General
DO NOT use any other components except for Medtronic Powered Surgical Solutions Midas Rex® Legend® Attachments, Legend® Dissecting Tools, and Legend® accessories in combination with a Legend® Motor. Use of devices with other than Legend® Systems or associated parts or components may cause injury to the patient, operator and/or operating room staff. Use of devices with other than Legend® Systems or associated parts or components will damage the motor and attachments and will void manufacturer's limited warranty.
DO NOT interchange components of the Legend® System with components from the Midas Rex® Classic Motor System, the Midas Rex® III Motor System or the Mednext® Bone Dissecting System and their associated attachments and dissecting tools.
Legend® Attachments
DO NOT use a dissecting tool without the appropriate attachment as injury may occur to the patient and/or operator.
DO NOT use excessive pressure, such as bending or prying, on attachments or dissecting tools. This may cause the tool to bend or break and cause injury to the patient, operator and/or operating room staff.
DO NOT use a Legend® Attachment if any part of the attachment appears to be bent, loose, missing or damaged. If a Legend® Attachment requires servicing or refurbishing, return attachment to Medtronic Powered Surgical Solutions.
DO NOT force or modify any attachment or dissecting tool to fit a Legend® Motor.
DO NOT operate a Legend® Perforator Driver above 100 psi with pneumatic motors or at a console no-load speed setting above 72,000 rpm with electric motors.
Heavy side loads and/or long operating periods may cause overheating of the attachment to the point where the attachment is uncomfortable to hold.
a. Never place an overheated attachment on the patient or patient draping during surgery.
b. Mitigate the overheating by discontinuing use and rest the attachment by using intermittently, or wrap the attachment interface with a moist sterile towel.
c. If the attachment is passed off, the receiver of the attachment must handle the attachment cautiously.
Remove Legend® Footed Attachments cautiously and slowly as per instructions to avoid injury to the operator.
Legend® Dissecting Tools
DO NOT use a dissecting tool without the appropriate attachment as injury may occur to the patient, operator, and/or operating room staff.
DO NOT re-use or re-process a dissecting tool that has already been used. Using a dissecting tool that has already been used may cause injury to the patient, operator and/or operating room staff. Using a dissecting tool that has already been used may affect motor performance and will void manufacturer's limited warranty.
DO NOT use excessive pressure, such as bending or prying, on attachments or dissecting tools. This may cause the tool to bend or break and cause injury to the patient, operator and/or operating room staff.
DO NOT use an attachment and dissecting tool combination if flail or vibration occurs.
DO NOT use metal cutting dissecting tools on soft tissue or bone.
DO NOT use a twist drill or contra-angle dissecting tool at an operating pressure over 80 psi (5.5 bar) with pneumatic motors or an operating speed over 62,000 rpm with electric motors.
DO NOT use a dissecting tool if the sterile packaging is damaged.
If a dissecting tool package is opened, but the tool is not used or contaminated, the tool may be steam sterilized. Remove tool from original packaging and place into an approved autoclave package. Steam sterilize as follows:
| High Vacuum Steam | | 270° F (132° C) for 5 minutes |
| Gravity Displacement | | 270° F (132° C) for 15 minutes |
The re-sterilized tool must be used promptly following re-sterilization. If rust or corrosion is encountered after re-sterilization, do not use the re-sterilized tool.
Dissecting tool flutes are sharp and can perforate surgical gloves. Always handle with care. Do not spin, twist, or pull a tool by grasping the flutes. Gently pull on dissecting tool shaft to ensure that it is fully seated and properly installed in motor.
