•
Do not operate the Midas Rex MR7 System without eye protection.
•
Motors and attachments which fail due to extended use may allow a component to detach and fall from the motor or attachment, and may cause patient injury.
•
Heavy side loads and/or long operating periods may cause the device to overheat. If overheating occurs: • • •
Never place an overheated motor on the patient or draping during surgery. Discontinue use and rest the motor by using intermittently, or wrap the motor/attachment interface with a moist sterile towel. If the motor is passed off, the receiver should grasp the motor by the proximal end close to the motor hose.
•
To avoid injury to the patient or user, do not place the handpiece on the patient or in an unsecured location, when not in use.
•
Midas Rex MR7 motors should only be operated when the attachment is in the position.
If a dissecting tool package is opened, but the tool is not used or contaminated, the tool can be re-sterilized by steam sterilization. Remove tool from all original packaging and place into an approved autoclave package. Steam sterilize as follows: High Vacuum Steam: 270° F (132° C) for 5 minutes Gravity Displacement: 270° F (132° C) for 15 minutes The re-sterilized tool must be used promptly following re-sterilization.
