Indications, Safety, and WarningsThe device is intended for fixation of prosthetic material to soft tissue in minimally invasive and open surgical hernia repair procedures.
Warnings

Thicker, completely microporous prosthetic material (over 1.0 mm) may compromise full engagement of the tack. Material thickness should be carefully evaluated prior to application.

A minimum thickness of tissue over underlying bone, vessels, or viscera is needed for full engagement of the tack. The total distance from the surface of the tissue (including the material to be fixated) to the underlying bone, vessels, or viscera should be carefully evaluated prior to application of the device. Please refer to the tack specification chart for shaft length.

Appropriate force should be applied to the handle of the device when placing tacks. Excessive force may result in damage to the tissue, device, and/or the material being fixated.

Adverse reactions

Adverse reactions and potential complications associated with fixation devices such as ReliaTack™ fixation device are seroma, bleeding/hematoma, recurrence, chronic pain, infection, allergic reactions, inflammatory reaction, visceral adhesions, nerve entrapment, and/or damage to pericardium, nerve damage, vascular injury, visceral injuries, injuries to operator, or inadvertent injuries to other tissues that tacks penetrate through.

Contraindications

The device is not intended for use when prosthetic material fixation is contraindicated.

Do not use the ReliaTack™ fixation device on tissue(s) which cannot be inspected visually for hemostasis.

This device should not be used in tissues that have a direct anatomic relationship to major vascular structures. This would include the deployment of tacks in the diaphragm in the vicinity of the pericardium, aorta, or inferior vena cava during diaphragmatic hernia repair.

Do not use on ischemic or necrotic tissue.

Please refer to the instructions for use for complete risk information.
