Bone Mill Attachment
The Legend Bone Mill attachment is composed of a non sterile base and gamma-sterilized, single use disposable components. The gamma-sterilized single use disposable components consist of one bowl, one cap (with LOW and HIGH settings), and one spatula. A Legend or MR7 motor provides the power to drive the Bone Mill attachment. The Bone Mill attachment is intended to mill bone into particles 1 to 5mm in size.
WARNINGS:
Do not operate the Bone Mill attachment without the bowl, and cap secured in place.
Do not come in contact with the interior of the disposable bowl and cap during bone milling.
Do not use the Bone Mill disposable components for more than one surgical procedure, as this may cause cross-contamination and aect patient safety.
Use only Legend/MR7 motors and Legend Bone Mill disposables in combination with the Bone Mill attachment. Use of other devices will void the manufacturer’s warranty.

Using the Bone Mill Attachment
1. Place the bowl onto Bone Mill base and secure the latches.
2. Lay harvested bone specimens into the bowl.
CAUTIONS:
The addition of any liquid to the milling process should be administered in small volumes to prevent leakage.
Do not use Bone Mill disposables to process more than 6 bone pieces approximately 1.5 cc in size at one time.
Do not use Bone Mill disposables to process more than a total of 40 cc of bone during any one surgical procedure.
3. Secure the cap onto the bowl by rotating counterclockwise. Do not activate the Bone Mill Attachment without securing the cap.
4. Use the HIGH cap position when starting with large pieces of bone or large batch amounts. Use the LOW cap position to nish milling a batch or when starting with small pieces or batch amounts (Figure 58).
5. Insert the motor into the motor connection on the Bone Mill base and rotate the motor to the position (Figure 59).
6. Activate the motor to mill bone. Continue to run the Bone Mill Attachment until desired bone particle size is achieved. Adjust motor speed to obtain desired particle size.
Figure 59: Inserting the Motor
40
NOTE: If bone does not process, deactivate the motor, rotate the motor to the position, and remove the cap. Reinsert the cap in the HIGH position and activate the motor. If bone spins without milling or jams, divide bone chunks into two batches and process separately.
7. Process the bone for 5–15 seconds and visually check to gauge quality of milling before continuing.
8. Continue to process bone in 5–15 second batches until the majority of particles reach desired size.
9. To remove bone particles stop operation of the motor and rotate it to the position. Remove the cap by rotating it clockwise. Use the spatula inside the bowl and cap to remove bone particles.
NOTES:
Milling time is dependent on the density of the patient’s bone, the ratio of cancellous and cortical bone, the size of the individual particles and the batch amount of the bone to be processed. Always check bone after 10–15 seconds to gauge quality of milling.
Appendix A—Specialized Attachments
If the blade becomes inoperable, stop operation of the motor and rotate the motor to the position. Remove the cap and use the spatula to free bone and/or blades.
After removing bone particles from the bowl, the milling process may be repeated with additional bone specimens, as needed. (Up to a total of 40 cc of bone may be processed by the Bone Mill Disposable during any one surgical procedure.)
After Use
1. Rotate the motor to the position.
2. Unlatch the Bone Mill disposables from the base.
3. Discard the bowl, cap, and spatula per hospital procedure.
4. Clean the Bone Mill base according to the directions below.
5. Clean the motor according to its instruction manual. Bone Mill bowl, cap, and spatula are single use devices. Opened but unused Bone Mill disposables may not be re-sterilized under any sterilization method.
Preventative Maintenance
The Bone Mill Attachment should be returned for factory maintenance annually (approximately 100 procedures). If the Bone Mill Attachment does not function according to these instructions, call your Medtronic Regional Distributor or Medtronic Neurologic Sales Representative. If necessary, return the Bone Mill Attachment base to your Distributor or Sales Representative to be repaired.
