MR8 system description

MR8 electric motors

Electric motors provide power to operate interchangeable, disposable surgical dissecting tools. These motors are designed to interface with a series of attachments and surgical dissecting tools utilizing a standard quick-disconnect locking mechanism. Motors operate in the same manner whether controlled by a nger mechanism or FCU.

MR8 attachments

Attachments are designed to align the surgical tools with the motor to provide support and stability during various surgical procedures. Attachment options include regular (straight, and angled), variable exposure (straight and angled), footed (craniotomes), and telescoping attachments and tubes. There are a variety of specialty attachments, such as the perforator, Jacobs chuck, J-latch, and metal cutting that are also available. This allows exibility with the length and style of attachment for surgeries.

MR8 surgical dissecting tools

Surgical dissecting tools are designed and intended to resect, drill, or saw soft and hard tissue, bone, biomaterials, and metals during various surgical procedures. The surgical dissecting tools vary in length and the distal tips of the tools vary in shape and style. The tip designs include the following universal shapes: acorn, match head, ball or round, cylinder, oval, and tapered or side-cutting. Specialized tools such as metal cutters, twist drills, hole-makers, hole saws, and reverse tapered tools are also available.

Contraindications

None.

Caution: A caution indicates that there is a risk of damaging equipment. Note: A note is intended to provide additional information, which may be useful but is not essential to complete the procedure.

Warnings

System

W1 The MR8 system operator must be familiar with this Instructions for Use, the IPC User’s Guide, their precautions, procedures, and safety issues. W2 The MR8 system and its associated equipment should be used only by qualied medical professionals who are thoroughly trained and experienced in
performing surgery with Medtronic computer-assisted surgery systems. W3 Always inspect the components before and after use for any damage. If damage is observed, do not use damaged component until it is repaired by Medtronic or replaced. W4 Use adequate irrigation during dissection to prevent thermal necrosis. W5 Do not use an overheated device, as it may cause thermal injury to the patient or operator. W6 Heavy side loads and/or long operating periods may cause the device to overheat.
W6a Never place an overheated motor on the patient or draping during the surgery.
W6b Discontinue use and rest the motor by using it intermittently or wrap the motor/attachment interface with a moist sterile towel.
W6c If the motor is passed o, the receiver should grasp the motor by the proximal end close to the motor cable. W7 Do not use excessive force to pry or push bone with the attachment or dissecting tool during surgery. W8 Use only dissecting tools specically designed for use with this drill system. Match the nomenclature and color code on the MR8 dissecting tool packaging to
the same nomenclature and color band on the MR8 attachment. W9 Do not use the MR8 system without proper cleaning and sterilization. W10 Sterilize and dry the reusable device before storing. Decrease the likelihood of cross-contamination with timely sterilization. After each procedure, properly
clean and sterilize all reusable system components. W11 All service must be performed by Medtronic qualied personnel only.

W12 Employ visualization, including the use of imaging techniques (for example, uoroscopy, image guided surgery), when using rotating powered accessories.
Discontinue the powered application if visualization to the surgical site is lost.
W13 Do not attempt to remove a dissecting tool or attachment while the motor is running or when the motor or attachment is in an overheated state to prevent
laceration of the user and/or cross contamination through a compromised glove. W14 Do not immerse the system components, except when recommended by the cleaning instructions in this Instructions for Use. W15 The MR8 motors will not run unless the attachment is in the locked position. W16 Do not modify any components of the system; performance could be diminished. W17 Do not use the MR8 system if the motor continues to run after releasing the foot pedal or nger lever. W18 Do not place the motor, attachment, or dissecting tool on the patient or in an unsecured location during surgery. W19 Do not use an attachment and dissecting tool combination that results in tool ail or excessive vibration. W20 Do not attempt to run the MR8 motors immediately after autoclaving. Allow an adequate cooling period after steam sterilization. W21 Verify functionality prior to reuse:
W21a Conduct a visual inspection of the cables for cracks, tears, or corrosion.
W21b Check attachments for proper appearance. Install the attachment and dissecting tool, then briey run the motor.
W21c Check motor for overheating.
W21d Check attachment for overheating.
W21e Check dissecting tool for ail.
W21f Check for bent or missing pins in the cable connectors. W22 Do not place MR8 motor in the proximity of a magnetic eld, such as magnetic drape or Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) equipment, to avoid inadvertent
motor activation. W23 The MR8 system complies with IEC/EN60601-1-2, ed. 3.0 and ed. 4.0 safety standard for electromagnetic compatibility (EMC), requirements and test.
However, if this equipment is operated in the presence of high levels of electromagnetic interference (EMI) or highly sensitive equipment, interference may
be encountered, and the user should take whatever steps are necessary to eliminate or reduce the source of the interference. Diminished performance may
lengthen operating time for anesthetized patient. W24 Medical electrical equipment needs special precautions regarding EMC and needs to be installed and put into service according to the EMC information
provided in this system’s Instructions for Use. W25 Portable and mobile radio frequency (RF) communications equipment can aect medical electrical equipment. W26 Use of accessories other than those specied and sold by Medtronic may result in increased emissions and decreased EM immunity of this unit. W27 Do not use metal-cutting attachment or tools to cut/resect bone. W28 For metal transection, observe the following safety guidelines:
W28a Wear eye protection.
W28b Irrigate well to cool the cutting surfaces.
W28c Protect the wound site from metal debris.
W28d Use a clamp or grasping device to control loose fragments during transection of any metal component. W29 Do not use any parts other than Medtronic system components, as damage or substandard performance could result. W30 When using MR8 variable exposure attachments, surgeons should become familiar with the performance of dissecting tools before use and should explore the
eect of various levels of tool exposure on tool stability. If the tool exhibits excessive chatter, vibration, or movement, decrease the tool exposure. W31 Motors and attachments may fail due to extended use resulting in component(s) detaching and falling from the motor or attachment and may cause patient injury. W32 Electrical contacts must be dry prior to use. W33 When using the MR8 non-DK variable exposure attachments, ensure that the attachment is still in the locked position after each adjustment of the tool
exposure. Attempting to increase the tool exposure too far may result in the attachment accidentally being unlocked. W34 Remove MR8 footed attachments cautiously and slowly, as per instructions to avoid injury to the operator. W35 Excessive side loading could cause non-DK angled attachments to unlock accidentally from motor. W36 Place MR8 touch motor in Safe mode (“0”) while not in use. W37 When not operating the motor, eliminate accidental foot control activation. W38 Do not use the MR8 system in the presence of ammable anesthetics to avoid potential ignition or explosion of gases.
W39 Do not operate the MR8 system without eye protection. W40 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.
W41 Do not load more than one MR8 motor inside the instrument tray per sterilization cycle. W42 Do not wrap the rigid sterilization container. W43 Use the MR8 instrument tray and the rigid sterilization container for sterilizing the re-usable MR8 devices only. W44 Do not use alkaline cleaning for the instrument tray or the rigid sterilization container. W45 Use the instrument tray and the rigid sterilization container for sterilization only. The MR8 system devices must be cleaned separate from the trays. W46 Do not use the instrument tray and rigid sterilization container for cleaning or disinfection of the re-usable devices. W47 Devices cannot be sterilized to an adequate Sterility Assurance Level (SAL) without prior cleaning and decontamination.

System cables

W48 Do not use cables or power cables with cracks, tears, or corrosion.

Tools and disposable components

W49 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. W50 Keep the cutting area of the tool away from ngers and loose clothing to prevent laceration of the user and cross-contamination through a compromised glove. W51 A tool’s size and geometry may create excessive vibration at certain speeds. Increase or decrease the speed of the motor to prevent vibration. Change to a new
tool to prevent unintended tissue damage. W52 Excessive noise from the tool when drilling close to the cochlea or ossicular chain may cause patient hearing damage. W53 Consult the cranial perforator manufacturer device labeling for the recommended speed specications. W54 Tools with “L” identication are longer tools intended for light bone dissection. The increased tool head/stem conguration may aect dissection stability. W55 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.
2
The Midas Rex MR8 electric high-speed drill system
W56 Excessive pressure applied to a tool may cause tool fracture. Should a tool fracture in use, extreme care must be exercised to ensure that all the fragments of
the tool are removed from the patient. Unremoved tool fragments may cause tissue damage to the patient. W57 Do not sterilize disposable devices. They are sterilized at the factory and are not intended for repeat use. To prevent contamination, use only once. W58 Do not use an accessory if its packaging is damaged or opened outside the sterile eld. Sterility may be compromised if packaging is opened or damaged. W59 Do not use dull tools. Use of dull tools can reduce cutting eectiveness and can cause the motor temperature to increase. W60 Fluted tools are designed to be used in forward mode. Diamond tools may be used in forward or reverse modes. W61 Exposure of tool packaging to ambient light for extended periods of time may cause damage to packaging. W62 The MR8 system operator should take appropriate measures in ensuring that sensitive anatomy is protected during drilling and use of the MR8 system.

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 Do not use a twist drill at an operating speed over 62,000 rpm. C3 Remove devices from instrument tray before placing into washer-disinfector and allow devices to drain. Orient devices in the washer-disinfector by following
manufacturer recommendations. C4 Do not use low-temperature hydrogen peroxide gas plasma sterilization due to the lumen internal diameter and length restrictions. C5 Do not use low-temperature liquid peracetic acid sterilization due to immersion procedure. C6 Remove and discard accessories following local regulations for disposal of contaminated materials. C7 Do not soak or submerge MR8 system devices. C8 Do not use ultrasonic cleaners for MR8 system devices. C9 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. C10 Use only nylon cleaning brushes. Non-nylon cleaning brushes leave residue that may prevent the tool from being secured properly in the motor. C11 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 ecacy of the sterilization cycle. C12 Because of the variability in cleaning eciencies and sterilizer operating parameters, all given parameters (temperature, time, etcetera) 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. C13 Devices should be cleaned within 30 minutes (30:00) of use to limit xation of contaminants.

MR8 electric motors

The MR8 electric motor (Figure 6) is a smaller and more compact version of the MR8 electric plus motor (Figure 7). The MR8 electric touch motor (Figure 8) is a small compact motor that includes a rotating and removable nger lever.
The MR8 electric motors are high-speed, high-torque, reversible electric motors used to dissect bone and biomaterial at selectable speeds from 200 to 75,000 rpm. These motors are designed to interface with a series of interchangeable attachments and dissecting tools utilizing a standard locking mechanism. The MR8 electric motors provide the power to operate disposable surgical dissecting tools, intended for use in various surgical procedures.
The MR8 electric motors can be controlled either by using the FCU or through the nger control mechanism. The nger-controlled electric motors operate in the same manner as the foot-controlled electric motors. Pressing the nger control increases the speed and lifting o of the nger control reduces the speed to a stop. The electric motors are reusable devices that are supplied non-sterile and require cleaning and sterilization prior to each surgical use.
Note: All motor cables are integrated and cannot be removed from the motor.

MR8 attachments

Note: To assemble DK attachments, follow the instructions for the respective attachment. To disassemble DK attachments, push the attachment distally before rotating.
The attachments provide support and stability to the rotating surgical tools during use in various surgical procedures. The attachments are reusable devices, supplied non­sterile, and require cleaning and sterilization prior to each surgical use. Attachments feature a tool lock mechanism that secures and aligns the tool to the attachment. Arrow icons (Figure 16-1) are etched onto attachments and motors to guide the user to lock (Figure 16-2) or unlock (Figure 16-3) the attachment from the motor.
MR8 attachments are available in various designs, lengths, and diameters to facilitate a variety of surgical procedures. The attachments family includes a variety of MR8 standard attachments, xed and rotating footed (craniotomes), telescoping, and specialty attachments (metal cutters, Jacobs chuck, J-latch, and perforator attachments). MR8 standard attachments consist of straight and angled congurations, which are oered either as xed or variable exposure. The availability of the Medtronic attachments allows the surgeon exibility to choose the appropriate length and style for each type of surgical procedure, including minimal access surgeries. They are marked and color-coded to correspond with their associated dissecting tools. Angled and straight attachments with the same length, marking, and color band share the same dissecting tool. Telescoping tubes with the same length, marking, and color band also share the same dissecting tool.

MR8 system reprocessing instructions

Cleaning is the removal of organic soil. Eective 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.

Warnings and cautions

Limitations on reprocessing

Point of use Reprocessing begins at the point of use.

• Do not soak/submerge devices.
• Do not use ultrasonic cleaners to clean devices.
• Do not use chlorine-based or corrosive cleaning agents such as bleach, lye, acetone, sodium hypochlorite/bleach, sodium hydroxide, formic acid, or solutions containing glutaraldehyde.
• Allow an adequate cooling period after steam sterilization.
Note: Attachments and telescoping tubes may be disposed of at the end of their useful life according to local and national regulations. Due to safety and environmental concerns, Medtronic requests the return of electric high speed motors for proper disposal at the end of the product useful life.
End of useful life is normally determined by wear and damage due to use. See the “Maintenance, inspection, and testing” section in this document to determine if the device is at its end of useful life.
Do not allow blood, debris, or bodily uids to dry on the device. Remove excess soil using cold running tap water 10 - 22°C (50 - 72°F). Tap water is dened as potable water with hardness value between 0.7 mmol/l to 2.0 mmol/l.
Caution: Devices should be cleaned within 30 minutes of use to limit xation of contaminants. Do not place soiled instruments into the instrument case. Transport used devices in a separate container. If the device cannot be reprocessed immediately, keep the device moist during transport. It is recommended that devices are reprocessed as soon as is practical following use. To prolong the life of the device, reprocess immediately after use.

Sterilization Warnings:

• 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 ecacy of the sterilization cycle.
• Because of the variability in cleaning eciencies and sterilizer operating parameters, all given parameters (temperature, time, etcetera) 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 congurations.
• 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%.
