• Check the motor’s exhaust hose for cracks or tears.


• Visually inspect attachments and tools. Do not use bent or damaged tools.
• Install attachment and dissecting tool, then briefly run motor.
* Check motor for overheating and leaking lubricant.
* Check attachment for overheating.
* Check dissecting tool for flail.

• Do not operate the Midas Rex MR7 System without eye protection.

• Motors and attachments which fail due to extended use may allow a component to detach and fall from the motor or
attachment, and may cause patient injury.

• Heavy side loads and/or long operating periods may cause the device to overheat. If overheating occurs:

• Never place an overheated motor on the patient or draping during surgery.


• Discontinue use and rest the motor by using intermittently, or wrap the motor/attachment interface with a moist
sterile towel.
• If the motor is passed off, the receiver should grasp the motor by the proximal end close to the motor hose.

• To avoid injury to the patient or user, do not place the handpiece on the patient or in an unsecured location, when not
in use.

• Midas Rex MR7 motors should only be operated when the attachment is in the position.
If a dissecting tool package is opened, but the tool is not used or contaminated, the tool can be re-sterilized by steam
sterilization. Remove tool from all 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.

No Latex Policy
Legend and MR7 products, packaging materials, labels, package inserts, and similar items manufactured by and/or for

Variable Exposure Attachments
Figure 34: Adjusting Tool Exposure
CAUTION: The Legend Variable Exposure attachments
can be distinguished from standard attachments by
the dual color bands on the attachment. Match the
color band on the attachment to the color code on the
dissecting tool packaging.

WARNINGS:
• Surgeons should familiarize themselves with the
performance of dissecting tools before use, and
should explore the effect of various levels of tool
exposure on dissection stability. If the tool exhibits
excessive chatter, vibration, or movement, decrease
the tool exposure.

• Dissecting tool size and geometry may contribute


to excessive vibration at certain speeds. Increase or
decrease speed by adjusting the foot/finger control,
or by changing the operating pressure or console
speed setting. If necessary, use a different dissecting
tool.

Installation:
1. Refer to the appropriate section of this manual on
installing fixed or angled attachments.
2. After installation, use the TUBE adjustment ring to
adjust the exposure of the dissecting tool (Figure 34).
With the tool pointing away from you, turn the
ring to the right to increase the length of the tube,
thereby decreasing the exposure of the tool. Turn the
ring to the left to decrease the length of the tube,
thereby increasing the exposure of the tool.
WARNING: Do not use the Variable Exposure
Attachment if the TUBE adjustment ring spins freely
or fails to click into place with each adjustment, as the
exposure may change without warning.

CAUTION: Make sure that the tool lock (angled


attachments only) and the attachment lock are still in the
position after each adjustment of the tool exposure.
Attempting to increase the exposure too far may result
in the attachment becoming unlocked. Accidentally
turning the tool lock may result in reduced speed and/or
overheating of the attachment.

WARNING: Do not use the end of the tube as a depth


gauge or depth stop.

Removal:

Bone Mill Attachment Figure 57: Bone Mill Attachment

The Legend Bone Mill attachment is composed of


1 2
a non sterile base and gamma-sterilized, single use
disposable components. The gamma-sterilized single 1. Cap 3
use disposable components consist of one bowl, one cap 2. Bowl
(with LOW and HIGH settings), and one spatula. A Legend 3. Bone Mill Base
or MR7 motor provides the power to drive the Bone Mill 4. Motor
attachment. The Bone Mill attachment is intended to mill 5. Spatula
bone into particles 1 to 5mm in size.

WARNINGS: 5
• Do not operate the Bone Mill attachment without
the bowl, and cap secured in place.
4

• Do not come in contact with the interior of the


disposable bowl and cap during bone milling. Figure 58: Bone Mill Cap

• Do not use the Bone Mill disposable components for HIGH

more than one surgical procedure, as this may cause


cross-contamination and affect patient safety.

• Use only Legend/MR7 motors and Legend Bone


Mill disposables in combination with the Bone
Mill attachment. Use of other devices will void the LOW
manufacturer’s warranty.

Using the Bone Mill Attachment Figure 59: Inserting the Motor
1. Place the bowl onto Bone Mill base and secure the
latches.
2. Lay harvested bone specimens into the bowl.

CAUTIONS:
• The addition of any liquid to the milling process
should be administered in small volumes to prevent
leakage.

• Do not use Bone Mill disposables to process more


than 6 bone pieces approximately 1.5 cc in size at
one time.

• Do not use Bone Mill disposables to process more


than a total of 40 cc of bone during any one surgical
procedure.
3. Secure the cap onto the bowl by rotating
counterclockwise. Do not activate the Bone Mill
Attachment without securing the cap.
4. Use the HIGH cap position when starting with large
pieces of bone or large batch amounts. Use the LOW
cap position to finish milling a batch or when starting
with small pieces or batch amounts (Figure 58).
5. Insert the motor into the motor connection on the
Bone Mill base and rotate the motor to the position
(Figure 59).
6. Activate the motor to mill bone. Continue to run the
Bone Mill Attachment until desired bone particle size
is achieved. Adjust motor speed to obtain desired
particle size.

39
Appendix A—Specialized Attachments
PTSC224
NOTE: If bone does not process, deactivate the motor,
rotate the motor to the position, and remove the cap.
Reinsert the cap in the HIGH position and activate the
motor. If bone spins without milling or jams, divide bone
chunks into two batches and process separately.
7. Process the bone for 5–15 seconds and visually check
to gauge quality of milling before continuing.
8. Continue to process bone in 5–15 second batches
until the majority of particles reach desired size.
9. To remove bone particles stop operation of the
motor and rotate it to the position. Remove the
cap by rotating it clockwise. Use the spatula inside
the bowl and cap to remove bone particles.

NOTES:
• Milling time is dependent on the density of the
patient’s bone, the ratio of cancellous and cortical
bone, the size of the individual particles and the
batch amount of the bone to be processed. Always
check bone after 10–15 seconds to gauge quality of
milling.

• If the blade becomes inoperable, stop operation of


the motor and rotate the motor to the position.
Remove the cap and use the spatula to free bone
and/or blades.

• After removing bone particles from the bowl, the


milling process may be repeated with additional
bone specimens, as needed. (Up to a total of 40 cc of
bone may be processed by the Bone Mill Disposable
during any one surgical procedure.)

After Use
1. Rotate the motor to the position.
2. Unlatch the Bone Mill disposables from the base.
3. Discard the bowl, cap, and spatula per hospital
procedure.
4. Clean the Bone Mill base according to the directions
below.
