Disclaimer
Spinal Kinetics instrument cases are intended to protect instrumentation and
facilitate the sterilization process by allowing steam penetration and drying.
Spinal Kinetics has verified through laboratory testing that its instrument cases are
suitable for the specific sterilization methods and cycles for which they have been
tested. Health care personnel bear the ultimate responsibility for ensuring that any
packaging method or material, including a reusable rigid container system, is suitable
for use in sterilization processing and sterility maintenance in a particular health
care facility. Testing should be conducted in the health care facility to ensure that
conditions essential to sterilization can be achieved. Spinal Kinetics does not accept
responsibility or liability arising from a lack of cleanliness or sterility of any medical
devices supplied by Spinal Kinetics that should have been properly cleaned and/or
sterilized by the end user prior to use.
Recommendations

The instruments are provided non-sterile. Clean instruments before each use.
After cleaning, sterilize as directed prior to use.
•
As soon as possible after surgery, instruments should be cleaned and sterilized.
•
Clean the instruments per the instructions below. Strictly follow the dosage,
temperature, exposure time, and material compatibility specifications for the
cleaning agent.
•
Sterilize the instruments using the steam sterilizer operating conditions below.
•
Stainless steel instruments can become stained or corroded if the cleaning and
sterilization instructions are not followed. If excessive staining is observed use
demineralized water for cleaning and sterilization. Staining may be eliminated by
scrubbing the device following standard cleaning procedures. Instruments with
corrosion should be removed from use.

After each use inspect all instruments for any damage. Discard and replace
instruments as necessary.
