Compatibility and how to use
Ask the prosthetist to identify the exact wrist, terminal device, battery, inputs and socket configuration. A broad compatibility statement does not confirm every combination. Request a demonstration with the hand or hook you plan to use, and confirm access to current programming and servicing support.
During fitting, practise elbow positioning, locking and the selected free-swing mode with supervision. Ask for a demonstration of battery exchange, charging and the response to low power. Begin with tasks chosen by the clinician and request the approved limits for the complete fitted prosthesis.
Arrange professional fitting and training. Ask for the current user instructions and the approved inspection, cleaning and maintenance routine for the supplied configuration.
Advantages and limitations
Potential advantages: Powered movement, adjustable control settings and exchangeable batteries are practical features to compare during a trial. An individual demonstration can show whether the control strategy fits the user’s daily activities.
Limitations: Published component weights do not include every part of a complete prosthesis. The product page lists 2700 mAh in its summary and 3000 mAh in its feature text; ask Steeper to confirm the supplied battery revision and charger. Battery endurance depends on activity and connected devices. Do not treat a component holding figure as a universal safe lifting limit.

Steeper lists this product in the United Kingdom. The reviewed page does not establish a complete country availability list. Buyers in India and other countries should confirm an authorised local supplier, fitting support, delivery, import costs and servicing before ordering.

Can I order this without a fitting assessment?
