7.1  Usage, safety, warnings and precautions

The i-limb

®

 hand is intended to be used by individuals 

with upper limb loss or deficiency.

The i-limb

®

 hand should be serviced annually by touch 

bionics.

The hand serial number consists of a letter followed by 
four numbers. It is located proximal to the base of the 
thumb. For extra small hands or those with a flexion 
wrist, the hand serial number is located within the chas-
sis.

qualified Touch Bionics technician or technical partner.

Only approved Touch Bionics accessories and tooling 
may be used.

Do not use an i-limb

®

 device to operate your mobile 

device whilst the mobile device is connected to a mains 
outlet, as this can affect EMG signal.

Dispose of equipment in accordance with US, European 
or local regulations. Alternatively, it can be returned to 
touch bionics for disposal.

Batteries

Only touch bionics batteries should be used with this 
device.

Internal batteries must not be replaced by the end user. 

Batteries are to be replaced annually by service person-
nel.

Do not bend or exert excessive pressure on the battery.

Do not pierce the battery.

If the battery has visibly ballooned or swelled:

•  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
