Warnings
For single patient use ONLY. Do not re-sterilize or reuse. Disposable skull pins are to be used for one procedure only. RE-sterilization will impair the function of the product and may result in failure of the skull pin base when being used. Sharpness of the skull pin is not guaranteed with repeated use. We recommend that a second set of sterile skull pins be kept available in the event that sterile technique is compromised. Failure to read and follow instructions and warnings furnished in this instruction manual and the instructions and warnings included in the associated skull clamp instruction manual may result in serious patient injury. The skull clamp must be applied along a centerline of the patient's head with pins entering the skull perpendicularly. Failure to properly position the skull clamp on the patient's head could result in patient injury such as scalp laceration due to skull pin slippage. Failure to properly position patient and to fully secure all adjustment positions of the skull clamp or any support device may result in patient injury. Do not use the MAYFIELD Titanium Skull Pin with the original GARDNER brand Skull Clamp. These skull pins are not recommended for use on children under five (5) years of age and extreme caution should be exercised in pediatric cases because of the thin skull. MAYFIELD Titanium Child Skull Pins (A1119) are recommended for young children over the age of five (5) years. It is at the discretion of the user, when the adult or child skull pins should be used. Do not resterilize. Use each Titanium Skull Pin for one procedure only. Resterilization and subsequent reuse will impair the function of the skull pin. It is recommended that second set of sterile pins be kept available in case sterile technique is compromised. Do not confuse titanium skull pins with steel pins. Steel objects passing through high intensity magnetic fields can generate enough heat to burn tissue. The Adult Titanium Skull Pin has been "gold" anodized and the cylindrical portion of the point adorned with an annular mark to be used as visual cues that the pin is made of titanium. Child pins have a unique shape to make them readily distinguishable from adult pin points. Before using this product, carefully read the product insert for correct use and warnings associated with the specific skull clamp model intended to be used. Hold the skull pins between the thumb and the forefinger at the base of the pin. Insert the pins into the skull pin receptacles on the skull clamp. Push them in until they are seated firmly and cannot be inserted any further into the receptacle. Do not position the skull pins over the frontal sinuses of the temporal area of the skull. Take care to avoid major blood vessels, nerves, previously restored or abnormally thin bone.
