The CRW system is contraindicated for patients with Creutzfeldt–Jakob disease.

Single use devices are used with the CRW stereotactic system. The following
precautions should be taken:
For single patient use only. The Disposable Head Ring Screws, Long and Short
(DHRSS5, DHRSL5) are designed as single-use, disposable products and should
not be re-sterilized or reused.
Re-sterilization and reuse may result in dullness of the screw, leading to
potential head ring movement, and cross contamination. Any Disposable Head
Ring Screw, once used, should be discarded according to hospital policy.
For single patient use only. The Apuzzo Stereotactic Drapes (ASD1 and ASD1B)
are designed as single-use, disposable products and should not be re-sterilized
or reused.
Reuse of this device may result in cross contamination or compromised sterility
of the drape and sterile field. Any drape, once used, should be discarded
according to hospital policy.
To ensure proper accuracy and function of the CRW system, do not subject any
of the CRW system's parts or accessories to any forces that may affect its use
or calibration.
Always inspect the UCHR prior to use. If any of the parts or accessories are
damaged in a way that may potentially affect the system's accuracy or function,
please return the system to Integra for service (see page 24 for packaging
instructions).
If the UCHR is to be used with a ground–referenced electrosurgical device
(monopolar or bipolar electrode), the headring should not contact the patient.
Maintain a gap (at least 1/4 inch) between the head ring and the patient's body.
Follow safety procedures consistent with the use of anesthetizing gases
•
when using the UCHR with electrosurgical equipment.
Review the system and its accessories prior to surgery to ensure that all
•
items are available and functional.
