Instructions for Use
IPS® Implants Forearm Reconstruction
Danger of infections from chips or fragments produced during implant machining!
• Ensure that no material particles or chippings of the implant and/or the instruments enter the patient's
body during processing.
• Impurities (e.g. fragments) on the implant, instruments, the surgical periphery or the surgical team
caused by the machining process must be removed by suitable measures (e.g. by washing in sterile
water, changing the surgical gloves) before any contact with the patient.
• Should the system fail and the implant and/or instrument break during the surgery, all fragments must
be removed from the situs. Otherwise, there is risk of foreign body reactions or migration with resulting
soft tissue damage.
Danger of injury and/or system failure in case of improper use!
Improper use and/or modification of the implant system can result in system failure and injuries.
Damage reduces the load-bearing capacity and may lead to breakage.
Only the documentation of the products used during the surgery ensures clear traceability of the products used.
• Document the products used during the surgery together with the case-specific data, in particular the
case number, in the patient record.
