Important Safety Information
Spine Endoscopes and Accessories
Indications
The Arthrex spine endoscope is a medical device that helps doctors view spinal structures during ultra-minimally invasive procedures. It is used to give the surgeon a clear view while performing endoscopic spine surgery.
Contraindications
This device should not be used if your doctor determines that endoscopic spine surgery is not safe or appropriate for your condition. It also should not be used if the surgical environment does not meet the necessary safety and equipment standards required for this type of procedure.
Warnings
This device is used only by trained medical professionals, and your surgeon will decide whether it is appropriate for your specific condition. Your surgical team follows strict safety procedures, including checking all instruments before surgery, using only sterile and single use items as intended, and disposing of medical waste safely. They also monitor the equipment throughout the procedure to ensure clear visibility and proper function, and they take steps to prevent issues such as fogging, debris buildup, or heat from surgical tools. Your surgeon will avoid using the endoscope near MRI machines or certain types of imaging equipment when it could pose a risk. If any equipment concerns or unexpected issues arise, your surgical team will address them immediately to help ensure your safety. If you have any questions or concerns, please discuss them with your health care provider.
