has locked.
• Ensure all cables are routed to avoid damage. Damaged cables must be replaced.
Failure to replace cables may result in injury to patient and/or health care staff.
• Single use stabilization kits are not to be reused or used if packaging has been
damaged. Failure to comply may result in patient injury and/or infection.
• If SPIDER2 motor runs continuously, or runs more than once per minute while in
locked state, disconnect patient and have product serviced.
• Do not allow fluids to enter the switch drape connection receptacle or the foot
pedal connection receptacle.
• Use Foot Pedal with Smith & Nephew products only.
• Do not use in AP = Anaesthesia proofed and G = Gas (AP, APG, IEC 60601-1), and
OEA = oxygen-enriched atmosphere environments.

in proximity too, and with other medical equipment. This equipment and the other
equipment should be observed to verify that they are operating normally.
• Abnormal performance, due to Electromagnetic Disturbances, may be manifested
by a failure to properly maintain positioning of the limb.
• High Frequency (HF) Interference: This equipment was designed and tested to be
used with HF Electrical Surgical Unit (ESU) equipment.
• Essential Performance. Hydraulic pressure cannot drop unexpectedly without
adequate notice so that practitioner has time to switch to a more traditional means
of maintaining damaged joints or bone fractures separated during the surgical
procedure.
