Tool and disposable components
W52 Tool utes are sharp and may perforate surgical gloves. Tool stems may be grasped with a hemostat to aid in installation and removal. Use methods at the
operative site to control bleeding that do not compromise patient safety during surgery.
W53 Keep the cutting area of the tool away from ngers and loose clothing to prevent laceration of user and cross-contamination through compromised glove.
W54 A tool’s size and geometry may create excessive vibration at certain speeds. Increase or decrease speed of the motor to prevent vibration. Change to a new
tool to prevent unintended tissue removal from patient.
W55 Excessive noise from the tool when drilling close to the cochlea or ossicular chain may cause patient hearing damage.
W56 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.
W57 Excessive pressure applied to tool may cause tool fracture. Should a tool fracture in use, extreme care must be exercised to ensure that all fragments of the tool
are removed from the patient. Unremoved tool fragments may cause tissue damage to the patient.
W58 Do not sterilize disposable devices. They are sterilized at the factory and are not intended for repeat use. To prevent contamination, use only once.

Cautions
C1 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.
C2 Remove devices from instrument case before placing into washer-disinfector and allow devices to drain. Orient devices in the washer-disinfector by following
manufacturer recommendations.
C3 Do not use low-temperature hydrogen peroxide gas plasma sterilization due to the lumen internal diameter and length restrictions.
C4 Do not use low-temperature liquid peracetic acid sterilization due to immersion procedure.
C5 Remove and discard accessories following local regulations for disposal of contaminated materials.
C6 Do not soak or submerge MR8 system devices.
C7 Do not use ultrasonic cleaners for MR8 system devices.
C8 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.
C9 Use only nylon cleaning brushes. Non-nylon cleaning brushes leave residue that may prevent the tool from being secured properly in the motor.
C10 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 ecacy of the sterilization cycle.
C11 Because of the variability in cleaning eciencies 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.
C12 Remove devices from instrument case before placing into washer disinfector and allow devices to drain. Orient devices in the washer-disinfector by following
manufacturer recommendations.
C13 Devices should be cleaned within 30 minutes (30:00) of use to limit xation of contaminants.
C14 Do not remove tracker from the motor.

Electric Stealth-Midas MR8 system reprocessing instructions
Cleaning is the removal of organic soil. Eective 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.

Option 1: Wrap the instrument tray for sterilization:
• The user facility is responsible for using only accessories (such as sterilization wraps, chemical indicators, and biological indicators) that are
cleared and labeled for the validated sterilization parameters specied in this Instructions for Use by the Food and Drug Administration for
medical facilities in the U.S.A. and its territories, or conform to EN ISO 11607 for medical facilities outside of the U.S.A. and its territories.
• The instrument tray should be wrapped with two layers of 1-ply polypropylene wrap using a sequential envelope technique. For use
in the USA, an FDA-cleared wrap should be used.
Option 2: Place the instrument tray into the rigid sterilization container:
1. Use one lter (Case Medical SCF01) for the rigid sterilization container’s lid and use two lters (Case Medical SCF01) for the 3/4 DIN
size rigid sterilization container’s base.
a. Place the lter over the perforations in the lid and place a lter retention plate over the lter.
b. Secure the lter retention plate by pushing downwards at the center and rotating the handles until you hear them click (Figure 33).
2. Place a rack around the lter plates (Figure 34).
3. Place the instrument tray with the lid on into the rigid sterilization container (Figure 35).
Note: Use only the 3/4 DIN CA875 instrument tray with the 3/4 DIN rigid sterilization container.
4. Close the rigid sterilization container and apply labels and seals.
a. On both sides of the rigid sterilization container, position the top of the latch over the ridge in the lid and push the bottom
section of the latch in toward the rigid sterilization container (Figure 36). You will feel a solid click.
b. Place the appropriate metal ID tags in the label holders located on either side of the rigid sterilization container latches (Figure 37).
Note: Use only the approved tamper-evident seals (Case Medical SCS01B). Using a nonapproved tamper-evident seal could damage
the locking clip.
5. Place the container at on the shelf of the sterilizer cart.

SterilizationWarnings:
• Do not attempt to run the MR8 motors immediately after autoclaving. Allow an adequate cooling period after steam sterilization.
• 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.
• Use the instrument tray and the rigid sterilization container for sterilization only. The MR8 system devices must be cleaned separate
from the trays.
• Devices cannot be sterilized to an adequate Sterility Assurance Level (SAL) without prior cleaning and decontamination.
Cautions:
• 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 ecacy of the sterilization cycle.
• Because of the variability in cleaning eciencies 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.
Notes:
• The instructions provided have been validated by the manufacturer as being capable of preparing the product for reuse. It remains
the responsibility of the processor to ensure that the reprocessing as actually performed, using equipment, materials, and personnel
in the reprocessing facility achieves the desired result. This normally requires validation and routine monitoring of the process.
• Load the parts into the sterilizer by following the sterilizer manufacturer’s recommended loading procedures and load congurations.
• These sterilization instructions have been validated to a sterility assurance level of 10-6.
• The recommended sterilization parameters are only valid with CE-marked equipment that is properly maintained and calibrated.
• Steam for sterilization should be generated from water that has been treated to remove total dissolved solids, ltered to remove
contaminants and water droplets, and supplied via piping without deadlegs or other stagnant zones where contamination might
collect. Steam saturation should be greater than 97%.

in such a way that the sterile package is not compromised.
1. Before you open the container, make sure that:
a. You have selected the correct rigid sterilization container.
b. The tamper-evident seals are intact.
2. Unlatch the container.
3. Use the ring on top of the lid to remove the lid. Using the ring avoids contaminating the container’s contents.
4. Remove the tray of devices and place it in the sterile eld.
