Fillauer MC Waterproof Collar for Quick Disconnect Wrist
Introduction
When used with the MC Forearm Endcap, the MC Waterproof Collar for Quick
Disconnect Wrist (WQD) provides a seamless waterproof interface between an ETD
or ETD2 and the forearm. This creates a waterproof system to the first opening
in the forearm. The wrist functions as a standard quick disconnect for easy
changing of terminal devices. This allows the user to switch between a
waterproof ETD/ETD2 and a non-waterproof hand for an evening on the town. The
WQD is compatible with not only the MC passive wrist rotation Forearm Endcap
but also Motion Control electric wrist rotators.
The WQD consists of two components which provide the waterproof seal. The
waterproof Forearm Endcap and the waterproof terminal device (TD) collar. The
endcap must be the new MC style for waterproof sealing (manufactured since
09/18/2019). These components together facilitate submersion of the prosthesis
up to the first opening in the socket (data port, power switch, trimlines,
etc.). The WQD is installed on the terminal device (TD) quick disconnect by
Motion Control to ensure waterproof sealing of the device.
Special Precautions
-
The WQD requires periodic maintenance
Failure to maintain the device, may likely cause wear, water leakage and damage. Damage caused by lack of maintenance is not covered by warranty. -
Compatibility
A TD with the Waterproof Collar for Quick Disconnet Wrist is not compatible with MC Endcaps manufactured before 09/18/2019. They are also not compatible with Otto Bock forearm wrist components. -
The Waterproof Collar is not serviceable
Do not remove the waterproof collar from the Terminal Device. If it is damaged, it must be returned to Motion Control for repair and testing. -
Contamination
Dust, dirt, grit and contaminates will damage the O-ring seal. When installing a TD with the waterproof collar, a tissue, handkerchief or Q-tip should be used to clean the mating surface of the endcap. -
Organic Solvents
Organic solvents will damage the O-ring and plastic components of quick disconnect and endcap.
Do not submerse either the TD or wrist in solvents or caustic chemicals. -
Waterproof Collar Protection
The waterproof collar protects the quick disconnect wrist. The components inside the forearm, e.g. batteries, electrodes, electric wrist rotator etc are not protected from ingress of water from the socket or forearm. This includes perspiration from the socket and/or pull tube. -
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
Installation of the MC Foream Endcap
The newly designed MC Forearm Endcap is almost identical to the previous
endcap. The endcap must be used in conjunction with the lamination collar. The
lamination collar must be laminated in, not glued. Also, use the lamination
dummy kit (part number 3010886) when fabricating the forearm.
The O-ring that provides the seal between the lamination collar and the endcap
requires a very snug fit to ensure a waterproof seal. Installing a terminal
device onto the endcap aids installation of the endcap and eases alignment of
the screw holes. When installing the screws, pay special attention to the
screw O-rings. Kinked, torn, missing or otherwise damaged O-rings will cause
the unit to leak. Start all 5 screws, then progressively tighten each one for
correct alignment. Purchased separately
Installation of Waterproof Collar
The waterproof collar is installed at Motion Control, and tested to ensure it is waterproof. It is not fieldserviceable.
Maintenance Schedule for WQD
- The MC Waterproof Collar for Quick Disconnect Wrist works by creating a seal between the endcap of the forearm and the WQD collar on the terminal device (TD).
- These two surfaces rotate on each other. As such, it is important to lubricate and preserve the sealing surfaces of the collar and endcap.
- Dirt, grit, lint and other contaminates should be cleaned from the endcap before installing a terminal device with a waterproof collar. This is accomplished by simply wiping the surface with a tissue, soft cloth or Q-tip.
- Visually inspect the endcap sealing surface to ensure there are no dings or scratches that might prevent the proper functioning of the seal. If the sealing surface is damaged, please contact Motion Control.
- Every 3 months, apply Super Lube (supplied) to the O-ring inside the waterproof collar. To grease the O-ring, place some Super Lube on a cotton tip applicator.
- Then move the greased end of the applicator around the inside diameter of the aluminum ring. If noise develops, squeaking, grinding or rubbing sounds, at any time when rotating the wrist, remove the TD from the forearm, clean the collar and the endcap with a Q-tip and rubbing alcohol and reapply Super Lube. If the noise does not subside, consider the wrist no longer waterproof and return it to Motion Control for servicing as soon as possible.
