SURGICAL   I NSTRUMENTS  
The  instruments  sets  realized  by  Gruppo  Bioimpianti  are  designed  and  manufactured  to  provide  surgeons  
with   the   necessary   instruments   to   realize   a   simple   and   safe   implantation.   Such   instruments   are   supplied  
either  as  part  of  an  operating  set  in  dedicated  trays  or  individually,  and  are  identified  by  a  code  and  a  lot  
number,   reported   on   the   label   when   present   and   on   the   device   if   possible.   Surgical   instruments   must   be  
kept  in  hygiene-­‐controlled  premises,  if  possible  in  dedicated  conservation  units  (surgical  instrument  trays).  
The   materials   used   for   manufacturing   are   biocompatible   and   guarantee   good   resistance   to   corrosion   if  
stored  in  appropriate  conditions.  It  should  be  remembered  that  organic  fluids  can  cause  local  corrosion,  so  
it   is   good   practice   to   clean   instruments   after   use,   removing   traces   of   blood   or   other   organic   fluids   which  
might   prove   aggressive   to   the   material   if   left   in   such   conditions.   The   instruments,   whether   part   of   an  
operating  set  or  supplied  individually,  are  supplied  non  sterile.  Gruppo  Bioimpianti  S.r.l.  performs  on  each  
instrument   a   washing   cycle   according   to   the   applicable   Operative   Instructions.   Gruppo   Bioimpianti  
underlines   that   it   is   responsibility   of   the   hospital   facility   to   perform   on   each   instrument,   before   each  
surgery,   the   following   sequence   of   processes,   that   must   be   performed   appropriately   according   to   the  
internal   procedures   approved   by   each   facility:   decontamination,   washing   (manual   or   ultrasound),   re-­‐
washing,  drying,  control  of  absence  of  residual  dirt  or  other  impurities,  control  of  lumen/holes,  control  of  
the   integrity   of   the   instruments,   and   sterilization   according   to   a   sterilization   process   conforming   to   the  
relevant   standards   (EN   556,   ISO   11137-­‐1,-­‐2,-­‐3   and   ISO   11135-­‐1   and   UNI   EN   ISO   17665-­‐1).   Gruppo  
Bioimpianti   S.r.l.   manufactures   instruments   that   can   be   sterilized   several   times,   even   using   the   simple  
systems   g enerally   f ound   i n   h ospitals   ( steam   s terilizers).   S hould   t he   i nstrument   b e   i mpaired   o r   s how   s igns   o f  
superficial   alteration,   it   should   not   be   used.   Any   fracture   or   breaking   of   instruments   shall   be   reported   to  
the  company.  The  use  of  components  and/or  instruments  not  included  in  the  instruments  set  provided  by  
Gruppo   Bioimpianti   S.r.l.,   except   the   generic   instruments   present   in   the   operating   rooms   (drill,   oscillating  
blades..)   could   determine   negative   events.   The   instruments,   if   not   carefully   operated   during   the   surgery,  
could  cause  damages  to  the  implants.  Surgical  instruments  are  inevitably  subject  to  wear  with  normal  use  
and  if  they  have  experienced  excessive  force  are  susceptible  to  fracture.  Surgical  instruments  should  only  
be  used  for  their  intended  purpose,  as  illustrated  in  the  surgical  technique  provided  by  Gruppo  Bioimpianti  
S.r.l.   It   is   recommended   that   all   instruments   be   regularly   inspected   to   identify   any   possible   damage.  
WARNING:   if   the   instruments   are   intended   to   be   connected   with   an   active   medical   device   (electrical  
engine),   the   compatibility   between   two   elements   of   the   connection   must   be   verified.   Do   not   leave   in   the  
surgical   site   any   trial   component,   packaging,   instrument   or   part   of   it.   Being   medical   devices,   the  
instruments  must  be  strictly  used  by  medical  personnel,  which  must  be  sufficiently  familiar  with  their  use  
before   p erforming   t he   s urgery.    
 
PREOPERATIVE   P RECAUTIONS  
In   general,   it   is   always   advisable   to   carry   out   a   thorough   pre-­‐operative   analysis   to   determine   the   most  
appropriate   system   and   the   right   size   compatible   with   the   patient's   clinical   conditions   (age,   physical  
activity/work,   weight,   mental   illness,   osteoporosis,   vascular   pathologies).   The  surgeon  is  to  be  thoroughly  
familiar   with   the   implants,   instruments   and   surgical   procedures   prior   to   performing   surgery.   Regarding  
surgical  technique,  Gruppo  Bioimpianti  S.r.l.  provides  indications  on  the  use  of  its  products.  In  addition  to  
product's   documentation,   Gruppo   Bioimpianti   is   willing   to   support   the   exchange   of   professional   opinions  
between   d octors   w ho   h ave   a lready   u sed   s uch   d evices   a nd   t hose   i nteresting   o n   i ts   u sing   f or   t he   f irst   t ime.  
It   is   important   to   realize   an   appropriate   patients   selection,   during   which   the   following   important   factors  
should   b e   c onsidered:  
1. The   p atient   m ust   h ave   r eached   f ull   s keletal   m aturity;  
2. Need   t o   o btain   p ain   r elief   a nd   i mprove   f unction;  
3. Ability   and   willingness   of   the   patient   to   follow   indications,   including   control   of   weight   and  
adequate   a ctivity   l evel;    
4. Patient's   w eight;  
5. Activity   a nd   o ccupation   l evel;  
6. State   o f   h ealth   o f   t he   p atient.  
The   patient   is   to   be   made   aware   and   warned   of   general   surgical   risks   and   possible   adverse   effects.   The
