Areas of use and limitations of use

2.2.1

Intended use

The CranioPlate system 1.5 mm is used for the osteosynthesis of bone fractures, craniotomized bone flaps and bridging cranial bone defects. It consists of: ■ Micro screws ■ Micro plates ■ Micro meshes There is a special instrument set for implanting these elements. Trays are used for holding or storing medical devices, such as instruments, implants or motor components during cleaning and sterilization, as well as during transport.

2.2.2

Indications

■ Craniofacial surgery ■ Cranial bone flaps ■ Cranial fractures ■ Certain fractures of the midface and craniofacial skull ■ Certain orthognathic fractures of the jaws and chin ■ Other reconstructive indications at the skull 2.2.3

Contraindications

■ Severe osteoporosis or osteomalacia ■ Severely damaged bone structures that could prevent stable implantation of implant components ■ Bone tumors in the region of the implant anchoring ■ Lack of cooperation on the part of the patient ■ Foreign-body sensitivity and oversensitivity against the implant materials ■ Fever ■ Acute or chronic infections in the region of the implant anchoring ■ Degenerative bone diseases ■ Anticipated overload on the implant 2.3

Risks, adverse effects and interactions

As part of the legal duty to inform, the following typical risks, interactions and side effects associated with the use of surgical instruments are pointed out. Possible risks, side effects and interactions of the application currently known to the manufacturer are: ■ Changes in position, loosening, wear and tear on, or fracture of implant components ■ Primary and secondary infections ■ Tissue reaction to implant materials ■ Injury to blood vessels and nerves ■ Haematosis and wound healing disorders ■ Implant failure resulting from excessive load: – Warping or bending – Loosening – Breakage – Inadequate fixation – Failed or delayed fusion

■ The operating surgeon must be fully conversant with bone anatomy, including the pathways of nerves, blood vessels, muscles, and tendons.

■ Aesculap is not responsible for any complications arising from incorrect diagnosis, choice of incorrect implant, incorrectly combined implant components and/or operating techniques, the limitations of treatment methods, or lack of asepsis.

■ Do not, under any circumstances, use damaged or surgically removed components. ■ Implants already used must not be reused. ■ The forces to be transferred by the implant must be kept to the achievable minimum. ■ Delayed healing can cause implant breakage due to metal fatigue. ■ Micro screws once removed from the screw magazine must not be put back into the screw magazine. ■ Mesh and micro plates must not be bent multiple times. ■ Replace the screwdriver blade as soon as it is worn (loss of friction). Note The screw heads are not equalized in meshes of 0.3 mm thickness.

Note Inappropriate fixation or any combination with other fixation methods (sutures, clamp systems) can result in the formation of steps, shifts of the calvarium and loosening and breakage of implant components. Note Combine implant components of Aesculap CranioPlate System 1.5 mm with each other only.

2.4.3

Sterility

The product is delivered in an unsterile condition. For implant components in original packaging: ► Store implant components in their original packaging. Remove them from their original protective packaging only just prior to implantation. ► Use the storage tray for sterilization and sterile prep. ► Ensure that the implant components do not come into contact with instruments in the implant system storage devices. ► Ensure that the implant components are not damaged in any way.

2.5

Application

DANGER Damage to the CNS and poor cosmetic results due to insufficient fixation of fragments and inadequate bridging of bone defects achieved with the meshes! ► Carry out a stability check of the surgical provision. ► Use a more substantial mesh. ► Cover the cranial bone defect with mesh so that it is overlapping to enable sufficient circumferential fixation with screws. ► Insert additional screws. WARNING Tissue irritation caused by sharp cut edges after cutting the mesh! ► Use different cutting forceps. WARNING Risk of implant malfunction due to incorrect application! ► Take care that any excentric motion due to the screwdriver movement is kept to a minimum when inserting the micro screws. ► Insert the screw at right angles to the bone surface plane and the implant. ► Drive in the screw on the screwdriver axis. Do not tilt the screw. ► For hard bone: Predrill the screw holes. The following conditions must be fulfilled prior to application: ■ All the requisite special implantation instruments must be present and in good working order. ■ The operating surgeon and operating room team are thoroughly conversant with the operating technique and with the available range of implants and instruments; information materials on these subjects must be complete and ready to hand. The intervention has been explained to the patient, whose consent concerning the following information has been documented: ■ The implants must not be subjected to overload through extreme strains, hard physical work or exercise. The implant may loosen or suffer material fracture if subjected to excessive load. ■ The patient must be informed about the limits of allowable strain on the implant, and be given appropriate behavior guidelines. The risks of transgressing these rules must be explained to the patient. ■ The patient must undergo regular medical follow-up examinations. Further information on B. Braun/Aesculap implant systems is available at any time from B. Braun/Aesculap or from the responsible B. Braun/Aesculap branch.

General information

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".
