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 aect 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.

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.
