After Completion of the Surgical Procedure

Danger of injury and/or system failure in case of improper behavior of the patient!
Improper postoperative behavior of the patient can lead to system failure or injuries of the patient.
Observe the following:
• Instruct patient and give postoperative care.
• All physical activities that can affect the implant system or the bone elements that are connected to it
must be refrained from during the entire duration of the treatment. This applies especially to the
carrying of heavy loads (danger of falling) and sporting activities that may involve impacts or blows.
Danger of burns or unintentional movement of the implant as well as possible misinterpretation of the
examination upon use of MRI!
Due to the continuous development and increasing energy density of MRI devices, a negative effect on the
implants and patients cannot be ruled out for the future.
In case of doubt, MRI examination is not allowed before damage to the health of the patient has been
excluded.
Possible dangers are heating or migration of implants reacting to the magnetic field. Metal implants can
furthermore cause disturbing artifacts in computer tomography (CT) as well as in magnet resonance
imaging (MRI).
The implants are usually intended for temporary use in the body and should be removed after completion
of the healing process. Regarding the postoperative treatment of the patient, the decision as to whether
the implant should be left inside the body or removed is the responsibility of the attending physician.
After completion of the surgical procedure, reusable products must be fed into processing.
Explanted and/or contaminated products intended for single use must not be reprocessed or reused.
They must be disposed of after completion of the surgical procedure.
