IMPORTANT NOTE TO OPERATING SURGEON
DESCRIPTION
ISOLA , VSP , MOSS MIAMI, TIMX and MONARCH spinal implants, like any other temporary internal fixation devices, have a finite useful life. The patient’s activity level has a significant impact on this useful life. Your patient must be informed that any activity increases the risk of loosening, bending, or breaking of the implant components. It is essential to instruct patients about restrictions to their activities in the postoperative period and to examine patients postoperatively to evaluate the development of the fusion mass and the status of the implant components. Even if solid bone fusion occurs, implant components may nevertheless bend, break, or loosen. Therefore, the patient must be made aware that implant components may bend, break, or loosen even though restrictions in activity are followed.
DePuy Spine implants are NOT compatible with implants from other manufacturers unless otherwise specified.

Because of the limitations imposed by anatomic considerations and modern surgical materials, metallic implants cannot be made to last indefinitely. Their purpose is to provide temporary internal support while the fusion mass is consolidating. These types of implants are more likely to fail if no bone graft is used, if a pseudarthrosis develops, or if patients have severe or multiple preoperative curves. The surgeon may remove these implants after bone fusion occurs. The possibility of a second surgical procedure must be discussed with the patient, and the risks associated with a second surgical procedure must also be discussed. If the implants do break, the decision to remove them must be made by the physician who 2019-10-28 12:59:53

Warnings and Cautions These instructions are provided for the processing of heat-resistant, immersible, critical medical devices, unless otherwise noted on specific product inserts. Product specific inserts are given priority over these instructions. This can include heat-sensitive devices and certain power (air- or electric-driven) tool designs that are provided with specific cleaning and sterilization instructions. Consult the product specific instructions for processing in these cases. The instructions provided are given as guidance for medical device processing and have been validated by the manufacturer. It is the responsibility of the healthcare facility to ensure that processing is performed using the required equipment, materials and personnel at a defined processing area. This will include the handling of devices during transportation, processing and storage prior to surgical use. Those using these instructions should be qualified personnel with documented training and competency in accordance with local procedures, guidelines, and standards. Surgically used instruments can be considered biohazard and facilities should ensure that transport and handling procedures comply with local regulations and guidelines. Sterile, single use implants must not be reprocessed or reused. Sterile implants are labelled as single use and have not been validated for reprocessing. Non-sterile implants must be processed prior to use in accordance with these processing instructions. They may be subjected to reprocessing in accordance with these processing instructions, but they must be discarded following direct patient contact or use. Reusable, non-sterile surgical instruments are required to be cleaned, inspected and sterilized prior to surgical use. Care should be taken in the handling and cleaning of sharp devices. All devices must be thoroughly cleaned and inspected prior to sterilization. Long, narrow lumens, blind holes, moving and intricate parts require particular attention during cleaning and inspection. During cleaning, only use detergents that are labelled for use on medical devices and in accordance with the manufacturer’s instruc tions. Cleaning agents with a used dilution pH of within 7 – 9 are recommended. Highly alkaline conditions (pH>10) can damage components / devices, such as aluminium materials. Do not use saline, environmental disinfection (including chlorine solutions) or surgical antiseptics (such as iodine- or chlorhexidine-containing products).

Instruments should be carefully inspected before each use to ensure that they are functional. Scratches, dents or other damage can result in instrument breakage or tissue injury. Instruments must be cleaned separately from instrument trays and cases. Instrument trays and cases are designed as an organizational tool in preparation for sterilization, storage and surgical use. Non-sterile implant sets may be processed in their trays provided. Automated equipment, including washer-disinfectors and steam sterilizers must be installed, maintained and operated in accordance with manufacturer’s instructions. Do not exceed 140°C (284°F) during reprocessing steps. For patients with, or suspected with, Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease (CJD), variant CJD or other transmissible spongiform encepha lopathy (TSE) and related infections, it is recommended to treat the patient using single-use instruments. Safely dispose of all devices used in accordance with local procedures and guidelines.
LIMITATIONS ON PROCESSING Repeated processing cycles in compliance with these instructions for use have minimal effects on device life and function. Instruments do not have an indefinite functional life. End of life of devices is determined by wear and damage due to surgical use and handling. Evidence of damage and wear on a device may include but is not limited to corrosion (i.e. rust, pitting), discoloration, excessive scratches, flaking, wear and cracks. Improperly functioning devices, devices with unrecognizable markings, missing or removed (buffed off) part numbers, damaged and excessively worn devices should not be used. Non-sterile implants must be discarded following patient use. Any implant with evidence of damage, such as due to handling or processing must be discarded.
Step 1: Point of Use Care Ensure that no instruments or parts are left in the surgical site prior to closure as patient injury may result. All single use devices and materials should be removed and discarded in compliance to local policies. The drying of gross soil (blood, tissue and/or debris) on devices following surgical use should be avoided. It is preferred that gross soil is removed from devices following use and in preparation for transportation to a processing area. Gross soil can be removed using sponges, cloths, or soft brushes. Water and/or cleaning detergents (labelled for use on medical devices) may be used. Do not use saline, environmental disinfection (including chlorine solutions) or surgical antiseptics (such as iodine- or chlorhexidinecontaining products. Flush all lumened devices with water
2019-10-28 12:59:53
(or detergent solution) to prevent the drying of soil and/or debris to the inside. If gross-soil cannot be removed at the point of use, the devices should be transported to prevent drying (e.g., covered with a towel dampened with purified water) and cleaned as soon as possible at a designated processing area. Surgical cement should be removed from devices during surgical use and prior to setting. When cement hardens it will typically require physical methods to remove. Chemical solvents should not be used. Hardened cement may be removed with an approved stylus or removing tool, but these may damage devices.
Step 2: Containment and Transportation Surgically used devices may be considered bio-hazardous and should be safely transported to a designated processing area in accordance with local policies.
Step 3: Cleaning Preparation before Cleaning It is recommended that devices should be reprocessed as soon as is reasonably practical following surgical use. Instruments must be cleaned separately from instrument trays and cases. Non-sterile implants may be cleaned and disinfected in the provided implant trays. Care should be taken in the handling and cleaning of sharp devices. These are recommended to be cleaned separately to reduce risks of injury. Multi-part or complex instruments may require disassembly for cleaning. Refer to any technique guides or other supplemental information for specific device disassembly and/or reassembly instructions. Any devices with moving parts (e.g. ratchets, box locks, hinges or actuated parts) need to be actuated during manual cleaning to ensure access of the cleaning process. All devices with lumens need to be manually flushed to remove debris and brushed thoroughly using appropriately sized softbristled brushes and twisting action. Brush size should be approximately the same diameter of the lumen to be cleaned. Using a brush that is too big or too small for the diameter of the lumen/cannulation may not effectively clean the lumen. Refer to any technique guides or other supplemental information for specific device lumen diameters. After brushing, rinse with water by flushing and blow clean compressed air through all lumens. NOTE: Two cleaning methods are provided, a Manual and an Automated Method, and at least one shall be performed.

Step 4: Thermal Disinfection
Step 6: Maintenance and Inspection
Thermal disinfection is recommended to render devices safe for handling prior to steam sterilization. Thermal disinfection should be conducted in a washer-disinfector compliant to ISO 15883-1 and-2, or to an equivalent standard. Thermal disinfection in the washer-disinfector shall be validated to provide an A0 of at least 600 (e.g., 90°C (194°F) for 1 min). Higher levels of A0 can be achieved by increasing the exposure time and temperature (e.g., A0 of 3000 at > 90°C (194°F) for 5 min, in accordance with local requirements). Load the device components in the washer-disinfector in accordance with manufacturer’s instructions, ensuring that the devices and lumens can drain freely. Evenly rinsed surfaces can achieve required heating curve for thermal disinfection. If possible use an irrigating rack /load carrier with connections designed to ensure an adequate flow of process fluids to the lumen or cannulation of the device if provided.
Instruments should be visually inspected under ambient lighting, to verify that the devices do not have visible soil, damage or moisture.
The following automated cycles are examples of validated cycles: Phase Thermal Disinfection Thermal Disinfection

MAGNETIC RESONANCE (MR) COMPATIBILITY The ISOLA, VSP, MOSS MIAMI, TIMX, and MONARCH Spine Systems have not been evaluated for safety and compatibility in the MR environment. They have not been tested for heating or migration in the MR environment.
USAGE WARNING: The safety and effectiveness of pedicle screw spinal systems have been established only for spinal conditions with significant mechanical instability or deformity requiring fusion with instrumentation. These conditions are significant mechanical instability or deformity of the thoracic, lumbar, and sacral spine secondary to severe spondylolisthesis (grades 3 and 4) of the L5-S1 vertebra, degenerative spondylolisthesis with objective evidence of neurologic impairment, fracture, dislocation, scoliosis, kyphosis, spinal tumor, and failed previous fusion (pseudarthrosis). The safety and effectiveness of these devices for any other conditions are unknown. PRECAUTION: The implantation of pedicle screw spinal systems should be performed only by experienced spinal surgeons with specific training in the use of this pedicle screw spinal system because this is a technically demanding procedure presenting a risk of serious injury to the patient. The surgeon must be thoroughly knowledgeable not only in the medical and surgical aspects of the implant, but must also be aware of the mechanical and metallurgical limitations of metallic surgical implants. Postoperative care is extremely important. The patient must be instructed in the limitations of the metallic implant and be warned regarding weight bearing and body stresses on the appliance prior to firm bone healing. The patient should be warned that noncompliance with postoperative instructions could lead to failure of the implant and possible need thereafter for additional surgery to remove the device. Refer to the individual system surgical technique manuals for additional important information.

DePuy Spine Spinal System components should not be used with components from other manufacturers. Stainless steel components may interfere with the quality of imaging obtained using MRI. When using spine plates, use the shortest plate possible for each procedure. Minimal plate length will reduce the possibility of interference with other bony structures. When using spine plates, it is important that the plates be contoured to mirror or to create the desired anatomic curves. During the surgical procedure, the rods may be cut to size and shaped to provide correction and maintain proper anatomic lordotic and kyphotic alignment. When using anterior thoracic/lumbar screw fixation systems, staples, staple washers and washers are available to optimize proper staple/screw/rod alignment and stability.
is limited clinical data on pediatric use of these spinal systems. The implanting surgeon should consider carefully the size and type of implants most suitable for the pediatric patient’s age, size, weight and skeletal maturity. Since pediatric patients may have additional growth potential following implant surgery, the likelihood of a subsequent removal and/or revision surgery is greater in these patients.
POSTOPERATIVE MOBILIZATION Until X-rays confirm the maturation of the fusion mass, external immobilization (such as bracing or casting) is recommended. Instructions to the patient to reduce stress on the implants are an equally important part of the attempt to avoid the occurrence of clinical problems that may accompany fixation failure.
CONTRAINDICATIONS
Screw diameters of 11mm and 12mm are indicated for use only in the sacrum or Ilium. Pre-operative use of CT imaging to determine the appropriate screw diameter, length, insertion trajectory, and clearance is strongly recommended when large diameter screws are indicated.
Disease conditions that have been shown to be safely and predictably managed without the use of internal fixation devices are relative contraindications to the use of these devices.
After solid fusion occurs, these devices serve no functional purpose and may be removed. In some cases, removal is indicated because the implants are not intended to transfer or to support forces developed during normal activities. Any decision to remove the device must be made by the physician and the patient taking into consideration the patient’s general medical condition and the potential risk to the patient of a second surgical procedure.
Severe osteoporosis is a relative contraindication because it may prevent adequate fixation of spinal anchors and thus preclude the use of this or any other spinal instrumentation system.
Based on fatigue testing results, when using the MOSS MIAMI 4.0mm Rod System components in a unilateral anterior construct, the physician/surgeon should consider the levels of implantation, patient weight, patient activity level, other patient conditions, etc., which may impact on the performance of this system. These devices are not intended or expected to be the only mechanism for support of the spine. Regardless of the etiology of the spinal pathology, for which implantation of these devices was chosen, it is the expectation and requirement that a spinal fusion or arthrodesis be planned and obtained. Without solid biological support provided by spinal fusion, the devices cannot be expected to support the spine indefinitely and will fail in any of several modes. These modes may include bone-metal interface failure, implant fracture, or bone failure. When using Pediatric ISOLA posterior spinal instrumentation in children, it is preferable that children be above the age of 10 but need not have reached skeletal maturity. In special circumstances, implants may be used at younger ages. Due to the difficulties in conducting randomized prospective studies with children, there

Active systemic infection or infection localized to the site of the proposed implantation are contraindications to implantation.
Any entity or condition that totally precludes the possibility of fusion, i.e., cancer, kidney dialysis, or osteopenia is a relative contraindication. Other relative contraindications include obesity, certain degenerative diseases, and foreign body sensitivity. In addition, the patient’s occupation or activity level or mental capacity may be relative contraindications to this surgery. Specifically, patients who because of their occupation or lifestyle, or because of conditions such as mental illness, alcoholism, or drug abuse, may place undue stresses on the implant during bony healing and may be at higher risk for implant failure. See also the WARNINGS, PRECAUTIONS AND POSSIBLE ADVERSE EFFECTS CONCERNING TEMPORARY METALLIC INTERNAL FIXATION DEVICES section of this insert.
WARNINGS, PRECAUTIONS, AND POSSIBLE ADVERSE EFFECTS CONCERNING TEMPORARY METALLIC INTERNAL FIXATION DEVICES Following are specific warnings, precautions, and possible adverse effects that should be understood by the surgeon and explained to the patient. These warnings do not include all adverse effects that can occur with surgery in general, but are important considerations particular to metallic internal fixation devices. General surgical risks should be explained to the patient prior to surgery.

WARNINGS 1. CORRECT SELECTION OF THE IMPLANT IS EXTREMELY IMPORTANT. The potential for satisfactory fixation is increased by the selection of the proper size, shape, and design of the implant. While proper selection can help minimize risks, the size and shape of human bones present limitations on the size, shape and strength of implants. Metallic internal fixation devices cannot withstand activity levels equal to those placed on normal healthy bone. No implant can be expected to withstand indefinitely the unsupported stress of full weight bearing. 2. IMPLANTS CAN BREAK WHEN SUBJECTED TO THE INCREASED LOADING ASSOCIATED WITH DELAYED UNION OR NONUNION. Internal fixation appliances are load-sharing devices which are used to obtain alignment until normal healing occurs. If healing is delayed, or does not occur, the implant may eventually break due to metal fatigue. The degree or success of union, loads produced by weight bearing, and activity levels will, among other conditions, dictate the longevity of the implant. Notches, scratches or bending of the implant during the course of surgery may also contribute to early failure. Patients should be fully informed of the risks of implant failure. 3. MIXING METALS CAN CAUSE CORROSION. There are many forms of corrosion damage and several of these occur on metals surgically implanted in humans. General or uniform corrosion is present on all implanted metals and alloys. The rate of corrosive attack on metal implant devices is usually very low due to the presence of passive surface films. Dissimilar metals in contact, such as titanium and stainless steel, accelerate the corrosion process of stainless steel and more rapid attack occurs. The presence of corrosion often accelerates fatigue fracture of implants. The amount of metal compounds released into the body system will also increase. Internal fixation devices, such as rods, hooks, etc., which come into contact with other metal objects, must be made from like or compatible metals. 4. PATIENT SELECTION. In selecting patients for internal fixation devices, the following factors can be of extreme importance to the eventual success of the procedure: A. The patient’s weight. An overweight or obese patient can produce loads on the device that can lead to failure of the appliance and the operation. B. The patient’s occupation or activity. If the patient is involved in an occupation or activity that includes heavy lifting, muscle strain, twisting, repetitive bending, stooping, running, substantial walking, or manual labor, he/she should not return to these activities until the bone is fully healed. Even with full healing, the patient may not be able to return to these activities successfully.
2019-10-28 12:59:53
C. A condition of senility, mental illness, alcoholism, or drug abuse. These conditions, among others, may cause the patient to ignore certain necessary limitations and precautions in the use of the appliance, leading to implant failure or other complications. D. Certain degenerative diseases. In some cases, the progression of degenerative disease may be so advanced at the time of implantation that it may substantially decrease the expected useful life of the appliance. For such cases, orthopaedic devices can only be considered a delaying technique or temporary remedy. E. Foreign body sensitivity. The surgeon is advised that no preoperative test can completely exclude the possibility of sensitivity or allergic reaction. Patients can develop sensitivity or allergy after implants have been in the body for a period of time. F. Smoking. Patients who smoke have been observed to experience higher rates of pseudarthrosis following surgical procedures where bone graft is used. Additionally, smoking has been shown to cause diffuse degeneration of intervertebral discs. Progressive degeneration of adjacent segments caused by smoking can lead to late clinical failure (recurring pain) even after successful fusion and initial clinical improvement.
PRECAUTIONS 1. SURGICAL IMPLANTS MUST NEVER BE REUSED. An explanted metal implant should never be reimplanted. Even though the device appears undamaged, it may have small defects and internal stress patterns which may lead to early breakage. Reuse can compromise device performance and patient safety. Reuse of single use devices can also cause cross-contamination leading to patient infection. 2. CORRECT HANDLING OF THE IMPLANT IS EXTREMELY IMPORTANT. Contouring of metal implants should only be done with proper equipment. The operating surgeon should avoid any notching, scratching or reverse bending of the devices when contouring. Alterations will produce defects in surface finish and internal stresses which may become the focal point for eventual breakage of the implant. Bending of screws will significantly decrease the fatigue life and may cause failure. 3. CONSIDERATIONS FOR REMOVAL OF THE IMPLANT AFTER HEALING. If the device is not removed after the completion of its intended use, any of the following complications may occur: (1) Corrosion, with localized tissue reaction or pain; (2) Migration of implant position resulting in injury; (3) Risk of additional injury from postoperative trauma; (4) Bending, loosening, and/ or breakage, which could make removal impractical or difficult;

(5) Pain, discomfort, or abnormal sensations due to the presence of the device; (6) Possible increased risk of infection; and (7) Bone loss due to stress shielding. The surgeon should carefully weigh the risks versus benefits when deciding whether to remove the implant. Implant removal should be followed by adequate postoperative management to avoid refracture. If the patient is older and has a low activity level, the surgeon may choose not to remove the implant thus eliminating the risks involved with a second surgery. 4. ADEQUATELY INSTRUCT THE PATIENT. Postoperative care and the patient’s ability and willingness to follow instructions are among the most important aspects of successful bone healing. The patient must be made aware of the limitations of the implant, and instructed to limit and restrict physical activities, especially lifting and twisting motions and any type of sports participation. The patient should understand that a metallic implant is not as strong as normal healthy bone and could loosen, bend and/or break if excessive demands are placed on it, especially in the absence of complete bone healing. Implants displaced or damaged by improper activities may migrate and damage the nerves or blood vessels. An active, debilitated, or demented patient who cannot properly use weight-supporting devices may be particularly at risk during postoperative rehabilitation. 5. CORRECT PLACEMENT OF ANTERIOR SPINAL IMPLANT. Due to the proximity of vascular and neurologic structures to the implantation site, there are risks of serious or fatal hemorrhage and risks of neurologic damage with the use of this product. Serious or fatal hemorrhage may occur if the great vessels are eroded or punctured during implantation or are subsequently damaged due to breakage of implants, migration of implants or if pulsatile erosion of the vessels occurs because of close apposition of the implants.
POSSIBLE ADVERSE EFFECTS Potential complications and adverse effects with these systems are similar to those with other spinal instrumentation systems. These complications may include: 1. Bending or fracture of implant. 2. Loosening of the implant. 3. Metal sensitivity or allergic reaction to a foreign body. 4. Infection, early or late. 5. Nonunion, delayed union. 6. Decrease in bone density due to stress shielding.
8. Nerve damage due to surgical trauma or presence of the device. Neurological difficulties including bowel and/or bladder dysfunction, impotence, retrograde ejaculation, and paraesthesia. 9. Bursitis. 10. Paralysis. 11. Dural tears experienced during surgery could result in the need for further surgery for dural repair, a chronic CSF leak or fistula, and possible meningitis. 12. Death. 13. Vascular damage due to surgical trauma or presence of the device. Vascular damage could result in catastrophic or fatal bleeding. Malpositioned implants adjacent to large arteries or veins could erode these vessels and cause catastrophic bleeding in the late postoperative period. 14. Screw back out, possibly leading to implant loosening, and/or reoperation for device removal. 15. Damage to lymphatic vessels and/or lymphatic fluid exudation. 16. Spinal cord impingement or damage. 17. Fracture of bony structures. 18. Degenerative changes or instability in segments adjacent to fused vertebral levels.
Additional Possible Adverse Effects for Anterior ISOLA Spine System 19. Loss of normal spinal contours. 20. Cessation of growth of the fused portion of the spine. 21. Pulmonary complications.
