COAPT/TASK A®
Prosthetist Manual
Introduction
The introduction of pattern recognition has proven benecial in controlling multiple degrees of freedom.
When combined with multi-digit hands, the functionality of the hand is further increased. Switching from one
grip pattern to the next results in natural, life-like uidity. The high-speed powered thumb rotation of the
TASKA hand combined with COAPT results in natural motion and performance never before seen in terminal
devices. This brief manual describes the settings and steps necessary to utilize COAPT Complete Control with
the TASKA hand for maximal function.
Special Precautions
In a transradial application there is a COAPT two-pin half moon plug that is identical to the battery plug.
Take care that this connection is plugged into the data connection. Do not plug power into the data
input of the TASKA hand. Damage to the TASKA hand microprocessor could result.
The TASKA hand Bluetooth®must be turned OFF. The blue light next to the Bluetooth® icon on the back
of the TASKA hand should not be illuminated.
TASKA Hand Buttons
When using COAPT, grip patterns are directed by COAPT, therefore the hand buttons are not useful to change
grip patterns. The buttons do remain active for functions such as turning on/o Bluetooth, turning on/o beeps,
and other functions. The lights are also still functional, such as low battery indicator and the warning light.
Connection Schematic
A wiring schematic is included with the COAPT components. This schematic will dier depending upon the
application. Pay careful attention as incorrect connections could result in the system not functioning or
damage to the TASKA hand or COAPT system.
TASKA HandCal Clinicial Settings
COAPT Complete Control automatically sets the User Interface settings. There is no need to connect to the
TASKA HandCal Clinician for initial set-up.
Wireless Connection for COAPT Complete Control Room (CCR)
When using the COAPT/TASKA combination you must ensure that Bluetooth® is turned OFF on the Taska hand.
Press and hold the Hand button (button select on dorsal hand) to turn o Bluetooth®. The blue light next to
the Bluetooth® icon will no longer be illuminated.
Connection to COAPT CCR
• Plug in COAPT Communicator dongle
• Power on, wait 10 seconds or until you hear second beep (coming from COAPT software)
Screens of COAPT CCR
Home Screen
• Conrm the Active Prole has TASKA in the title
• Select Left or Right side
Inputs Check
• Verify EMG Signals (see COAPT instructions)

Clinician Control
• Verify output to prosthesis
• Conrm digital communication
• Press and hold hand grips buttons within Clinician Control environment
• Are grips responding to your selections? If YES, you have digital control!
• If the hand is only closing . . . conrm that the COAPT pig tail is plugged into "A" channel of the 6 band
coax or wrist rotator
Troubleshooting
Several problems may occur and to remedy some, connection to the Taska User Interface may be necessary.
Refer to "Connection To TASKA HandCal" for correct connection.
Hand is only closing and/or Grip Patterns are not responding correctly
• One possible cause is reversed polarity. In this case, swap the A-B input cables either at the electrodes or wrist
inputs.
Hand only opens and closes, no grip patterns
• Ensure Bluetooth® is OFF
• Ensure the 2 pin half moon data cable is connected
• Ensure the coaxial plug has 6 bands
No Hand function
• Check battery connections
• Check battery charge level
Hand not behaving correctly
• If the TASKA hand warning light is illuminated or a digit isn’t functioning correctly, follow the instructions
below to connect to HandCal Clinician and perform Hand Diagonistics. Then contact Motion Control.
Connection to TASKA HandCal Clinician
NOTE: If you are making any changes within the TASKA software you must follow this sequence exactly prior to
powering the system back on: (FYI: the only changes that can be made, are Anti-Slip settings, Battery use – Economy
or Power, and the ability to run diagnostics)
1. Power ON (ensure COAPT radio is plugged in)
2. Start CCR (Verify TASKA)
3. Go to Clinician Controls
4. Toggle to SELECT VIRTUAL ARM
5. Turn on TASKA Bluetooth®
6. Leave COAPT CCR open
7. Start Taska software and make necessary changes
8. Save to hand and close Taska software
9. Turn o Bluetooth®
10. Close COAPT software
11. Power cycle prosthesis
*If you get chattering of the TASKA hand, turn Bluetooth® o and power cycle the prosthesis.
Calibration – Recalibrate control as needed
Practice – Develop functional control
