Date of manufacture
Intended use The application of this instrument as a medical measure relates to the specific clinical disease which is intended for the application of Modulift VBR System. Autonomous indications/contra-indications cannot be declared for this instrument itself, as they comply with the indications/contraindications of the implants of the Modulift VBR System. The implant indications/contraindications can be found in the implant IFU TA015038. ■ The Modulift VBR Sz. S Expansion Driver (MF801R) is used in conjunction with the implant inserter under fluoroscopic conditions to extend the Modulift VBR implants to the appropriate height and optimal curvature correction after insertion. They also provide a tactile feel during use to ensure the desired expansion is achieved. ■ The Modulift VBR Sz. S Set Screw Driver (MF802R) and the Modulift VBR Sz. S Set Screw Removal Driver (MF827R) are used to tighten or loosen the grub screws that lock the implant at the desired expansion height. ■ The Modulift VBR Sz. S/M Bone Tamp (MF708R) is used to thrust bone substitute through the graft funnel into the designated cavities of the Modulift VBR implants. ■ The Modulift VBR Sz. S/M Graft Funnel (MF709R) is used to facilitate the addition of bone substitute into the desired Modulift VBR implant cavities prior to expansion. ■ The Modulift VBR Sz. S Implant Tamp (MF806R) is used to adjust the position of the VBR implant after insertion. ■ The Modulift VBR Sz. S/M Caliper (MF807R) is used to approximately measure the displacement between prepared vertebral bodies so that the appropriate VBR height selection can be made. ■ The Modulift VBR Sz. S Bench Block (MF809P) is used to stabilize the Modulift VBR implants so that the graft funnel and bone tamp can be used to pack bone or bone substitute into the implant. ■ The Modulift VBR Sz. S Footplate Sizer (MF810R) is used to establish the proper implant footplate size cranially and caudally to provide sufficient coverage of the VBR endplate. ■ The Modulift VBR Sz. S Trial Implants (MF811T, MF812T, MF813T, MF814T, MF815T, MF816T, MF808T) and the Modulift VBR Sz. S Footplate Trials (MF795T, MF796T, MF797T) help to establish the expansion height and curvature correction angle of the VBR. ■ The Modulift VBR Sz. S Handle for Trial Implants (MF817R) is used to hold and control the VBR and footplate trials during insertion.
Validated reprocessing procedure General safety instructions 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. The recommended chemistry was used for validation. Note If there is no final sterilization, then a virucidal disinfectant must be used. Note For the latest information on reprocessing and material compatibility see also the Aesculap extranet at https://extranet.bbraun.com The validated steam sterilization procedure was carried out in the Aesculap sterile container system.
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 Publications, Red Brochure – Proper maintenance of instruments.
Preparations at the place of use ► If applicable, rinse non-visible surfaces preferably with deionized water, with a disposable syringe for example. ► Remove any visible surgical residues to the extent possible with a damp, lint-free cloth. ► Transport the dry product in a sealed waste container for cleaning and disinfection within 6 hours.

Steam sterilization ► Check to ensure that the sterilizing agent will come into contact with all external and internal surfaces. ► All instruments should be sterilized inside of the provided Aesculap tray unless otherwise instructed by an Aes-
culap representative. ► Validated sterilization process
– Steam sterilization through fractionated vacuum process – Steam sterilizer according to DIN EN 285 and validated according to DIN EN ISO 17665 – Sterilization using fractionated vacuum process at 134 °C/holding time 5 min ► When sterilizing several products at the same time in a steam sterilizer, ensure that the maximum load capacity of the steam sterilizer specified by the manufacturer is not exceeded.
Sterilization for the US market ■ Aesculap advises against sterilizing the device by flash sterilization or chemical sterilization. ■ Sterilization may be accomplished by a standard prevacuum cycle in a steam autoclave.

► Place the product in its holder or on a suitable tray. Ensure that all cutting edges are protected. ► Pack trays appropriately for the intended sterilization process (e.g., in Aesculap sterile containers). ► Ensure that the packaging provides sufficient protection against recontamination of the product during storage.
To achieve a sterility assurance level of 10-6 , Aesculap recommends the following parameters: Aesculap Orga Tray/Sterile container (perforated bottom) Minimum cycle parameters* Sterilization method

*Aesculap has validated the above sterilization cycle and has the data on file. The validation was accomplished in an Aesculap sterile container cleared by FDA for the sterilization and storage of these products. Other sterilization cycles may also be suitable, however individuals or hospitals not using the recommended method are advised to validate any alternative method using appropriate laboratory techniques. Use an FDA cleared accessory to maintain sterility after processing, such as a wrap, pouch, etc. WARNING for the US market If this device is/was used in a patient with, or suspected of having Creutzfeldt-Jakob Disease (CJD), the device cannot be reused and must be destroyed due to the inability to reprocess or sterilize to eliminate the risk of crosscontamination.
