qualified user and only for a previously identified patient known by name. Each implant is individually
designed based on the indication and the patient. Please refer to the case-specific product documentation
for detailed information on the structure, functionality and performance characteristics of the patient-
specific implants. In IPS Gate®, the documentation is assigned to the respective case by means of a unique
case number. In IPS Gate®, the user can call up the case-specific product documentation at any time.
The user's written prescription and design approval, which must be available prior to each production and
