Important CLINICAL NOTE & FEATURE about all body powered VO and VC
terminal devices
Body powered terminal devices develop control through the biomechanical
manipulation of body forces that are captured through a shoulder harness system
and transmitted through a cable to the terminal device. The function, operation, ease
of use and optimization of body power in a cable powered terminal device can be
improved by the addition of an "In-Line" cable modulation and cable locking system,
such as the Fillauer TRS SURE-LOK technology. Such technology allows the prosthetic
user to grasp objects then reduce or totally relieve tension on the cable system. This
function increases the range of object control motion available to the user and reduces
fatigue, while combatting the development of "over-use" syndrome.
JAWS have been tested with and are recommended for use with Fillauer TRS Omega
Wrists, and Fillauer LLC wrists that have a ½-20 internal thread. They may be used
with any equivalent ½-20 threaded wrist units; however, damage caused by other
manufacturers wrist units is not covered under warranty of this device.

Care and Maintenance

General:
Upper Extremity Terminal Devices-End Effectors:
Prosthetic devices should be used and treated as quality tools, regularly inspected
for damage, deterioration and or excessive wear. The devices are waterproof and or
highly water resistant and constructed of materials that will not rust or corrode or
are resistant to such exposure. They can be immersed in water and washed. If truly
mechanical they should be dried, as thoroughly as possible and light lubricants can
be applied to moving mechanical linkages as needed. Soap and water cleansing or
rinsing are recommended, especially after operation in environments with a lot of dirt,
dust, grit, oils or solvents. If used in ocean water, cleaning as soon as possible in fresh
water is highly recommended with all devices. Long term exposure in intense direct
sunlight or heat outside of normal use will damage prosthetic devices that incorporate
synthetic rubber in their construction or coverings.
