History
Clicking the ‘History’ button opens a list of saved
configurations for the user. By entering a patient identifier
and clicking the ‘Find’ button, the records can be filtered.
This feature enables the recovery of previous settings for
resending to the hand or providing a base template to work
from.
There are 6 default configurations to choose from. None of
these default configurations can be deleted.
Read from Hand
This feature enables the current configuration to be read
from the hand which can then be modified as required and
stored in a history file if necessary. Following a reading, the
patient identifier must be entered. This enables retrieval of
the specific patient configuration, if desired.
Send to Hand
When connected to a bebionic hand it can be updated
with the current configuration as set by the user. Whilst
updating, another window will appear showing the status
of the update. The hand will stay connected after the update
if another configuration is required or if the user wants to
verify or modify the settings.
Communications
This button gives us access to the communications form
for connecting to all hands for both Bluetooth and RF USB
dongles. When a connection is made, the communications
status box will turn green as shown below. See section 5.4.
To resolve any connection issues, please first refer to section
5.4.8 Troubleshooting for assistance.
5.6 Device Information
Once a hand has been connected, the ‘Device Information’
button becomes active. In this form, specific manufacturing
information is available that is required for diagnostic
purposes.
5.6.1 Device Information Sample Configuration
The example below shows a sample configuration read from
a bebionic small hand. This section provides information
that can be used by the customer services team to trace the
hand’s history and current status should a problem with the
hand occur.
If a problem with the hand does occur, please convey this
information to customer services for support.
5.6.2 External Control Activation
This feature allows the hand to be controlled by an external
device through the communications port on the hands
EQD. To activate the external control, a license key must be
procured from customer services and then entered in the
