Contraindication

Foreign Body Reaction may occur after the product is left in the operation area. To avoid this, users of the product should monitor the operation area and ensure all product is accounted for by using the counting card and where necessary utilising the radiopaque strip on each device to locate unaccounted for patties.


-  Do not cut sponges to reduce the size.


-  To reduce risk of patty adhesion to brain tissue it is recommended that the patties be 

    removed from the body within 15 minutes.


-  Damaged packages are not sterile.


- The string on a patty is for tracing purposes only; avoid pulling to remove the device.


-  Adjacent bone structure or organ tissue may impact the efficacy of the x-ray marker. 

    Radiographs may need to be taken at different angels or parameters as required.


-  It should not be used to stop bleeding; the patty’s purpose is to prevent a bleed from 

    spreading and it does this by applying a high suction/wicking force on fluids in the 

    application area.
