Notes:

• Tap the top of the awl handle until the indicator line

on the awl reaches the bone surface.

• To drill, place the distal tip of the recommended drill

bit onto the bone surface at the desired implantation

site. Advance the drill bit until the etch mark on the

drill bit reaches the bone surface.

• Tap the top of the awl-dilator handle until the threads

reach the bone surface. To ensure full insertion into

the bone, rotate the device clockwise until the laser

mark is flush with the surface of the bone.

3. Remove the awl from the insertion site by tapping lightly

on the underside of the handle.

4. Remove the awl-dilator from the insertion site by rotating

the device counterclockwise.

5. Establish axial alignment of the suture anchor to the

insertion site. While supporting the insertion site,

rotate the anchor clockwise into the insertion site with

the insertion device using a two-finger AO technique.

Continue rotating the anchor until desired placement is

confirmed by visual inspection.

Notes:

• The horizontal indicator line on the tip of the

insertion device identifies the top of the anchor.

Inserting the device to the top of the horizontal line

places the anchor approximately 1 mm below the

bone surface.

• Axial lines on the insertion device indicate suture

orientation within the anchor.

CAUTION: Use of excessive force during insertion can

cause failure of the suture anchor or insertion device. Use

a two-finger AO technique to insert the anchor.

If more torque is required to insert the anchor, stop and

ensure that the hole size and depth are correct for the

bone conditions encountered.

6. Disengage the inserter from the suture anchor.

Hold the handle securely in the palm and pull back

on the finger grips with two fingers to retract the

suture tensioning mechanism.

ii. While holding the tensioning mechanism in the back

position with the finger grips, slowly remove the

inserter from the insertion site until the suture tips

are visible. The suture releases and feeds through

the inserter as it is removed.

iii. If necessary, remove the inserter from the implant

by tapping lightly on the underside of the handle.

Alternatively:

Pull back on the finger grips and unwind the suture

with the free hand.

ii. Slowly remove the inserter.

iii. As the inserter is removed, pinch the suture below

the inserter using the free hand to verify suture

release from the inserter.

CAUTION: Do not use sharp instruments to manage

or control the suture.

7. Discard the insertion device.

CAUTION: After use, this device may be a potential

biohazard and should be handled in accordance with

accepted medical practice and applicable local and

national requirements.
