1.2 MYHAND SERVICE CHECK LIST 2. HY5 PROSTHESIS & THIRD PARTY
COMPONENTS
The third party components that the Hy5 hand needs in order
to work includes;
• Socket
• 5A battery
• 2 myo sensors.
Hy5 is connected to the socket with the quick disconnect. A Hy5
prosthesis glove size 7 ¾ shall be used on the hand at all time.
A complete User Manual is delivered with Hy5.
CAUTION!
CAUTION!
2.1 Electrodes/Myo sensors
Hy5 needs 2 myo sensors to operate.
When the Hy5 hand is connected to the socket, the user shall
operate the hand for a few minutes to clarify whether the myo
sensors need sensitivity adjustments. The feedback from the
user allow for optimizing the myosensors to the users’ personal
preferences.
When the sensors are optimized to the user, the user shall be giv-
en some more minutes to operate and get familiar with the new
hand. Hy5 is ready for use.
The battery is located inside the socket, and is not delivered by
Hy5Pro AS.
2.2 Batteries
Only a 5A battery should be used with
MyHand. Use of other battery systems will
result in poor performance of MyHand.
The following checks can be made to identify if the hand needs to
be returned to Hy5Pro AS for maintenance:
1. Check the hand turns on/off reliably.
2. Check hand closing time < 1,5s.
How: Use video camera to time several closing sequences,
from fully open to point of rst contact
3. Check hand switches to high power mode
How: Use battery pack to perform pinch grip around your
open hand. If the pinch force becomes uncomfortable, this is
a clear indication that high power mode is functional. Stop
gripping before the hand exhibits excessive force
4. Check for any signs of oil leaks
How: Examine closely for oil in the following locations:
— Around oil-lling screws
— Around edge of mounting frame
— Around emergency release switch
— Around edge of quick disconnect
— Around cylinder rods
5. Check for any visible signs of damage
How: Check all around the hand for any signs of broken or
deformed components
6. Check ngers move freely
How: Rotate each nger joint individually. Each joint should
spring back under spring-force, and there should be no rub-
bing or grinding in the joint
7. Check emergency valve functions as intended – both open
and close
How: Close hand using battery pack. Open emergency re-
lease switch – ngers should open. Close emergency release
switch, and close hand again.
8. Check quick disconnect connects/disconnects in a reliable
manner
How: Use battery pack to check reliable connect/disconnect.
Hand should not switch off when quick connect is rotated and
hand is on
If the hand fails on any of these points, it should be returned for
maintenance.

3. THE PROSTHETIC GLOVE
MyHand shall always be used with a MySkin glove. Use only size 7
¾, and ensure that the glove is tted properly.
3.1 Fitting
1. Invert the glove to the level of the nger openings.
2. Ensure the ngers are straight.
3. Align the covering nger holes with the digits of the hand.
4. Pull down onto digits of the hand.
5. Position thumb opening over thumb digit
6. Pull the glove over the remainings of the MyHand.
7. Inspect the glove ensuring the nger tips are fully tted
against the digit tips.
8. Check that the MyHand functions are in place. Open and
close the hand.
4. CONNECTIONS AND COMPATIBILITY
There is currently one wrist option for MyHand. The electric
Quick Disconnect (QDC) allows the hand to be attached with a
45-degree rotation, and to be quickly removed with a 360-degree
rotating action.
5. DISPOSAL
When disposing of MyHand, please return it to Hy5Pro AS.
If problems continue please contact
your local supplier or Hy5Pro AS,

2.4 Replacement of Finger Pads
The partial nger pads for thumb, index –and middle ngers, can
easily be replaced. First remove the glove. Then put two ngers
around the pad and pull in a straight direction with the nger.
The pad will slide off smoothly. New pads can be pushed on in a
straight direction until they stop.
