7.1.4 Battery management
Electronic battery management helps the patient maintain the function of individual prosthetic components as long
as possible as the battery charge level drops.
Level 1
The product and the connected prosthetic components
move with maximum speed and power.
Level 2
The flexion force becomes weaker, the product
“fatigues”. The functions of the connected prosthetic
components remain intact.
Level 3
The patient is informed of the low battery charge level
by a vibration signal and a sound sequence. The
product stops functioning. The elbow lock can be
released and locked manually. The functions of the con
nected prosthetic components remain intact.
Level 4
A sound sequence informs the patient that the battery is
empty. Now all other prosthetic components also cease
to function.
7.1.5 Charging plug
The charging plug is suitable for bilateral amputees. It is designed so it can be inserted into the charging recept
acle with a prosthetic hand or by mouth.
The following points must be observed when charging the battery:
