Intended use The Emitter Holder and Emitter Holder Clamp are intended to hold the Mobile Emitter stationary during procedures using the Medtronic Navigation Computer Assisted Surgery System.
Indications for use The StealthStation™System is intended as an aid for precisely locating anatomical structures in either open or percutaneous procedures. The StealthStation™System is indicated for any medical condition in which the use of stereotactic surgery may be appropriate, and where reference to a rigid anatomical structure such as the skull, a long bone, or vertebra can be identified relative to a CT- or MR-based model, fluoroscopy images, or digitized landmarks of the anatomy
Contraindications Medical conditions which contraindicate the use of a Medtronic computer-assisted surgery system and its associated applications include any medical conditions which may contraindicate the medical procedure itself.
Material composition Material contained in product that can cause an allergic reaction: nickel. For additional materials of concern information such as REACH, CA Prop 65, or other product stewardship programs, go to www.medtronic.com/productstewardship.

Precautions Caution: The Emitter Holder and Emitter Holder Clamp are not sterile and cannot be sterilized. Sterilization may cause the device to malfunction. Caution: Properly clean the Emitter Holder and Emitter Holder Clamp prior to first use and after each use. Caution: The Emitter Holder and Emitter Holder Clamp are not intended for patient contact and should be bagged or draped if placed in sterile field. Do not adjust emitter arm joints when tightened as this may cause unexpected patient contact with non-biocompatible material. Caution: Do not disassemble the Emitter Holder or the Emitter Holder Clamp. Caution: Do not use the Emitter Holder or the Emitter Holder Clamp if any components appear to be bent or otherwise damaged. Caution: Refer to applicable software pocket guide and system level manuals for additional instructions, warnings, and cautions.
Setup and use Exact placement of the holder depends on many factors including the type of table, procedure, patient location, and patient size. Use a configuration that suits your situation. For best results follow these practices. 1. Clean the Emitter Holder and Emitter Holder Clamp before each use. 2. Attach the Emitter Holder to the OR table or the system cart by sliding the Emitter Holder Clamp over the end of the mounting rail. 3. Insert the holder post into the clamp and tighten the handle. 4. Loosen the two ball joint tightening knobs and position the holder. a. Orient the ball joints as far away from the Mobile Emitter’s electromagnetic field as possible. b. Position the holder so that it is at least 20 cm above the OR table and points toward the trackers. c. Make sure that no part of the holder extends into the Mobile Emitter’s electromagnetic field. 5. Tighten the two ball joint knobs. Warning: Always loosen the knobs before adjusting the Emitter Holder. 6. Place the Mobile Emitter in the cradle and run the cord through the notch in the cradle.
Cleaning the emitter holder and emitter holder clamp 1. Wipe and clean the exterior surfaces of the emitter holder and emitter holder clamp with a moistened low-level disinfectant wipe per the manufacturer’s instructions. Caution: Damage may result if the device is cleaned with sodium hypochlorite (bleach). 2. If disinfection is desired, make sure that the surface to be disinfected remains in contact with the disinfectant for the specified contact time as directed by the manufacturer. • The contact time refers to the minimum amount of time the surface needs to remain visibly wet.
3
• Use additional wipes, if needed, to maintain continuous contact time with the disinfectant. 3. Examine the surfaces for visible soil. If soil is present, repeat cleaning. 4. Wipe the external surfaces with a clean wipe moistened with water or 70% isopropyl alcohol to remove disinfectant residue. 1: Table 1: Compatible cleaner and disinfectant chemistries Disinfectant type Quaternary ammonium germicidal detergent solution
