MAGNUM+ANTERIOR LUMBAR INTERBODY System Instructions for Use

A successful result is not always achieved in every surgical case. This fact is especially true in spinal surgery where many extenuating circumstances may compromise the results. System components are temporary implants used for the correction and stabilization of the spine. Devices are intended to be used to augment the development of a spinal fusion by providing temporary stabilization. Devices are not intended to be the sole means of spinal support. Use of these products without a bone graft or in cases that develop into a non-union will not be successful. No spinal implant can withstand body loads without the support of bone. In this event, bending, loosening, disassembly and/or breakage of the device(s) will occur. Implantation of devices should be performed only by experienced spinal surgeons with specific training in the use of the device. This is a technically demanding procedure presenting a risk of serious injury to the patient. Preoperative and operating procedures including knowledge of surgical techniques, proper reduction, and proper selection and placement of the implant are important considerations in the successful utilization of this device by the surgeon. Further, the proper selection and compliance of the patient will greatly affect the results. The physician should consider the levels of implantation, patient weight, patient activity level, and all other patient conditions that may have an impact on the performance of this device. Patients who smoke have been shown to have an increased incidence of non-union. These patients should be advised of this fact and warned of this consequence. Obese, malnourished, and/or alcohol abuse patients are also poor candidates for spine fusion. Patients with poor muscle and bone quality and/or nerve paralysis are also poor candidates for spine fusion. Patients with previous spinal surgery at the level(s) to be treated may have different clinical outcomes compared to those without a previous surgery. Physician Note: The physician is the learned intermediary between the company and the patient. The indications, contraindications, warnings, and precautions given in this document must be conveyed to the patient. MAGNETIC RESONANCE ENVIRONMENT The Magnum+ System has not been evaluated for safety and compatibility in the MR environment. It has not been tested for heating, migration, or image artifact in the MR environment. The safety of the device in the MR environment is unknown. Scanning a patient who has this device may result in patient injury. POSSIBLE ADVERSE EFFECTS 1. Early or late loosening of any or all of the components. 2. Disassembly, bending, and/or breakage of any or all of the components. 3. Loss of fixation (implant migration). 4. Foreign body (allergic) reaction to implants. 5. Post-operative change in spinal curvature, loss of correction, height, and/or reduction. 6. Infection. 7. Dural tears, persistent CSF leakage, meningitis. 8. Loss of neurological function including paralysis (partial or complete), radiculopathy, and/or the development or continuation of pain, numbness, spasms, or sensory loss. 9. Cauda equina syndrome, neurological deficits, paraplegia, reflex deficits, irritation, and/or muscle loss. 10. Loss of bladder control or other types of urological system compromise. 11. Scar formation possibly causing neurological compromise or compression around nerves and/or pain. 12. Fracture, micro-fracture, resorption, damage, or penetration of any spinal bone. 13. Soft tissue injury, vertebral endplate injury, vascular or visceral injury. 14. Herniated nucleus pulposus, disc disruption or degeneration at, above, or below the level of surgery. 15. Non-union (pseudo-arthrosis), delayed union, mal-union. 16. Cessation of any potential growth of the operated portion of the spine. 17. Loss of or increase in spinal mobility or function. 18. Inability to perform the activities of daily living. 19. Death. Additional surgery may be necessary to correct the occurrence of some of these possible adverse events. PREOPERATIVE MANAGEMENT 1. The surgeon should consider for surgery only those patients indicated for the use of this device. 2. The surgeon should not consider for surgery those patients contraindicated for the use of this device. 3. The surgeon should have a complete understanding of the device’s indications, contraindications, and applications. 4. The surgeon should have a complete understanding of the function and limitations of each implant and instrument. 5. Device components should be received and accepted only in packages that have not been damaged or tampered with. Components must be carefully handled and stored in a manner that prevents scratches, damage, and corrosion. 6. All implants and instrument should be inspected for wear and tear prior to use. Devices presenting damage such as cracks, corrosion, bends etc. should not be used. Compromised devices should be segregated and be returned to Spinal Elements. INS-MAG+

7. The type of implant to be used for the case should be determined prior to beginning the surgery. 8. All instruments and implants should be processed and sterilized prior to use. INTRAOPERATIVE MANAGEMENT 1. Caution should be taken in handling the implants. Damage to the implants may affect their performance. 2. Extreme caution should be used around the spinal cord and nerve roots. Damage to the nerves will cause loss of neurological functions. 3. Breakage, slippage, or misuse of instruments or implant components may cause injury to the patient or operative personnel. 4. Implants should be attached to the corresponding inserter such that they are fully seated on the inserter. Care should be taken not to over-tighten the implant to the inserter. 5. Implants should not be axially rotated with the inserter once they have been implanted. This may lead to damage of the implant and/or the inserter. 6. Whenever possible or necessary, an imaging system should be utilized to facilitate surgery. 7. Exercise caution when removing flexible instruments from guides. Failure to do so may cause unintended interference with surrounding anatomy. 8. When introducing screws, take care to properly center screws and avoid device interference. Interference with devices (i.e. guides, screw hole insert, etc.) may cause damage to the locking clip located around the head of the screw. Damage to the locking clip may compromise the screw locking mechanism. 9. If the surgeon experiences difficulty in inserting screws (i.e. hard bone, etc.), then an awl and/or drill should be used prior to screw insertion. 10. Exercise caution when introducing bone preparation instruments with sharp tips (i.e. awl, drill, etc.). Sharp tips have potential to cause damage to implants and or surrounding anatomy. 11. A drill guide should be used to limit the angle of drilling and subsequent insertion of screws. Insertion angles greater than what drill guides allow may prevent adequate locking of the screw. 12. To help prevent screws from disassociating from the device postoperatively, the screw locking mechanism of each screw should be engaged. The screw locking mechanism is activated by the clockwise rotation of the inset screw within the bone screw by the Breakaway Driver until an audible “click” is heard, indicating that the locking mechanism has been activated. To ensure that the locking mechanism has been activated, it is recommended to continue rotating the inset screw until a second audible “click” is heard. 13. Before closing of the soft tissues, all screws should be secured to the device body by activating the locking mechanism as described. 14. Implants should not be reused under any circumstances. POSTOPERATIVE MANAGEMENT Postoperative management by the surgeon, including instruction and warning to and compliance by the patient, of the following is essential: 1. The patient should have a complete understanding of and compliance with the purpose and limitations of the implant devices. 2. Postoperative patients should be instructed to limit activity as determined by their surgeon. 3. Retrieved implants should be properly disposed of and are not to be reused under any circumstances. 4. Contaminated instruments must be cleaned promptly after use per instructions noted in the Cleaning Instruction section of this insert in order to prevent drying and ensure an effective cleaning. SINGLE USE Reuse of a single use device that has come in contact with blood, bone, tissue or other body fluids may lead to patient or user injury. Possible risks associated with reuse of a single use device include, but are not limited to, mechanical failure, serious injury, transmission of infectious agents and death. Titanium-Coated Implants: Titanium-coated implants may be processed by automated means prior to sterilization. Implants that have directly come in contact with the patient or bio-contaminants should be discarded. Separate implant caddies from the instrument tray prior to and during any processing. CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE GENERAL INFORMATION Spinal Elements’ instruments are manufactured from various stainless steels, aluminums, and polymers. All materials used have a history of use in such instruments.

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE Devices must be free of packaging material prior to cleaning. Cleaning, maintenance and mechanical inspection must be performed by hospital personnel trained in the general procedures involving contaminant removal. Only neutral pH cleaners or detergents labeled for use in cleaning medical devices should be used for cleaning components. Only lubricants that are intended for use on surgical instruments should be used to lubricate instruments. Follow directions from the manufacturer of lubricating and cleaning agents regarding handling, concentration, and use of such agents. Cleaning instructions are provided in accordance with recognized standards and regulations and are intended to supplement a hospital’s existing device cleaning and disinfecting protocol. Contaminated devices should be wiped clean of visible soil at the point of use prior to transfer to a central processing unit for cleaning and sterilization. Contaminated devices must be cleaned promptly after use per the instructions provided in this insert to minimize drying and ensure an effective cleaning. 1. Inserters and Offset Inserters should be disassembled before cleaning: The Inserters are each comprised of two subassemblies - a shaft and a handle - that disassemble for cleaning. To disassemble each of these instruments, hold the instrument by its shaft in one hand. Depress the button on the larger diameter of the shaft with the first hand while pulling the handle axially away from the shaft with a second hand. To disassemble Offset Inserters, hold the instrument by its shaft in one hand. Depress the button on the larger diameter of the shaft with the first hand while pulling the inserter rod axially away from the shaft with a second hand. 2. Follow the cleaning instructions listed in the Cleaning Instruction section of this insert. Pay special attention to the lumens of the external shafts of disassembled instruments. 3. An instrument lubricant should be applied to the ratchet teeth on the internal shaft of inserters and to the ratcheting mechanisms of the Lucent and Lucent Ti-Bond Guns after cleaning. 4. An instrument lubricant should be applied to all hinged instruments (i.e. rongeurs, lamina spreaders, etc.) after cleaning. AUTOMATED CLEANING INSTRUCTIONS All devices must be processed manually prior to automated cleaning. Follow the instructions below for the manual and automated washing. PRE-AUTOMATED WASHER: MANUAL CLEANING 1. Disassemble all instruments that come apart for cleaning. 2. Rinse under running tap water to remove gross contamination. Use a syringe, wire guide and/or pipe cleaner (as appropriate to the presented cleaning challenge) to push debris out of lumens/cannulations or other hard to reach areas. Pay special attention to lumens of the external shafts of disassembled instruments. 3. Prepare Enzol® (or equivalent neutral or mild pH enzymatic cleaner) according to manufacturer recommendations using warm tap water. Fully immerse devices in the enzymatic cleaner solution and allow to soak for a minimum of 1 minute. While soaking, actuate the instruments through a full range of motion (as appropriate) to allow complete penetration of the cleaning solution. Instruments that do not disassemble may require additional soaking. 4. After the soak, remove the instruments and wipe any soil or debris using a disposable towel. Then, place the instruments into a fresh batch of enzymatic cleaning solution using warm water. Scrub the entire surface of the devices with a soft bristle brush paying particular attention to hard to reach areas such as mated surfaces. A syringe, wire guide, and/or pipe cleaner should be used to aid in cleaning lumens/cannulations or other hard to reach areas. A minimum of 60ml of detergent should be used when flushing lumens and cannulations. Ensure no soil is visible in the rinse stream. 5. Remove from enzymatic cleaner solution and rinse with reverse osmosis or de-ionized (RO/DI) water for a minimum of 30 seconds to remove any residual cleaner solution. Thoroughly and aggressively flush lumens, holes and other hard to reach areas with a minimum of 60ml of water. 6. Prepare Prolystica® (or equivalent neutral pH detergent) according to manufacturer recommendations using warm tap water in an ultrasonic bath. Fully immerse into the sonication bath and sonicate for a minimum of 10 minutes. 7.
