Sterilization
These devices are sterilized by ethylene oxide, are supplied sterile, and must not be re-sterilized. The Tyvek®
seal on both intermediate and inner pouches must be intact. Any damage to the pouches renders the prosthesis
non-sterile.
In the event of damage to the primary packaging, the product must not be used and should be returned immediately
to the supplier.
Packaging
Tyvek® pouches are enclosed in a foil pouch that serves as a vapour barrier and preserves optimal prosthesis
characteristics. A sachet containing a desiccant is included to aid this purpose.
Note: The foil pouch and outer Tyvek® pouch are not sterile. Only the innermost pouch and tray may be
introduced to the sterile field.
Additional Labels
Additional labels are enclosed for use on patient records.
Disposal
At the end of the procedure care must be taken to ensure safe disposal of the Thoraflex Hybrid™ Delivery
System. Each operating team must ensure local and national regulatory requirements for the disposal of
contaminated clinical waste products be adhered to.
