DANGER Indicates a possible threat of danger. If not avoided, death or serious injury may result.
► Carefully, under X-ray control, insert the disk prosthesis into the intervertebral disk space. The superior prosthesis
WARNING Indicates a possible threat of danger. If not avoided, minor or moderate injury may result.
► If necessary impel the implant with light hammer taps on the proximal end of insertion instrument 2.
CAUTION Indicates a possible threat of material damage. If not avoided, the product may be damaged.

plate (plate with the spikes) must be oriented cranially, the inferior prosthesis plate (the plate with the fin) caudally.
WARNING Compression of the spinal canal and of other posterior elements caused by the intervertebral disk prosthesis inserted too deeply! ► Prior to inserting the intervertebral disk prosthesis, adjust the depth stop to minimum insertion depth. ► Introduce the disk prosthesis into the intervertebral space under X-ray control. ► If necessary, correct the depth stop position using the adjusting wheel 6 until the intended position is reached. ► Should repositioning become necessary, screw repositioning instrument 3 onto the proximal end of insertion
instrument 2 and carefully, with a slotted hammer, move the implant to its intended position. Art. no.

Areas of use and limitations of use
2.2.1
Intended use
The insertion instrument is used for picking up the activ C intervertebral disc prosthesis from its sterile packaging, inserting it in the prepared intervertebral space, and carrying out position corrections of the prosthesis.
2.2.2
Indications
Note The manufacturer is not responsible for any use of the product against the specified indications and/or the described applications. For indications, see Intended use.
2.2.3
Absolute contraindications
No known absolute contraindications.
2.2.4
Relative contraindications
disk implant.
Note Adhere to national statutory regulations, national and international standards and directives, and local, clinical hygiene instructions for sterile processing. Note For patients with Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease (CJD), suspected CJD or possible variants of CJD, observe the relevant national regulations concerning the reprocessing of products. Note Mechanical reprocessing should be favored over manual cleaning as it gives better and more reliable results. Note Successful processing of this medical device can only be ensured if the processing method is first validated. The operator/sterile processing technician is responsible for this. Note If there is no final sterilization, then a virucidal disinfectant must be used.
The following conditions, individual or combined, can lead to delayed healing or compromise the success of the operation: ■ Medical or surgical conditions (e.g. comorbidities) which could hinder the success of the operation. In the presence of relative contraindications, the user decides individually regarding the use of the product.
Note For up-to-date information about reprocessing and material compatibility, see B. Braun eIFU at eifu.bbraun.com The validated steam sterilization procedure was carried out in the Aesculap sterile container system.
2.3
Safety information
2.3.1
Clinical user
Dried or affixed surgical residues can make cleaning more difficult or ineffective and lead to corrosion. Therefore the time interval between application and processing should not exceed 6 h; also, neither fixating pre-cleaning temperatures >45 °C nor fixating disinfecting agents (active ingredient: aldehydes/alcohols) should be used. Excessive measures of neutralizing agents or basic cleaners may result in a chemical attack and/or to fading and the laser marking becoming unreadable visually or by machine for stainless steel. Residues containing chlorine or chlorides e.g. in surgical residues, medicines, saline solutions and in the service water used for cleaning, disinfection and sterilization will cause corrosion damage (pitting, stress corrosion) and result in the destruction of stainless steel products. These must be removed by rinsing thoroughly with demineralized water and then drying. Additional drying, if necessary. Only process chemicals that have been tested and approved (e.g. VAH or FDA approval or CE mark) and which are compatible with the product’s materials according to the chemical manufacturers’ recommendations may be used for processing the product. All the chemical manufacturer's application specifications must be strictly observed. Failure to do so can result in the following problems: ■ Optical changes of materials, e.g. fading or discoloration of titanium or aluminum. For aluminum, the application/process solution only needs to be of pH >8 to cause visible surface changes. ■ Material damage such as corrosion, cracks, fracturing, premature aging or swelling. ► Do not use metal cleaning brushes or other abrasives that would damage the product surfaces and could cause corrosion. ► Further detailed advice on hygienically safe and material-/value-preserving reprocessing can be found at www.ak-i.org, link to "AKI-Brochures", "Red brochure".
General safety information To prevent damage caused by improper setup or operation, and to not compromise the manufacturer warranty and liability: ► Use the product only according to these instructions for use. ► Follow the safety and maintenance instructions. ► Ensure that the product and its accessories are operated and used only by persons with the requisite training, knowledge and experience. ► Store any new or unused products in a dry, clean, and safe place. ► Prior to use, check that the product is in good working order. ► Keep the instructions for use accessible for the user. Note The user is obligated to report all severe events in connection with the product to the manufacturer and the responsible authorities of the state in which the user is located. Notes on surgical procedures It is the user's responsibility to ensure that the surgical procedure is performed correctly. Appropriate clinical training as well as a theoretical and practical proficiency of all the required operating techniques, including the use of this product, are prerequisites for the successful use of this product. The user is required to obtain information from the manufacturer if there is an unclear preoperative situation regarding the use of the product.

Product-specific safety information on the reprocessing method
Phase I ► Fully immerse the product in the cleaning/disinfectant for at least 15 min. Ensure that all accessible surfaces are moistened. ► Clean the product with a suitable cleaning brush in the solution until all discernible residues have been removed from the surface. ► If applicable, brush through non-visible surfaces with an appropriate cleaning brush for at least 1 min. ► Mobilize non-rigid components, such as set screws, links, etc. during cleaning. ► Thoroughly rinse through these components with the cleaning disinfectant solution (at least five times), using a disposable syringe.
Damage to or destruction of the product due to inappropriate cleaning/disinfecting agents and/or excessive temperatures! ► Following the manufacturer's instructions, use cleaning and disinfecting agents – that are approved for e.g., aluminum, plastics, high-grade steel, – that do not attack softeners (e.g., in silicone). ► Observe specifications regarding concentration, temperature and exposure time. ► Do not exceed the maximum allowable disinfection temperature of 95 °C.
