 DO NOT USE IF PACKAGE HAS BEEN OPENED OR DAMAGED.
The device is sterilized using Ethylene Oxide in sealed, double pouch packaging. Sterility is only maintained if the package seals are intact.
 DO NOT RE-STERILIZE THE DEVICE. Re-use or re-sterilization shall not be performed under any conditions as contamination or infection may occur.

 DO NOT USE DEVICE AFTER ITS “USE BY” DATE.
Always configure the device according to the implant type and insertion location prior to loading the implant to avoid damaging the implant.
Do not use excessive force when delivering the implant. Stop if the implant does not advance using moderate pressure. Confirm that the incision and the surgical pocket are clear of obstructions and are appropriately sized for the implant. Check that the device is not twisted or creased in a manner that could obstruct the implant.
