The Stealth-Midas™ MR8™ System and its associated applications should be used only as an adjunct for surgical guidance. It is not a replacement for the surgeon’s knowledge, expertise, or judgment. Operate the Stealth-Midas™ MR8™ System only after appropriate anatomical landmarks have been identified and the intended surgical site has been confirmed. Refer to the Medtronic Stealth Systems manuals for instructions to complete these guidelines. Operate the Stealth-Midas™ MR8™ System only after fully engaging the Secondary Lock. Do not apply force when verifying dissecting tools. The user must be familiar with this Stealth-Midas™ MR8™ SystemIFU, the Midas Rex™ MR8™ Pneumatic High-Speed Drill System IFU, Midas Rex™ MR8™ ClearView™ IFU, and Medtronic Stealth Systems manuals for their precautions, procedures, and safety issues. The system and its associated accessories should be used only by qualified medical professionals who are thoroughly trained and experienced in performing surgery with Medtronic powered surgery systems. Always inspect the device before and after use for any damage. If damage is observed, do not use damaged device. Use adequate irrigation during dissection to prevent thermal necrosis. Do not use an overheated device, as it may cause thermal injury to the patient or user. Heavy side loads and/or long operating periods may cause the device to overheat. Never place an overheated device on the patient or draping during the surgery. Do not use excessive force to pry or push bone with the attachment or dissecting tool during surgery. Use only dissecting tools specifically designed for use with this drill system. Match the nomenclature and color code on the MR8™ dissecting tool packaging to the same nomenclature and color band on the MR8™ attachment. Confirm that the dissecting tool packaging label has the Stealth-Midas™ MR8™ logo ( Stealth-MidasTM MR8TM ) if navigation is required. Do not use the reusable devices without proper cleaning and sterilization. Sterilize and dry reusable device before storing. All service must be performed by Medtronic qualified personnel only. Discontinue use of device if visualization to the surgical site is lost. Do not attempt to remove a dissecting tool or attachment while the motor is running to prevent laceration of user and/or cross contamination through compromised glove. Do not immerse the device, except when recommended by the cleaning instructions in this IFU. The motors should only be operated when the attachment/tool is in the fully locked position. Do not use a system if the motor continues to run after releasing the FCU. Do not place the device on the patient or in an unsecured location during surgery. Do not use an attachment and dissecting tool combination that results in tool flail or excessive vibration. Do not use the reusable device immediately after steam sterilization. Allow an adequate cooling period after steam sterilization. Do not place the motor in the proximity of a magnetic field, such as magnetic drape or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) equipment to avoid inadvertent motor activation. When using variable exposure attachments, surgeons should become familiar with the performance of dissecting tools before use and should explore effect of various levels of tool exposure on tool stability. If the tool exhibits excessive chatter, vibration, or movement, decrease the tool exposure. Failure to follow prescribed maintenance schedule on motors and attachments may result in device(s) detaching and falling from the motor or attachment, causing patient injury. Do not sterilize and supply for surgical use any device that is not visibly clean and free of particulates. If particulates are present, repeat reprocessing, starting with the Preparation for Cleaning step. When using non-DK variable exposure attachments, ensure that the attachment is still in the locked position after each adjustment of the tool exposure. Attempting to increase the tool exposure too far may result in the attachment accidentally being unlocked. Excessive side loading could cause non-DK angled attachments to unlock accidentally from motor. Failure to properly secure the lubricant/diffuser or oil cartridge may cause injury to patient, user, and/or operating room staff. Do not use a motor that is leaking lubricant. Do not load more than one motor inside the instrument tray per sterilization cycle. Do not wrap the rigid sterilization container. The system devices must be cleaned separate from the trays and sterilization cases. Do not load system devices into instrument trays or sterilization cases until the devices are clean. Devices cannot be sterilized to an adequate Sterility Assurance Level (SAL) without prior cleaning. The system user should that ensure sensitive anatomy is protected during drilling and use of the system. Failure to do so could cause injury to the patient. Do not use any parts other than Medtronic device unless as noted, as damage or substandard performance could result. Do not pinch, kink, obstruct, cut, tear, or step on the motor/exhaust hose. This may cause the hose to burst, potentially injuring the patient or user. Tool flutes are sharp and may perforate surgical gloves. Keep the cutting area of the tool away from fingers and loose clothing to prevent laceration of user and cross-contamination through compromised glove. A tool’s size and geometry may create excessive vibration at certain speeds. Increase or decrease pressure supplied to the motor to prevent vibration. If vibration persists, change to a different tool size or geometry to prevent unintended tissue damage. Excessive noise from the tool when drilling close to the cochlea or ossicular chain may cause patient hearing damage. Dissecting tools are for single-use only. Do not attempt to sterilize them. The dissecting tools are packed sterile and not intended for repeat use. To prevent contamination, use only once. Excessive pressure applied to tool may cause tool fracture. Should a tool fracture in use, exercise extreme care to ensure all fragments of the tool are removed from the patient. Unremoved tool fragments may cause tissue damage to the patient. Do not use a dissecting tool if its packaging is opened or damaged. Sterility is compromised if packaging is opened or damaged.
Pneumatic Stealth-Midas™ MR8™ System W47 Do not use dull tools. Use of dull tools can reduce cutting effectiveness and can cause the motor temperature to increase. Use of a dull tool may lead to heat at the cutting site. W48 Exposure of tool packaging to ambient light for extended periods of time may cause damage to packaging. W49 When using a non-DK angled attachment, hold the motor assembly by the attachment so that the attachment does not inadvertently loosen from the motor. W50 After each procedure, properly clean and sterilize all reusable devices.

Do not use low-temperature hydrogen peroxide gas plasma sterilization due to the lumen internal diameter and length restrictions. Do not use low-temperature liquid peracetic acid sterilization due to immersion procedure. Remove and discard tools and accessories following local regulations for disposal of contaminated materials. Do not use chlorine-based or corrosive cleaning agents such as bleach, lye, acetone, sodium hypochlorite or bleach, sodium hydroxide, formic acid, or solutions containing glutaraldehyde. Do not soak or submerge system devices. Do not use ultrasonic cleaners for system devices. Do not use a pneumatic motor without a lubricant/diffuser or oiler cartridge installed. Use only nylon cleaning brushes. Non-nylon cleaning brushes leave residue that may prevent the tool from being secured properly in the motor. The use of a washer-disinfector for cleaning may cause a degradation in performance. Do not expose these devices to sterilization temperatures greater than 137°C (279°F). Exposure to temperatures greater than 137°C (279°F) may impact the performance of the device and also the efficacy of the sterilization cycle. Do not modify device; performance could be diminished. When not operating the motor, eliminate accidental foot control activation. Do not operate the system without eye protection. Remove navigation spheres from tracker prior to cleaning and sterilization. Use the instrument tray and the rigid sterilization container for sterilizing the reusable devices only. Do not use the instrument tray and sterilization container for cleaning or disinfection of the reusable devices. Because of the variability in cleaning efficiencies and sterilizer operating parameters, all given parameters (temperature, time, et cetera) should be validated by persons who have training and expertise in sterilization processes. Deviation from the recommended sterilization processes is at the risk of the user facility. Do not use a lubricant/diffuser or oiler cartridge for more than one hour of drill time. Do not reuse or attempt to refill a lubricant/diffuser or oiler cartridge. It is a single-use product. Do not use a lubricant/diffuser or oiler cartridge if it appears to be damaged or if the inner foil seal is punctured. It is recommended that devices should be cleaned as soon as possible, preferably within 30 minutes following use to limit fixation of contaminants. The tracker is permanently affixed to the motor and should not be removed at any time. Do not remove tracker from the motor. Do not use the PCU to operate systems other than the Midas Rex™ devices. Do not carry PCU by the N2 DISS pressure hose. Do not disassemble equipment before gas pressure is released from PCU and associated hoses. Ensure the adapter is fully threaded onto the regulator hose and fully threaded/connected to the corresponding wall outlet before operating the pneumatic system.

Variable exposure straight and angled attachments The variable exposure attachments allow the user to vary the exposure of the tool by adjusting the attachment tube. Match the color band on the attachment to the color code on the dissecting tool packaging. Warning: Surgeons should familiarize themselves with the performance of dissecting tools before use and should explore the effect of various levels of tool exposure on dissection stability. If the tool exhibits excessive chatter, vibration, or movement, decrease the tool exposure. Notes: • For fixed and variable straight attachments, the tool is locked in the motor collet. On fixed and variable angled attachments, the tool is locked in the attachment collet. • There is a rotatable dial on the variable exposure attachment, not included on the fixed attachment. • Dissecting tool size and geometry may contribute to excessive vibration at certain speeds. Increase or decrease speed by adjusting the foot or finger lever, or by changing the IPC™ system speed setting. If necessary, use a different dissecting tool. • Do not use the variable exposure attachment if the tube adjustment dial spins freely or fails to click into place with each adjustment, as the exposure may change without warning. • Do not use the end of the tube as a depth gauge or depth stop. • Make sure that the tool and attachment are still locked after making any adjustments to the tool exposure on variable exposure attachments. If the attachment is unlocked, the system will not function. If the tool is unlocked, it can cause reduced speed and overheating. Assembly: 1. Assemble the variable exposure straight attachment using the Straight attachment assembly instructions and the variable exposure angled attachments using the Angled attachment assembly instructions. 2. After assembly, use the tube adjustment ring to adjust the exposure of the dissecting tool (Figure 22).With the tool pointing away from you, turn the ring to the right to increase the length of the tube, thereby decreasing the exposure of the tool. Turn the ring to the left to decrease the length of the tube, thereby increasing the exposure of the tool. Disassembly: Remove the variable exposure straight attachment using the Straight attachment disassembly instructions and the variable exposure angled attachments using the Angled attachment disassembly instructions.

Pneumatic Stealth-Midas™ MR8™ system reprocessing instructions Cleaning is the removal of organic soil. Effective cleaning: • Minimizes the organic soil transfer from one patient to another. • Prevents accumulation of residual soil throughout the device’s useful life. • Allows for successful follow-up sterilization. Adequate reprocessing is contingent upon the thoroughness of cleaning. Cleaning is the initial step. Sterilization occurs later in reprocessing and is intended to kill microorganisms to reduce the likelihood of transmission and possibilities of infection. To ensure acceptable reprocessing, there should be no delay between the cleaning, inspection, and sterilization. Blood-borne pathogens - Universal precautions for handling this device after use should be observed by all hospital personnel according to OSHA standard 29 CFR 1910.1030, occupational exposure to blood-borne pathogens. Warnings and precautions

Limitations on reprocessing
Dispose of attachments in accordance with hospital, administrative, or government policies. Due to safety and environmental concerns, Medtronic requests the return of pneumatic motors for proper disposal at the end of the product useful life. End of useful life is normally determined by wear and damage due to use. Note: See the “Maintenance, inspection, and testing” section in this document to determine if the device is at its end of useful life.
Point of use
Reprocessing begins at the point of use. Do not allow blood, debris, or bodily fluids to dry on the device. Remove excess soil using running, cold tap water 10–22°C (50–72°F). Tap water is defined as potable water with hardness value between 0.7 mmol/L to 2.0 mmol/L.
Containment and transportation
Precaution: It is recommended that devices should be cleaned as soon as possible, preferably within 30 minutes following use to limit fixation of contaminants. If the device cannot be reprocessed immediately, keep the device moist during transport. It is recommended that devices are reprocessed as soon as is practical following use. To prolong the life of the device, reprocess immediately after use.
Do not remove tracker from the motor. Do not disassemble the pneumatic system before the gas is released from the PCU. Remove navigation spheres from tracker and discard before cleaning and sterilization. Do not soak or submerge pneumatic system devices. Do not use ultrasonic cleaners for pneumatic system devices. Do not use chlorine-based or corrosive cleaning agents such as bleach, lye, acetone, sodium hypochlorite or bleach, sodium hydroxide, formic acid, or solutions containing glutaraldehyde. • Use only nylon cleaning brushes.
