Indications for Use/Intended Purpose/
Description
The MAYFIELD® Wall Storage Unit (REF A-1023) is designed for
the storage of the complete MAYFIELD Neurosurgical Headrest
System. Each instrument silhouette is printed on the board
to ensure easy and proper storage. Each MAYFIELD Headrest
component is placed on a specific custom-made holding bracket.
Intended Population
MAYFIELD Skull Clamp fixation devices are not recommended
for use on children under five (5) years of age. Extreme caution
should be exercised in pediatric cases because of the thin skull.
Inspection
Always inspect instruments before and after each use. If
an instrument appears damaged and/or does not seem to
function properly, immediately send the instrument for repair
or replacement. This is to prevent increasing operative time and
needless endangerment to the patient's life.
WARNING:
Failure to read and follow instructions furnished in this
product insert may result in serious injury.
Installation
Mount the MAYFIELD Instrument Wall Storage Unit to the
appropriate wall according to hospital protocol.
CAUTION:
Be sure the appropriate mounting anchors can support
the weight of the instruments and storage unit.
Cleaning and Sterilization
When necessary, use an antiseptic solution to wipe the plastic
laminate surface, brackets, and aluminum frame.
CAUTION:
Do not sterilize.
The life expectancy of the MAYFIELD products is expected to be
as long as 7 years.
NOTE – Any serious incident that has occurred in relation to the
device for the user and/or the patient should be reported to the
manufacturer and the competent authority of the member state
in which the user and/or patient is established.
