3. Contraindications and undesirable side-effects No contraindications and no undesirable side-effects are known when used as intended. 4. Clinical benefits The clinical benefits of the Quick Lock Connector Reusable Handles include use in vitreoretinal surgery for manual actuation of the GRIESHABER™ Advanced DSP Tips for grasping and cutting. 5. Precautions and warnings • The instrument is provided as an unsterile unit and must be processed in accordance with the provided instructions prior to first use and reprocessed after each reuse (see section 7 for details). • If a patient with a prion-related disease undergoes a procedure which, in the medical opinion of the physician, poses a high risk of instrument contamination, the instrument should be destroyed or processed according to local requirements.

• The instrument tip must be properly attached to the handle: Check that the dot on the tip aligns with the mark on the handle and that the tip fits tightly. • After attaching the instrument tip to the handle and prior to each use, the instrument must be properly inspected for correct function and possible damage (see section 6 for details). The end of product life is recognized by appearance of damage or loss of instrument function. The instrument should then be immediately removed from service. • Most of the Quick Lock Connector Reusable Handles may also be used with the former GRIESHABER Reusable Microinstrument Tips (20 gauge 712.xx.00 and 23 gauge 713.xx.00). However, the RENAISSANCE Advanced Handle is not recommended to be used with the 20 gauge reusable tips (712.xx.00), as some of the instrument tips may not close completely. • Avoid touching hard surfaces with the instrument as this can lead to damage. • Do not use or repair damaged or defective instruments.

7. Cleaning, Disinfection and Sterilization 7.1. General Information • Immediately clean instrument after each use. Do not store or allow the instrument to dry after use until thoroughly cleaned. Any dried remnants, especially saline solution, left on the instruments could trigger irreversible corrosion or other damage. • Refer to the safety instructions of cleaning, neutralizing, disinfecting etc. solutions and the equipment used, as well as to the facility’s hygienic instructions. • The periodic use of an instrument lubrication will increase the lifetime and function of the instrument. • Protect the instrument during ultrasonic cleaning and during processing in the washer by use of appropriate instrument trays and holders. No customized equipment required. • Do not clean the instruments with non-ophthalmic devices.

• All applied reprocessing procedures must be compatible with stainless steel and polyetheretherketone, as well as polyphenylsulfone (applicable only to the RENAISSANCE Advanced Handle) and fluoroelastomer (applicable only to the Sutherland Handle). • The instrument should not be exposed to oxidative or low pH cleaning solutions and especially not to NaOCl. Irreparable damage will result. • The instrument should not be exposed to temperature higher than 140°C (284°F). • The hot instrument should not be chilled in water or other liquid. Allow the instrument to cool by air. • Unless otherwise indicated, the cleaning and disinfecting steps should be performed at ambient temperature. • It remains the responsibility of the processor to ensure that processing achieves the desired result as performed with the particular equipment, materials and personnel in the facility. This requires verification and routine monitoring of the process. Likewise any deviation by the processor from

the instructions provided should be properly evaluated for effectiveness and potential adverse consequences. Please refer to nationally recognized standards or to your facility’s standard procedures. • Due to the potential for the accumulation of particulate and bioburden residues in the equipment’s water reservoirs, the facility must properly maintain the equipment and associated filters to ensure that the introduction of water or steam is contaminant-free. • All provided reprocessing instructions have been validated by Alcon and provide methods for effectively cleaning, disinfecting and sterilizing the Quick Lock Connector Reusable Handles per ISO 17664 Processing of health care products – Information to be provided by the medical device manufacturer for the processing of medical devices.
