Indications for Use
These instructions for use are intended for reusable surgical
instruments labeled with the CareFusion, V. Mueller
Neuro/Spine name comprising fixed assemblies (no moving
parts), simple hinged, and self-locking surgical instruments,
including those containing aluminum used to hold the edges of
a wound open during neuro-surgery.
These devices are sold individually, and sold as a set configured
in a Genesis sterilization container or a V. Mueller storage
container.
NOTE: Instructions provided are specific to any of the
configurations. Follow the appropriate instructions for your
configuration.
How Supplied
V. Mueller devices are packaged as non-sterile. Cleaning and
sterilization must occur prior to use.
Limitations on Reprocessing
Repeated reprocessing has minimal effect on these devices.
End of life is normally determined by wear and damage due to
use.
Warnings
Devices shall be used in accordance with these instructions for
use. Read all sections of this insert prior to use. Improper use
of this device may cause serious injury. In addition, improper
care and maintenance of the device may render the device non-
sterile prior to patient use and cause a serious injury to the
patient or health care provider.
Color-anodized aluminum instruments may lose their color if
machine cleaning and sterilization methods are used.
Always select the proper blade or hook length by first determining
the depth of the wound using depth guide or calipers. Use the
shortest blade or hook necessary to fit the wound.
NOTE: The depth gauge is not intended to be an accurate
measuring device. It is intended to be used as an aid in
determining the approximate blade length to use in surgery.
Ensure that at least 1/2 (half) of the blade is loaded (inside the
wound) at all times.
The self-retaining hinged retractor frame is designed to lie flush
on the back.
Cautions
If there are any variations between these instructions and either
your facility's policies and/or your cleaning/sterilization
equipment manufacturer's instructions, those variations should
be brought to the attention of the appropriate responsible
hospital personnel for resolution before proceeding with
cleaning and sterilizing your devices.
Use of device for a task other than that for which it is intended
will usually result in a damaged or broken device.
Prior to use, inspect device to ensure proper function and
condition. Do not use devices if they do not satisfactorily
perform their intended function or have physical damage.
