Fillauer 1910085 MC ETD2 Second Generation Electric Terminal Device

Product Information

The MC ETD2 is a prosthetic device designed to provide functionality to individuals with upper extremity limb loss. It is the second generation of the Motion Control Electric Terminal Device (ETD). The device is robust, lightweight, and water-resistant.

Special Precautions

• Risk Management
  To minimize the risk of device damage or injury to the user while maximizing the functions of this device, follow the instructions for installation, and use this device as described in this manual.

• The MC ETD2 is water-resistant, not waterproof
  While the Motion Control ETD2 is water-resistant, the quick disconnect wrist is not. Do not submerse the ETD2 beyond the wrist.

• Flammable Gases
  Caution should be used when operating the ETD2 around flammable gases. The ETD2 utilizes an electric motor that can ignite volatile gases.

• Do not bend fingers
  While the MC ETD2 is robust, body weight represents a great deal of force. Do not apply full body weight on the fingers. A fall with the force directed to the fingers could cause damage. Additionally, when pushing forcefully with the ETD2 do not push on the open, moveable finger. Push only with the ETD2 in the closed position. This includes pushing up from a chair. If the fingers do become bent or out of alignment, return the ETD2 to Motion Control.

• Safety Release
  Do not force the ETD2 fingers opened or closed. This will result in serious damage to the device. The safety release will allow easy opening and closing of the ETD2. If the release mechanism does not allow motion, the device requires service by Motion  Control.

• Repairs or Alterations
  Do not attempt to repair or alter any of the mechanical or electronic components of the MC ETD2. This will likely cause damage, additional repairs and void the warranty.

• Setup Using the User Interface
  While the default settings in the MC ETD2 may allow the patient to operate the system, it is highly recommended the prosthetist utilize the User Interface to customize the settings for the wearer.

• Safety Caution
  Use caution when using this device in situations where injury to yourself or others may occur. These include, but are not limited to, activities such as driving, operating heavy machinery, or any activity where injury may occur. Conditions such as a low or dead battery, loss of electrode contact, or mechanical/electrical malfunction (and others) may cause the device to behave differently than expected.

• Serious Incidents
  In the unlikely event a serious incident occurs in relation to the use of the device, users should seek immediate medical help and contact their prosthetist at the earliest possible convenience. Clinicians should contact Motion Control immediately in the event of any device failure.

Power Switch

The power switch is located at the base of the ETD2. Pushing from the side opposite the fingertips turns the ETD2 ON, and pushing from the fingertip side turns it OFF.

Safety Release

On a Left ETD2, the safety release is located on the same side as the fingertips. On a Right ETD2, it is located on the side opposite the fingertips. To engage the fingers, ensure the safety release lever points toward the fingertips. To release the fingers, rotate the lever 90 degrees, toward the moveable finger.
For more detailed information and instructions, refer to the MC ETD2 Prosthetist Manual.

Introduction

The Motion Control ETD2 marks the second generation of the Motion Control Electric Terminal Device. Continuing the features of the original ETD, the ETD2 is robust, lightweight, and water-resistant, to provide a high level of functionality to persons with upper extremity limb loss.
The ETD2 is manufactured with metal inserts in the fingers, over molded with plastic for strength and durability. The result is a sleek, aesthetically integrated form. The Gripping Pads can be quickly and easily replaced. The safety release allows the fingers to be opened in case of emergency.
At 1⅛ inches (3 cm) shorter than the original ETD, the ETD2 more closely matches the length of most prosthetic hands on the market. The shorter length also allows the use of the ETD2 with patients who have longer residual limbs, and provides greater versatility in using the Motion Control Flexion or Multi- Flex wrists.
The ETD2 is a member of the ProPlus Family of Motion Control devices. The ProPlus on-board microprocessor makes the ETD2 interchangeable with almost all other hands and terminal devices. Additionally, the on-board microprocessor allows use of a brushless DC motor which makes the device quieter and more dependable.
Bluetooth® provides convenient communication between the ETD2 and an iPhone®, iPad® or iPod® Touch. This allows quick and easy connection and adjustment of the device. The patient is also able to connect via their iPhone®, iPad® or iPod® Touch and make a limited number of appropriate adjustments. FLAG, Force Limiting Auto-Grasp, is available as an optional feature.

Quick Disconnect Wrist

The Quick Disconnect wrist is a universal design that allows interchangeability with our other terminal devices, such as the MC ProPlus Hand, and other manufacturers’ devices.

Instructions for Use

Before attaching the MC ETD2 to the forearm, locate the power switch at the base of the ETD2. Ensure it is switched OFF (see diagram, page 3).
Insert the quick disconnect wrist on the ETD2 into the wrist on the forearm. While pushing it in firmly, rotate the ETD2 until an audible click is heard. It is advisable to rotate the ETD2 both directions several clicks, then attempt to pull the ETD2 off to ensure it has attached firmly.
Now, push the power switch in the opposite direction and the ETD2 is ON and ready for use.
To disconnect the ETD2, first turn it OFF, then rotate it either direction until a slightly more difficult click is felt. Overcoming this click will disconnect the ETD2 from the forearm. This allows interchangeability with another terminal device, such as the MC ProPlus Hand.

User Interface Adjustments

Each of the ProPlus family of Motion Control products contains a microprocessor that can be adjusted and set for a specific individual’s needs. Wearers without EMG signals can also be accommodated, but some additional hardware may be necessary. The software necessary to make these adjustments is provided at no charge to the prosthetist or end user.
Motion Control 5.3.1
Motion Control 5.3.1 is the Windows-based version of the User Interface which is available for download at:
http://www.utaharm.com/files/wl/?id=c&filename=UserInterfaceInstallation.exe.
Either a hard-wired USB cable (P/N 5010075) or Bluetooth® Firefly (P/N 5010037) is required to connect the MC ProPlus Hand to the Windows PC. The ProPlus Adapter T-Cable (P/N 3010444) may be necessary in some applications.
Motion Control 5.3.1 instructions can be found at:
http://www.utaharm.com/files/wl/?id=f&filename=1910010-QUICK-SET-UP-GUIDE- for-ProPlus-ProWrist- ProControl2-10-09-2019EN.pdf.
Note: Adjustments for the optional FLAG feature (discussed later) are not available in the Windows version of the User Interface.

iOS User Interface

The MC ETD2 communicates via Bluetooth® directly with Apple® iOS devices. The MCUI app is available at no charge from the Apple® App Store. No additional hardware or adapters are necessary with the iOS Interface.
Instructions for loading the MCUI application onto your Apple® device, and pairing the device using Bluetooth®, can be found on page 8.
The first time the application is opened, a tutorial is offered. This overview will take 10 to 15 minutes and is recommended. Additionally, located throughout the application is a context-sensitive information icon. Tapping this icon will briefly explain the function of that adjustment.
Note: The MCUI app is not available for Android devices.

Patient/Prosthetist Controls

Upon opening the iOS Application, the user responds as “Patient” or “Prosthetist”. If “Patient” is chosen, many
of the adjustments are grayed out. EMG Signals are visible for training purposes. Several adjustments such as buzzers, some FLAG adjustments, and Auto-Cal are accessible to the wearer. Familiarize your patients with these adjustments.
If “Prosthetist” is chosen, a code is requested (located on page 8 with iOS instructions). This allows access to all the adjustments of the device.
User Profiles
User Profiles can be saved on your Apple® device. It is advisable to save the settings not only on the prosthetist’s device as a part of the wearer record, but also on the wearer’s Apple® device so they can reset their ETD2 if the settings are lost.
Auto-Cal
Auto-Cal is a useful feature in every ProPlus device. By triggering an “Auto-Cal event” via the iOS User Interface, the wearer can readjust the gain settings throughout the day. Auto-Cal does have limitations:
Auto-Cal is only available in Dual Channel control
Auto-Cal automatically sets Control Type to First Over
Thresholds are automatically set at 21% (adjustable by the prosthetist)
Auto-Cal will automatically save the previous settings and ask the wearer if they would like to return to those settings. Performing multiple Auto-Cal events will delete custom settings. Wearers should be advised to not Auto-Cal if you have customized the settings.

FLAG (Optional)

FLAG (Force Limiting, Auto Grasp) is an optional feature for the MC ProPlus Hand, ETD and ETD2 terminal devices.
FLAG provides two functions:

• Force Limiting, to prevent crushing objects due to excessive pinch force
• Auto Grasp, which slightly increases the grip on an object if an inadvertent open signal is detected by the controller

Turn FLAG On/Off

Upon power up, FLAG is turned off. The TD should be closed, then opened, before using FLAG. To turn FLAG on, give the device a “Hold Open” signal (for ~ 3 sec.). When FLAG turns on, the wearer will feel one long vibration. A “Hold Open” signal (for ~ 3 sec.) will turn FLAG off, and two short vibrations will be felt by the wearer.
Note: If a series of 5 vibrations is felt upon a “Hold Open”, it could indicate a malfunction in the FLAG sensor. Turn the device off, and back on, then completely open and completely close the device. Retry the “Hold Open” signal to activate FLAG. If 5 vibrations are felt again, the device will still function but FLAG will be disabled. The device must be returned to Motion Control for the FLAG sensor to be repaired.

Dual Channel FLAG

Force Limiting

1. With FLAG on, closing is still proportional, with maximum speed lowered by 50%**.
2. On closing, when the fingers contact an object, force will be limited to ~ 2 lbs/9N of grip force – then the wearer feels one short vibration.
3. To increase force, the wearer relaxes below threshold, followed by a strong close signal for a short effort and the grip force “pulses” up.
4. Grip force can be pulsed up to 10 times to a maximum of ~ 18 lbs/80N of pinch force**.
5. An open signal will open the terminal device proportionally.

Auto Grasp
With FLAG on, a quick, inadvertent opening signal will result in a single “pulse” increase in grip force to prevent dropping an object.**

Single Channel FLAG

With Single Channel Control, FLAG is best used in Alternating Direction Control Mode.
Force Limiting

1. With FLAG on, the terminal device will close at approximately 50% speed**, proportionally.
2. When the device contacts an object, force will be limited to ~ 2 lbs/9N.
3. A quick and strong signal above the threshold, then relaxation below the threshold, will create one pulse in the force.
4. This can be repeated up to 10 times for ~ 18 lbs/80N of pinch force.
5. A sustained signal of about 1 second will open the terminal device.

Auto Grasp
With FLAG on, any quick, inadvertent signal will result in the terminal device closing, preventing the object from being dropped.
