Contraindications and risk
• Do not use the RAUMEDIC

RAUMEDIC
Bolt KITs / DRILL KITs are:
®
- Coagulopathy (either caused by the illness
or by the use of anticoagulants)
- Immunosuppressive medication
- Anoxia and poisoning
• In very rare cases, the appearance of a pseu-
doaneurysm following trauma in the area of
the frontotemporal cranium was described in
the form of individual case reports.
• Intracranial procedures require trained staff
as well as equipment capable of monitoring
the patient's condition throughout the proce-
dure.
• Should the patient's condition change during
the procedure, particularly in respect of ten-
dency to bleed, then the neurosurgical pro-
cedure should not be continued. Close mo-
nitoring of the patient's condition is absolutely
necessary.
• Please also observe the IfU of the correspon-
ding catheter regarding any side effects that
might occur while using the catheter.

point 2 and Accessories) should be used with
the various types of RAUMEDIC
• The drill hole should have the required dia-
meter. If the intracranial screw is not secure,
then movements in the catheter can lead to
injury and infection. The screw, including the
measurement catheter, can completely de-
tach itself.
• Particular care needs to be taken with frac-
tures, i.e. osteolysis in the area of the cranial
vault (e.g. metastasis, Kahler's disease).
• Also note, whether certain conditions, such as
the unfavourable position of the neck verte-
brae of the patient as well as bone diseases
such as osteolysis could make the application
of the RAUMEDIC
BOLT KIT more difficult.
®
• To prevent the risk of infection, take care that
the fixing cap is sufficiently secured.
• Do not carry out patient intracranial pressure
monitoring without close supervision or wit-
hout staff trained in the technique.
