Clinical use

2.1

Areas of use and limitations of use

2.1.1

Intended use

The AtRactor – Atraumatic Retraction System is used in median sternotomy to acquire access and enable the preparation of the mammary artery. It consists of an atraumatic retractor and a Mammaria retraction system to lift the retractor. For optimum adaptation to the patient, the blades of the retractor are movable on the blade arms and the blade arm is also swivel-mounted. This enables an atraumatic, V-shaped opening of the sternum. Suture holder FC135SU can be used in combination with the retractor.

2.1.2

Indications

Note The manufacturer is not responsible for any use of the product against the specified indications and/or the described applications. For indications, see Intended use.

2.1.3

Contraindications

No known contraindications.

Validated reprocessing procedure

3.1

General safety instructions

Note Adhere to national statutory regulations, national and international standards and directives, and local, clinical hygiene instructions for sterile processing. Note For patients with Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease (CJD), suspected CJD or possible variants of CJD, observe the relevant national regulations concerning the reprocessing of products. Note Mechanical reprocessing should be favored over manual cleaning as it gives better and more reliable results. Note Successful processing of this medical device can only be ensured if the processing method is first validated. The operator/sterile processing technician is responsible for this. Note If there is no final sterilization, then a virucidal disinfectant must be used. Note For up-to-date information about reprocessing and material compatibility, see B. Braun eIFU at eifu.bbraun.com The validated steam sterilization procedure was carried out in the Aesculap sterile container system.

3.2

General information

Dried or affixed surgical residues can make cleaning more difficult or ineffective and lead to corrosion. Therefore the time interval between application and processing should not exceed 6 h; also, neither fixating pre-cleaning temperatures >45 °C nor fixating disinfecting agents (active ingredient: aldehydes/alcohols) should be used. Excessive measures of neutralizing agents or basic cleaners may result in a chemical attack and/or to fading and the laser marking becoming unreadable visually or by machine for stainless steel. Residues containing chlorine or chlorides e.g. in surgical residues, medicines, saline solutions and in the service water used for cleaning, disinfection and sterilization will cause corrosion damage (pitting, stress corrosion) and result in the destruction of stainless steel products. These must be removed by rinsing thoroughly with demineralized water and then drying. Additional drying, if necessary. Only process chemicals that have been tested and approved (e.g. VAH or FDA approval or CE mark) and which are compatible with the product’s materials according to the chemical manufacturers’ recommendations may be used for processing the product. All the chemical manufacturer's application specifications must be strictly observed. Failure to do so can result in the following problems: ■ Optical changes of materials, e.g. fading or discoloration of titanium or aluminum. For aluminum, the application/process solution only needs to be of pH >8 to cause visible surface changes. ■ Material damage such as corrosion, cracks, fracturing, premature aging or swelling. ► Do not use metal cleaning brushes or other abrasives that would damage the product surfaces and could cause corrosion. ► Further detailed advice on hygienically safe and material-/value-preserving reprocessing can be found at www.ak-i.org, link to "AKI-Brochures", "Red brochure".

3.3

Reusable products

Influences of the reprocessing which lead to damage to the product are not known. A careful visual and functional inspection before the next use is the best opportunity to recognize a product that is no longer functional, see Inspection.

3.4

Preparations at the place of use

► If applicable, rinse non-visible surfaces preferably with deionized water, with a disposable syringe for example. ► Remove any visible surgical residues to the extent possible with a damp, lint-free cloth. ► Transport the dry product in a sealed waste container for cleaning and disinfection within 6 hours.

3.5

Preparing for cleaning

► Disassemble the product immediately after use, as described in the respective instructions for use. ► Disassemble the product prior to cleaning, see Disassembly.

to the opposite blade, see Fig. C. Note The lock positions 6 on the blade arms 3 will help to position the blades, see Fig. A. ► Close the retractor as far as the stop, see Fig. E. ► After inserting the retractor in the sternum, open the retractor again slightly and move the blades 7 on the blade

arms 3 into the required lock position 6. Observe the following: – For an atraumatic V-shaped opening of the sternum, it is recommended to position the blades 7 at equal distances from the swivel joint 4, see Fig. D. – For optimum viewing conditions for preparing the mammary artery, the blades 7 must lie exactly under the sternum bone.

3.12.2 Mounting the table fixation Note The table fixation must be placed on the side of the patient on which the mammary artery is to be prepared. If both mammary arteries are to be prepared, one table fixation is needed on each side of the operating table. Note If the operating table is too narrow, we recommend using an additional rail. ► Attach the table fixation over the surgical drape on the operating table rail. Position it on the table rail so that

it is in line with in the middle of the patient's sternum. To mount the table fixation: – Open the straining screw 15 of the clamp 16, see Fig. F. – Mount the clamp 16 on the operating table rail and screw the straining screw 15 tight. ► When adjusting the operating table: – Retract the adjustment pins 13 of the table fixation. – Align the rail 11 of the table fixation horizontally. – Lock the table fixation in place by releasing the adjustment pins 13.

3.12.3 Mounting the retraction system ► Use the height adjustment screw 19 to lower the retraction system to the lowest height level, see Fig. G. ► Place the retraction system as vertically as possible on one of the stops 10 of the table fixation in the area of

the recess 12 with the insertion attachment 22 on the rail 11, and move it to the middle of the rail 11, see Fig. I. The retraction system is fixated form-fit in the central area between the recesses 12. ► Raise the retraction system with the height adjustment screw 19, so that the grip padding 17 is about a hand's width above the patient's body.
