Technical Manual THE NEXUS HAND

COVVI was founded in 2017 by a passionate and experienced team who wanted to

continue to create leading prosthetic designs. The human hand is amazing and the level of functionality which can be restored through prosthetics has historically been very low; but as engineers and designers we see this as a challenge to continuously improve our designs to meet the needs of users. COVVI started with a blank sheet of paper and a mission to address some of the most prevalent deficiencies of current prosthetic hands. Fast forward to present day and we now have the fastest, strongest, and best-looking prosthetic hand in the market. The COVVI Team

www.covvi.com | Unit 4, Quayside Business Park, Leeds, LS10 1DJ | 020 3949 9500 1.0 Introduction Our name was formulated to reflect our single driving intention to change multiple lives together forever through harnessing endless connections to make anything possible. With our name came our ‘delta’ logo, which also has meaningful origins as a symbol of change and doing things differently. 1.1 What Defines Us? COVVI is a portmanteau of the Latin ‘Coperor’ and ‘Vita’, translating as ‘working together’ and ‘life’. 1.2 The Path to the Nexus Hand The Nexus Hand was born from a genuine passion for prosthetics and helping others. Through 10 years of working in the industry alongside clinicians and listening to users we have developed a sincere appreciation for how difficult prosthetics are to use and how poor devices do not address or resolve this. After the initial excitement of a new device, these frustrations frequently result in the prosthetic device being rejected, which we see as a personal failure. In today’s world there are so many products and designs that we simply do not need, yet in the field of prosthetics so much is still to be done. As a team we could not envisage more rewarding work than developing a cutting-edge prosthetic hand that overcomes as many of these issues as possible, so we made it our absolute mission to do so. We truly want to reduce the restrictions and limitations prosthetic users face every day. We designed the Nexus Hand with your patient in the forefront of our minds and we want it to be an invaluable tool in their life. Our two main goals were to make it functional and robust and we are confident it not only enables the easy performance of daily tasks but can withstand anything life throws at it! We always aim to develop desirable products, which is why we use only the best materials and pride ourselves on our unrivalled industrial design. After years of hard work, drive, and passion it makes us immensely proud to see our design working as intended and actively simplifying people’s lives.

At COVVI, we started with the small Nexus Hand and built bigger. This ensured we did not compromise on any functionality across the size range where in the past engineers had always started big and tried to shrink their design down, which was challenging to do without losing some of the hand’s function. We are extremely proud of our compact design and cannot wait to see your patient bring it to life! Note: This infographic below should only be used as a guide.

We tirelessly reviewed current technology and always came back to the same conclusion: there is a big compromise between looks and function when it comes to a hand cosmesis. High-definition cosmetic gloves look very lifelike, but they are extremely expensive and limit hand dexterity. As the gloves get thinner, the function improves, but the realism decreases, ultimately negating the purpose of a cosmetic glove. With the Nexus Hand we went down a radical route to design something that users can customise in a way that speaks to their personality. Something that is undeniably them. We designed the Nexus Hand based on measured data collated from human hands to give it a more anatomically proportionate and natural form with novel colours and materials to create a concept that users will be proud to wear. We offer a black glove with four striking cover colours for them to choose from: Rose Gold Carbon Black Grey Titan White

www.covvi.com | Unit 4, Quayside Business Park, Leeds, LS10 1DJ | 020 3949 9500 6.1 Abuse & Neglect We designed the Nexus Hand to be robust, but it still cannot withstand intentional abuse. The Nexus Hand cannot sustain excessive impacts or excessive water damage. 6.3 Harsh Chemicals/Abrasives The Nexus Hand is made up of a variety of materials which may be vulnerable to damage by various chemicals, such as solvents, acids, alkalis, corrosive substances, detergents, and similar chemicals. Please avoid exposing the Nexus Hand to any harsh chemicals that may cause damage. If your patient chooses to clean their Nexus Hand, please ensure they use mild soap and water. Abrasive cleaners and cleaning cloths will scratch the cover. 6.2 IP44 The Nexus Hand has been tested and certified with IP44 rating, which classifies the degree of protection that is provided against solids and water. The Nexus Hand is protected against solid objects over 1 mm in diameter and is also protected against sprays or splashes from all directions. The wrist interface is not IP44 water or dust resistant as it is highly dependent on the individual socket build. The wrist area on the hand should be kept dry at all times. 6.0 Safety Guidelines

The Nexus Hand combines an extraordinary level of functionality with a captivating design to offer you the best prosthetic hand on the market. 8.1 Passively Flexing Fingers and Thumb From our previous design, we saw how popular the passively flexing fingers were for a prosthetic hand as they played an important role in protecting the expensive actuators. So, we decided to take this one step further and applied it to the thumb. We designed all the digits to be durable by manufacturing them from a combination of stainless steel and aluminium and the spring-loaded feature provides great impact protection as they all fold out of the way reducing the likelihood of damage and repairs.

00 | Page 27

www.covvi.com | Unit 4, Quayside Business Park, Leeds, LS10 1DJ | 020 3949 9500 8.0 Why Nexus? 8.2 Integrated Flex Wrist Every Nexus Hand comes with an integrated flex wrist which has been a market favourite. By being spring-loaded it makes the wrist faster and more instinctive for the user to use as they do not have to think about moving it, the wrist will move with them. This combined with the passively flexing fingers creates a more natural embodiment of the Nexus Hand as it is not rigid but rather provides organic movements. Another great benefit is that when using the wrist in flex state, if the user were to fall, trip or accidentally knock into something, it is less likely there will be catastrophic damage to the hand as it flexes out of the way. It is also the lowest profile flex wrist on the market with the mechanism incorporated into the hand chassis adding no additional build height. This has been great for those users with a long residual limb as it does not affect symmetry with their sound side. It features a passive spring flex with a single locking button mechanism to lock the wrist into one of three positions: 30° flexion, 30° extension or neutral. This is very useful for users as it reduces shoulder compensation when performing certain tasks such as eating, driving, or using a computer. The flexion position is ideal for when eating, the extension position is ideal for when using a computer while the neutral position provides a stable platform for heavy lifting. 0° Neutral -30° Extension 30° Flexion

www.covvi.com | Unit 4, Quayside Business Park, Leeds, LS10 1DJ | 020 3949 9500 8.0 Why Nexus? As more functions have been added to prosthetic hands, the more complicated using them has become. An apparent problem arose which was the time it was taking users to access all these new functions with the two main grip switch triggers available. Therefore, we designed our thumb to give users a quick, intuitive, and novel way to change grips via our smart switching option. It works by tapping the side of the thumb which activates the powered rotation and will swing the thumb between opposed and non-opposed positions and can be assigned to whichever action the user would like. We have seen this be incredibly valuable to bilateral users who can simply tap the thumb on the side of their leg, or a hard surface and it will give them fast access to all the grips. 8.4 Water and Dust Resistant (IP44) The Nexus Hand has an integrated medical grade silicone glove with a soft touch coating. This provides the hand with IP44 rated dust and water resistance, giving users that extra protection whilst going about their daily life. We made sure the glove is as durable as possible with thicker integrated fingertips to reduce wear and tear and customisable polycarbonate covers to provide another layer of protection. These covers are painted on the inside for increased durability and make the hand much easier to clean. We believe the combination of the glove and covers gives a look that stands out from the crowd, and the best part; both are easily replaceable in clinic and inexpensive to do so. 8.3 Intuitive Thumb Control/Smart Switching

00 | Page 29

www.covvi.com | Unit 4, Quayside Business Park, Leeds, LS10 1DJ | 020 3949 9500 8.0 Why Nexus? Several prosthetic hands are still not touch screen compatible and in some cases a wand is needed to type on a normal keyboard. Thinking of how prosthetics need to respond to modern day life, we designed the Nexus Hand to be compatible with these new technologies. 8.6 Remote Firmware Updates 8.7 Various Grip Switch Triggers To keep the Nexus Hand up to date with the latest features, we are periodically providing new firmware updates. We are the first company in the industry to offer remote firmware updates. We know this is somebody’s hand and a day without it is a massive inconvenience. Our technology now allows users to update their Nexus Hand from the comfort of their home. The Nexus Hand has numerous switching options to give users fast access to a multitude of grips. There is no need for external Bluetooth, accelerometers, or RFID triggers. To change grips or tables users can assign an open/open, long hold open or co-contraction signal, use the dorsal button, the force sensitive resistors in the fingertips and the pronate/supinate thumb tap. We have 14 available grips to help users go about their daily life. 8.5 The Index Fingertip is Touch Screen Compatible

www.covvi.com | Unit 4, Quayside Business Park, Leeds, LS10 1DJ | 020 3949 9500 9.1 Opposed Grips Trigger Grip This grip is for the use of trigger operated objects such as hairdryers, spray bottles, a power drill or electronic garden tools. When a close signal is sent fingers 2, 3 and 4 will close around an object followed by the thumb to maintain it steady. If the close signal is maintained the index finger will then flex activating the trigger. Power Grip In response to a close signal all four fingers flex towards the palm around an object with the thumb completing the grip by locking over fingers 1 and 2. This is a stable grip for when holding heavier items, but it is also great for daily and manual tasks such as carrying bags, pushing a shopping trolley, or mowing the lawn. 9.0 Grip Patterns Precision Grip (Open & Close) These two grips use the thumb and index finger to give a reliable and fast method of picking up, holding, and using small objects with precision which aids the user as it does not require simultaneous movement of the arm and the fingers. In precision open the thumb moves to a known resting position and the index finger comes to meet the tip of the thumb. The rest of the fingers remain extended allowing the user to get the hand close to the object. In precision closed, fingers 2, 3 and 4 close first, the thumb moves to the known resting position and then the index finger meets the tip of the thumb. This grip is designed to offer the user better visibility of the object they are picking up.

www.covvi.com | Unit 4, Quayside Business Park, Leeds, LS10 1DJ | 020 3949 9500 Glove Grip This grip is to aid dressing and undressing as it helps the hand slide through sleeves without catching. The fingers flex slightly and the thumb flexes in towards the palm to put the hand in the slimmest position possible. 9.0 Grip Patterns Rock Grip This grip is not a functional grip. The index and little finger remain extended, while the middle two fingers flex in towards the palm with the thumb closing over them to give the rock gesture. Tripod Grip This grip uses the thumb and first two fingers to hold objects. The thumb and four fingers move simultaneously, but if uninterrupted, fingers 3 and 4 will flex in towards the palm and fingers 1 and 2 will clamp against the tip of the thumb. Active finger tracking ensures a reliable and stable grip.

www.covvi.com | Unit 4, Quayside Business Park, Leeds, LS10 1DJ | 020 3949 9500 Key/Card Grip This grip is ideal for holding thin objects like keys, credit cards or paper, but it can also be used in domestic tasks such as carrying plates or holding a knife. In response to a close signal all four fingers partially flex and the thumb closes to meet the distal section of the index finger. Finger Point Grip This grip enables the user to press buttons, ring a doorbell, use a smartphone, or point out directions. Fingers 2, 3 and 4 flex in towards the palm, the thumb closes to a fully flexed position and the index finger remains extended. Tap Grip This grip is very similar to the finger point grip but has the additional function of an active button press. When the close signal is maintained the index finger partially flexes and when the signal is released the index finger extends. This allows the user to keep the wrist static and press a button. 9.2 Non-opposed Grips 9.0 Grip Patterns

www.covvi.com | Unit 4, Quayside Business Park, Leeds, LS10 1DJ | 020 3949 9500 Mouse Grip This grip is specifically designed for using a mouse. When a close signal is received the thumb and little finger move simultaneously to hold the mouse. Reapplying the close signal will partially flex the index finger to tap the mouse and releasing the close signal will extend the index finger again. Only applying an open signal will fully open the hand again. Relaxed Grip This grip provides a natural resting position for when the hand is not in use. The hand is open, but the fingers and thumb are slightly flexed. Phone Grip This grip is not a functional grip. It is to imitate holding a phone. The thumb and little finger remain extended, and the rest of the fingers flex in towards the palm. Column Grip This grip is ideal for a variety of tasks such as pressing buttons, calling lifts, or turning light switches on and off. When a close signal is sent, the thumb flexes to a fully closed position, then all four fingers close simultaneously over the thumb. 9.0 Grip Patterns

It has a spring-loaded rocker switch which can be used as a grip switch trigger designed to give users fast access to a multitude of grips. In the default setup, Table A starts with opposed grips and Table B starts with non-opposed grips and the thumb pronate/supinate grip switch triggers are for next table and previous table, respectively. However, the thumb can be mapped to any function depending on user preference. The thumb has two open parked positions, opposed and non-opposed. If the thumb is in a non-opposed position and thumb tap pronate is mapped to next grip and the next grip is opposed, the powered rotation will rotate the thumb into an opposed position. The thumb can also be manually rotated. The rocker switch additionally has an impact protection feature, if the user were to fall with the hand in an opposed position, the impact will trigger the rocker switch and move the thumb into a non-opposed position to prevent as much damage as possible. 10.0 The Nexus Thumb Central Axis 7.5° 7.5°

We feel the new COVVI Power Supply addresses a number of these issues. We have designed the system around a very compact in-arm Control Panel which includes a USB-C charge socket, on/off button, and a screen to provide accurate power levels. We have coupled this with some extremely slim batteries which fit within the socket avoiding visible lumps on the outer socket. Existing flexible battery systems on the market rely on physically bending the lithium cell, this limits the angle of flex/bend but also affects the amount of charge the battery can hold. Our batteries circumvent this issue as the construction has two solid battery sections linked with a flexible web, delivering 1600mAh. This means the battery can be folded in half without affecting the performance. We kept the weight as low as possible, our system only uses the two batteries which connect directly to the Control Panel without the need for an internal connecter. With a system weight of 84 grams, we have market leading power density which will keep the user powered up all day, but if they do find themselves running short on power, they have the convenience of USB-C charging on the go. For users who need more power and have the room available in their socket, we are offering a high-capacity version which is based on 2 cylindrical cells delivering 2600mAh with a system weight of 130 grams. This system is ideal for users who have a short residual limb. The low weight version of the Power Supply is 1 battery with 4 individual cells joined by a web which allows the system to follow the contours of the inside surface of the prosthetic socket. This system is ideal for users with a long residual limb. Once fitted in a limb, the COVVI power supply is splash resistant and is tested to IP44. If there is water in the USB-C port, please fully dry this out before attempting to charge. 11.1 Contents

We would recommend the Control Panel is placed on the upper side of the prosthetic socket for ease of use, but also away from any area which may be loadbearing when carrying heavy items. The batteries are flexible and are designed to conveniently fit between the inner and outer socket wall and retained in place with the Velcro provided. Lamination dummies are also provided if recesses are required in the outer socket wall. The dimensions of the Control Panel are approximately: 45mm x 20mm x 12mm / 1.77” x 0.8” x 0.47” Control Panel Aperture The Control Panel can be inserted into an aperture created in your patient’s prosthetic socket. We have provided a cutting template in the Power Supply Kit for you to follow. Apply the cutting template to the top side of the prosthetic socket then carefully cut along the highlighted red outline with a cutting disc. File down any sharp edges.

The system should only be used with COVVI batteries and the wall charger provided. Using generic USB-C cables may affect the ability to charge or charge times. Any modification to the COVVI Power Supply can cause injury or death. WARNING: Use of accessories, transducers, and cables other than those specified or provided by COVVI Ltd. could result in increased electromagnetic emissions or decreased electromagnetic immunity of the COVVI Power Supply and result in improper operation. 11.11 Battery Replacement As with all batteries the capacity will degrade overtime, we expect this to become noticeable after 12 months of use. The COVVI Power Supply will support 300 charge and discharge cycles. After this, the time it takes to fully flatten the batteries will become shorter. Replacement cells are available for the COVVI Power Supply, but both batteries must be changed at the same time. There are two versions of spare batteries depending on which version of the Power Supply you ordered. It is imperative that you replace the cells with those of the same capacity, COVSB-1600 is only compatible with the 1600mAh Power Supply and COVSB-2600 is only compatible with the 2600mAh Power Supply. Deplete the old batteries until flat and the limb no longer moves. Then disassemble the limb and replace the cells. Reassemble the limb, connect the batteries to the USB-C charger and allow them to fully charge. If this initial charge is not conducted properly it can negatively affect how the system calculates the remaining charge. Check your local waste regulations to safely dispose of your old batteries.

The Control Panel can be wiped clean using a damp soft cloth and left to dry. Do not use any solvents or abrasives as they may damage the paint finish, the clarity of the screen aperture or integrity of the silicone moulding. To ensure correct function it is important to inspect the Control Panel carefully and ensure that the USB-C port is free of debris. If debris is discovered please carefully remove this with a thin, but non-metallic object to ensure the port is not damaged. Do not expose the Control Panel or batteries to excessive heat or naked flames as this can cause damage to both the screen and the batteries ability to hold a charge. The COVVI Power Supply is IP44 rated and so will withstand contact with water but should not be submerged in water. If liquid is visible in the screen aperture, please stop using the system and it to your supplier.

www.covvi.com | Unit 4, Quayside Business Park, Leeds, LS10 1DJ | 020 3949 9500 The COVVI Go App has been designed to facilitate you and your patient when configuring their Nexus Hand for the first time. Our primary objective was for it to be easy to use and follow. If your patient is an experienced user, the Nexus Hand has a default setup combining the functionality of other prosthetic devices on the market for efficient interchangeability. If your patient is a new user, as they become more familiar and confident with their Nexus Hand, they can test out different setups and make any changes in the App to best suit their daily activities and lifestyle. This manual will cover ‘version 1.1.x’ of the COVVI Go App. All updates will be available through the Apple App Store and Google Play Store. COVVI Go is compatible with Apple devices running iOS v12.0 and Android devices running Android v8.0. 13.1 COVVI Go 13.0 COVVI Go App

00 | Page 59

www.covvi.com | Unit 4, Quayside Business Park, Leeds, LS10 1DJ | 020 3949 9500 Basic user functionality is available without having to register. This allows users to view the settings, update the firmware and report bugs. To change settings on a Nexus Hand you need an approved account. New accounts are created on an invite-only basis. You can request access from your supplier who is responsible for approving you. When the App has been downloaded and installed, the icon will appear on the mobile device’s home screen. Select the icon to run the App. The ‘Hand Selection’ screen will show. 13.3 Hand Selection The Nexus Hand communicates with the mobile device via Bluetooth. Bluetooth will need to be enabled on both the Nexus Hand and the mobile device before scanning can begin. If Bluetooth is disabled on the mobile device, the App will notify you. When the Nexus Hand is turned on Bluetooth will be enabled for 60 seconds and then turn off to save battery life. To reactivate Bluetooth, you will need to turn the hand on and off again. If you experience connectivity issues you can reset the Bluetooth communication by erasing the data in the BLE module and resetting it. This will set the communication channel back to default and fix all damaged connections. Press and hold the dorsal button for 10 seconds until you feel a vibration and hear the beep sound. The E-Paper screen will display ‘RESET?’. Press the dorsal button for a further two seconds to clear the memory and reset the communication channels. 13.0 COVVI Go App 13.2 Registration

00 | Page 60

www.covvi.com | Unit 4, Quayside Business Park, Leeds, LS10 1DJ | 020 3949 9500 Once Bluetooth is enabled on both devices, the serial number will show up on the App, for example “CV1LSQBLWH200010”. Serial numbers may differ if your patient changes the colour of their glove or covers. Click ‘Connect’ to connect to your patient’s Nexus Hand. The first screen is ‘Device Summary’ which summarises the key information about the Nexus Hand. The Input Settings are to tailor the input thresholds to the signals your patient can comfortably achieve. The Setup Wizard is to configure a new hand and the ‘Advanced’ option takes you to the Advanced Configuration to modify the setup without passing through all the stages of the Setup Wizard again. 13.0 COVVI Go App

www.covvi.com | Unit 4, Quayside Business Park, Leeds, LS10 1DJ | 020 3949 9500 13.4 Input Settings Clicking on ‘Input Settings’ takes you to a graph where you can see your patient’s inputs in real time and change the thresholds to map the speed of the hand to their signals. This allows your patient to maximise performance of their Nexus Hand. There is the option of one input reading or two input readings. If the user selects single site in operating modes, the signal is shown on Input A. If the user selects dual site, the signals are shown on Input A and B. Example Input Graph 13.0 COVVI Go App On Threshold - This shows the signal strength needed for the hand to move. Max Threshold - This shows the signal strength at which the hand will move at full speed. Any signals above this level will make no difference to speed. There are four primary thresholds: 1. Input A On Threshold 2. Input A Max Threshold 3. Input B On Threshold 4. Input B Max Threshold

00 | Page 62

www.covvi.com | Unit 4, Quayside Business Park, Leeds, LS10 1DJ | 020 3949 9500 High Control and Easy Speed are typical threshold setups with the aim being that the user can exceed the Max threshold without excessive strain. The ‘On’ threshold needs to be set above any potential baseline interference, as this is a highly sensitive sensor, to stop any inadvertent movement of the hand. High control has a large difference between the ‘On’ and Max thresholds and offers great control over a wide speed range but does require the ability to achieve high magnitude signals without fatigue. Easy Speed has a small difference between the ‘On’ and Max thresholds and offers high speed without the need for high magnitude signals, but this setup can make it more challenging to get fine control at lower speeds. The closer the ‘On’ and ‘Max’ thresholds are, the less speed control the user will have of the hand. The ‘Triggers’ at the bottom of the screen advise when a successful grip switch trigger has been achieved. This is a useful tool for users to practice the grip switch triggers to ensure they can successfully do them without over exertion. When the box is black, the system is waiting for the grip switch trigger to be applied, when the box turns green it signifies a successful one has been made. The grip switch trigger must be activated for this training tool to work. If the grip switch trigger is disabled, you can activate it in the advanced configuration screen by selecting grip switch triggers and mapping the disactivated one to a specific action. Return to the input settings screen to practice the new trigger. 13.0 COVVI Go App High Control Easy Speed

00 | Page 63

www.covvi.com | Unit 4, Quayside Business Park, Leeds, LS10 1DJ | 020 3949 9500 If the option ‘Input Gain’ is selected, another set of bars will appear which allows users to amplify or reduce their input signals to better control their Nexus Hand. For example, a user with dual site control could have a very weak Input A signal but a very strong Input B signal and the option to modify the input gain allows them to increase channel A and at the same time reduce channel B to balance the speed output. If a user has two weak inputs, both can be increased so the user does not get tired from overexerting themselves. It is also useful for the interchangeability between different hands as you can make a Nexus Hand perform the same as other prosthetic devices without having to adjust the electrodes. 13.0 COVVI Go App SUCCESSFUL TRIGGER AWAITING TRIGGER TRIGGER NOT ACTIVE

A proportional voltage controls the opening and closing of the Nexus Hand with variable speed and force. 13.0 COVVI Go App Force Sensitive Resistors: These are resistive devices that vary their electrical signal with the applied force and are useful when you are short on space in the prosthetic socket. Linear Transducer: These devices offer proportional control of myo-electric components for users with little or no myo-electric signals. These would normally be coupled to a harness and provide an electrical output in response to a linear extension of the device.

www.covvi.com | Unit 4, Quayside Business Park, Leeds, LS10 1DJ | 020 3949 9500 Number of Inputs: The Nexus Hand has control strategies for both single or dual site control and these should be selected on the operating modes screen. Input Layout: If your patient uses dual site control, the default setup is Input A for an open signal and Input B for a close signal but these can be reversed if the patient’s electrodes are wired the other way around. 13.0 COVVI Go App The Nexus Hand can be controlled using three different operating modes. The modes available will depend on the user’s selection in the previous section. When the user only has one myo-electric electrode site, a strategy is required to open and close the Nexus Hand. Single Site Fast Open/Slow Close: Single Site Fast Open/Slow Close works by the user giving a signal and the time taken for the signal to exceed the ‘on threshold’ is what determines whether it is an open or close action. A short and long burst time need to be set by your patient. The short time is interpreted as an open signal and the long time is interpreted as a close signal. Once the on threshold is exceeded the direction is locked and the speed is proportional to the magnitude of the input signal, which works the same as dual site. 13.7 Operating Modes

00 | Page 67

www.covvi.com | Unit 4, Quayside Business Park, Leeds, LS10 1DJ | 020 3949 9500 Single Site Alternating: Single Site Alternating works by alternating signals from the same input using a certain amount of time, customisable by the user, as a reference for the direction of the hand. This mode switches the single input signal between an open action and close action, depending on whether the second signal sent is received before or after the stipulated time. This is the direction change time, which by default is set to 1 second, but can be adjusted in the additional setup screen. The hand is initially assigned to a close action; the first signal will cause the hand to move, after the initial movement has stopped, the direction change time will start. If a second signal is received before the time reaches 1 second, the hand will continue to close; but if a signal is received after 1 second the signal is assigned to an open action. The grip switch triggers open/open and long hold open both work with single site alternating and the trigger duration can be adjusted in the additional setup screen. To change grips, the user must open the hand and when fully open either release the signal and reapply the signal within the stipulated amount of time for an open/open signal or maintain the open signal for a long hold open signal. 13.0 COVVI Go App Dual Site Open/Close: This is the most common operating mode used with the Nexus Hand. It has two input sites, and the default setup has channel A mapped to an open action, and channel B mapped to a close action, but this can be swapped around according to user preference. All grip switch triggers work in this mode and give the user the most flexibility.

www.covvi.com | Unit 4, Quayside Business Park, Leeds, LS10 1DJ | 020 3949 9500 13.8 Grip Tables A user can have up to four Grip Tables that can be populated with up to six different grips. There are 14 grips to choose from. Tables B, C and D can be empty, but Table A must contain at least one grip, so the hand always has a grip to go into. If the hand is to be used with a COAPT system, remove all grips from tables except the primary grip. The patterns can then be mapped to the grips within the COAPT software. Default Grip Tables: Factory defaults provides two tables populated with the following grips. These are a small mix of opposed and non-opposed grips. Tables C & D are empty and are disabled.

www.covvi.com | Unit 4, Quayside Business Park, Leeds, LS10 1DJ | 020 3949 9500 13.9 Grip Switch Triggers Once the grip tables are populated, a method of switching between tables and grips can be configured. As you can see from the figure to the right, there are several options to choose from. A description of the Trigger and Action parameters is also available to help the user decide which is the best option for them. The available Grip Switch Triggers are: Open/Open - An Open/Open signal are two open signals sent one after the other, or an open signal is sent when the hand is fully open, to change grips. Long Hold Open - A Long Hold Open signal is an open signal used to open the hand but is maintained after the hand is fully open to change grips. Adding Grips: To populate a table, click on the plus (+) symbol next to the table name (as shown by the figure on the previous page) and a list of grips appear. Selecting the grips will bring up an image showing you the grip. After selecting a grip and pressing ‘Done’, it will appear in the table in the next available position. If the Table is full, the plus (+) symbol will be disabled. Removing Grips: When a grip has been added it will have a minus (-) symbol to the left of it; clicking this will remove the grip from the table. The minus (-) symbol will be disabled when you only have one grip in Table A. 13.0 COVVI Go App

www.covvi.com | Unit 4, Quayside Business Park, Leeds, LS10 1DJ | 020 3949 9500 13.0 COVVI Go App Co-Contraction - Co-contraction is when both inputs pass the ‘Co-contraction’ thresholds within a stipulated amount of time from the ‘On’ threshold being reached. In the input graph the user must set their ‘On’ and ‘Co-contraction’ thresholds for both inputs, but the ‘Co-contraction’ thresholds must be higher than the ‘On’ thresholds. Co-contraction will only work if the hand is fully open. The first input to pass the ‘On’ threshold initiates a timer and if both inputs pass their ‘Co-contraction’ thresholds within this stipulated amount of time there will be a successful co-contraction trigger. Co-contraction can be mapped to any action, however, we would recommend that it is mapped to switching between devices, for example, an elbow to a wrist. If one or both signals do not pass the ‘Co-contraction’ threshold within the magnitude and time criteria stated above, the input with the highest magnitude will be acknowledged as either an open or close signal. If the hand is fully open, a co-contraction is outside of the required criteria, and the signal with the highest magnitude is the open signal; it will be interpreted as an open/open signal. If open/open is mapped as a grip switch trigger, its action will be carried out. Thumb Tap Pronate - Trigger: The thumb is tapped inwards and will move into an opposed position, unless assigned to switch to a non-opposed grip where it will remain in a non-opposed position. Thumb Tap Supinate - Trigger: The thumb is tapped outwards and will move into a non-opposed position, unless assigned to switch to an opposed grip where it will remain in an opposed position. Thumb Tap Pronate at Opposed - The thumb is tapped inwards but will remain in an opposed position. If this trigger is assigned to switch to a non-opposed grip, the thumb will move to a non-opposed position. Thumb Tap Supinate at Non-Opposed - Trigger: The thumb is tapped outwards but will remain in a non-opposed position. If this trigger is assigned to switch to an opposed grip, the thumb will move to an opposed position.

Next Grip - The next grip in the table is selected. Previous Grip - The previous grip in the table is selected. Next Table - The first grip in the next table is selected. Previous Table - The first grip in the previous table is selected. Switch to Table A / B / C / D - The first grip in Table A, B, C or D is selected. Map to Grip - This action allows you to assign a specific grip. Auto Grip - This action only works in tripod grip. If the fingers sense objects are starting to slip, they reapply a small continuous force or pulse to gently grasp objects. It monitors the grip every half a second. This icon signifies that auto grip function is enabled. Index Hold - The Force Sensitive Resistor in the thumb can be configured to activate a Grip Switch Trigger when held for a specific amount of time, customisable to suit user preference. Thumb Hold - The Force Sensitive Resistor in the thumb can be configured to activate a Grip Switch Trigger when held for a specific amount of time, customisable to suit user preference. Four Finger Hold - The Force Sensitive Resistors in the fingers can be configured to activate a Grip Switch Trigger when held for a specific amount of time, customisable to suit user preference. Dorsal Button Hold - The dorsal button can be configured to activate a Grip Switch Trigger when held for a specific amount of time, customisable to suit user preference.

In mode specific, you and your patient must establish the times for the grip switch triggers chosen in the previous section. An advanced user will most likely have shorter times, a new user will need an adjustment period. Beep - There is an audible alert that notifies the user when the hand is turned on, but it can be mapped to all functions such as standby mode and changing grips and tables. Vibration - There is also the option to be alerted with a vibration. This can be mapped to all functions. Auto Relax - When this feature is enabled, after 30 seconds the hand goes back to an open position. Display Options - This is to enable or disable the display altogether. The display gives the user information about the current state of their Nexus Hand including battery life or warnings. The display uses very little battery power, so we recommend keeping this option enabled. Switch to Primary Grip - The primary grip is the first grip in table A. If the hand is inactive for a certain amount of time, the current grip will change back to the primary grip. This time can be altered to suit user preference. If this time is set to 0 then the default switch back time is disabled. Maximum Finger Strength - As a safety feature, the maximum force of the fingers can be reduced if required. This is useful whilst the user familiarises themselves with their Nexus Hand. Maximum Thumb Strength - As a safety feature, the maximum force of the thumb can be reduced if required. This is useful whilst the user familiarises themselves with their Nexus Hand. 13.10 Additional Setup

For Dual Site Open/Close the following parameters can be established: Open/Open Time - This is the time in which a second open signal must be applied after a first open signal or after the hand is fully opened for it to be interpreted as a grip switch trigger. Long Hold Open Time - This is the time an open signal must be maintained after the hand is fully open for it to be interpreted as a grip switch trigger. Co-Contraction Time - This is the time in which both inputs must pass the ‘Co-contraction’ thresholds after the ‘On’ threshold has been reached. The minimum co-contraction time is 20ms, the default co-contraction time is 50ms, and the maximum co-contraction time is 250ms seconds. Input A Speed & Input B Speed - The maximum speed of the fingers and thumb can be reduced. This is a feature designed to aid new users who are still adapting to using a prosthetic device. Mode Specific

www.covvi.com | Unit 4, Quayside Business Park, Leeds, LS10 1DJ | 020 3949 9500 13.0 COVVI Go App For Fast Open/Slow Close the following parameters can be established: Fast Open / Slow Close Time - A signal sent within this time is interpreted as an open signal and a signal sent after this time is interpreted as a close signal. For Single Site Alternating the following parameters can be defined: Direction Change Time - This is the time needed to pass for the signal to have a direction change. Any signal sent within this time will keep the direction of the hand the same. Open/Open Time - This is the time in which a second open signal must be applied after a first open signal or after the hand is fully opened for it to be interpreted as a grip switch trigger. This time must be shorter than the direction change time for it to work. Long Hold Open Time - This is the time an open signal must be maintained after the hand is fully open for it to be interpreted as a grip switch trigger.
