W45 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.
W46 Use the instrument tray and the rigid sterilization container for sterilization only. The MR8 system devices must be cleaned separate from the trays.
W47 Devices cannot be sterilized to an adequate Sterility Assurance Level (SAL) without prior cleaning and decontamination.
System hoses
W48 Do not pinch, kink, obstruct, cut, tear, or step on the motor exhaust hose. This may cause the hose to burst, potentially injuring the patient or user.
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.

The Midas Rex MR8 pneumatic high-speed drill system
W53 Consult the cranial perforator manufacturer device labeling for the recommended speed specications.
W54 Tools with “L” identication are longer tools intended for light bone dissection. The increased tool head/stem conguration may aect 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.
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 eectiveness 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.
Pneumatic control unit
W62 Do not carry pneumatic control unit by the N2 DISS pressure hose.
W63 Do not disassemble equipment before gas pressure is released from the pneumatic control unit and associated hoses.
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 dissecting tool at an operating pressure over 80 psi (5.5 bar).
C3 Use of a washer-disinfector for cleaning may cause a pre-mature degradation in performance.
C4 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.
C5 Do not use low-temperature hydrogen peroxide gas plasma sterilization due to the lumen internal diameter and length restrictions.
C6 Do not use low-temperature liquid peracetic acid sterilization due to immersion procedure.
C7 Remove and discard accessories following local regulations for disposal of contaminated materials.
C8 Do not use an MR8 motor without a lubricant/diuser or oiler cartridge installed.
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 Do not use a lubricant/diuser or oiler cartridge for more than one hour of drill time.
C11 Do not reuse or attempt to rell a lubricant/diuser or oiler cartridge. It is a single-use product.
C12 Do not use a lubricant/diuser or oiler cartridge if it appears to be damaged or if the inner foil seal is punctured.
C13 Devices should be cleaned within 30 minutes (30:00) of use to limit xation of contaminants.
C14 Do not use ultrasonic cleaner. Review the washer-disinfector cautions before using this cleaning method.
C15 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.
C16 Because of the variability in cleaning eciencies 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.

MR8 pneumatic high-speed system components
The MR8 pneumatic drill system is made of various system elements that work together as a system in order to resect, drill, or saw soft and hard tissue, bone, and
biomaterials, and metals during various surgical procedures. The MR8 pneumatically powered, high-speed drill system consists of a choice of various pneumatic
motors (pneumatic exhaust hose and the motor) equipped with a foot or nger controller, PCU, surgical dissecting tools, attachments to drive various surgical tools,
and system accessories.
MR8 pneumatic motors
The MR8 system consists of pneumatic motors (Figures 1 - 2) which are high-speed, high-torque motors used to dissect bone and biomaterials. The MR8 system
operates in a range from 80 to 120 psi. These motors are equipped with a foot or nger controller and various types of interchangeable attachments and dissecting
tools. Each pneumatic motor has an integral exhaust hose. The exhaust hose connects the pneumatic motor to the pneumatic foot control and exhausts gas from the
motor through a lubricant diuser. Each MR8 motor has a lubricant/diuser and oiler cartridge housing at the end of the exhaust hose. A regulator hose connects the
foot controller to the gas supply source.
The MR8 pneumatic motors provide the power to operate disposable surgical dissecting tools, intended for use in various surgical procedures. These motors are designed
to interface with a series of attachments and surgical dissecting tools utilizing a standard quick-connect and quick-disconnect locking and unlocking mechanism.
The MR8 pneumatic motors can be controlled either by using the foot pedal or through the nger control mechanism. The nger-controlled pneumatic motors operate in
the same manner as the foot-controlled pneumatic motors. Pressing the nger control increases the speed and letting go of the nger control reduces the speed to a stop.
The MR8 pneumatic motors are reusable devices which are supplied non-sterile and require cleaning and sterilization prior to each surgical use.
Each MR8 motor has a lubricant/diuser housing at the end of the motor hose.

Operating (dynamic) pressure may be checked diagnostically at the MR8 pneumatic control unit while the motor is running. Operating pressure will decrease slightly
from the non-running (static) pressure setting when the motor is activated. Adjust operating pressure as needed at the compressed gas source until supply pressure
gauge on MR8 pneumatic control unit reads within a range of 80 – 120 psi (5.5 –8.3 bar), as required.
To ensure optimal motor performance, set nominal operating pressure to 100 psi (6.9 bar). If the surgeon requests additional power during a procedure, compressed
gas source may be turned up to an operating pressure of 120 psi (8.3 bar). To decrease pressure, turn down the in-house compressed gas source or loosen the
pressure handle on the regulator. Push down on the pressure relief at the pneumatic control unit to exhaust excess pressure.

The CA850 instrument tray holds MR8 attachments and/or other MR8 system equipment (Figures 31 and 32) to be sterilized and is placed inside a rigid sterilization
container or wrapped for steam sterilization.
Note: The instrument tray can also hold one of the following motors: MR8 pneumatic motor (PM800) and the MR8 pneumatic touch motor (PM810).
The rigid sterilization container is a sterilization containment device designed to hold MR8 system equipment for sterilization, storage, transportation, and aseptic
presentation of its contents (Figure 33). This container is available in a 3/4 DIN size.
The system consists of a base with carrying handles and lid that is secured to the base by means of a latching mechanism. The instrument tray holds MR8 attachments
and/or other MR8 system equipment to be sterilized and is placed inside the rigid sterilization container as shown in Figure 34. A lter system is incorporated in the
sterilization container to provide for air evacuation and sterilant penetration during the sterilization cycle and to act as a barrier to microorganisms during storage,
handling, and transport.

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.

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, 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 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.
Return policy for devices exposed to TSE (transmissible spongiform encephalopathies)
Reusable devices that have been used on patients with suspected Creutzfeldt-Jakob Disease (CJD) or other TSEs should be quarantined and not reused until a diagnosis is
conrmed or excluded. The Neurosurgery Group will not authorize or accept the return of Medtronic products that directly contacted a patient or are contaminated with a
patient’s body uids that is suspected or conrmed with TSE or CJD diagnosis. Furthermore, Medtronic recommends that all Medtronic product used on a patient conrmed
with or suspected of a TSE/CJD diagnosis be incinerated. If TSE/CJD is excluded as a diagnosis, the quarantined reusable equipment may be returned for use after appropriate
cleaning, decontamination and sterilization. Hospital personnel should contact their infection control personnel for current procedures and policy for reusable equipment
processing. Contact your sales representative for temporary equipment while original equipment is quarantined or for replacement of product incinerated under this policy.
