers Open & First protocols. The default is Open which means that the hand will move in response to receipt of the larger signal if both exceed the electrode on threshold. When the First option is selected, the hand will open on receipt of the first signal to exceed the threshold and remains with this signal even if a larger opposing signal is received. The exception to the First signal protocol is when an opposite signal exceeds the value of the controlling signal by the amount set on the Minimum Dwell Threshold control. If this happens the larger signal becomes the dominant signal. If multiple signals are received to open and close, the hand will continue to open unless the close signal exceeds the amount set on the Minimum Dwell Threshold control, which is a value above the standard electrode level. Dwell Threshold (Min & Max) This feature is only used on Mode 2. The minimum control sets the level that the signal has to exceed within a time set by the maximum control. Direction Change Timer This control is used in Mode 3 only. It is used to set the additional time window when a second signal will be accepted as an additional same direction movement. If set to zero, hand movement will alternate with the next detected signal. be confident 49 6.0 additional information, warranty, returns and repairs 50 There are a number of field repairs and replacement parts that are available for the bebionic3.
