5.6 PRECAUTIONS
•
The keratectomy must be performed only by experienced refractive surgeons with specific training
in the use of the M2-M2SU microkeratome.
•
Preoperative and operative procedures, including knowledge of surgical techniques, proper head
and ring selection, and assembly and placement of the microkeratome are important considerations
in the successful use of the system by the surgeon. Furthermore, the proper patient selection and
compliance will greatly affect the results.
For USA only: CAUTION: FEDERAL LAW (USA) RESTRICTS THESE DEVICES TO SALE BY OR ON
THE ORDER OF A PHYSICIAN.
Other preoperative, intraoperative, and postoperative warnings and precautions are as fellows:
• PREOPERATIVE
o
Only patients that meet the criteria described in the indications should be selected.
o
Care should be used in the handling and storage of the microkeratome components. They should
not be scratched or otherwise damaged. The M2 motor should be protected during storage,
especially from corrosive environments.
o
Check the label and expiration date on unopened packages of M2SU heads and M2 blades.
o
After opening the sterile package of M2SU heads, verify that head information is consistent with
information on outer package labeling.
o
The head, suction ring, M2 motor, and the control unit should be fully inspected prior to use. The
blade should be inspected on both sides under a microscope.
o
The surgeon should be familiar with the various components before using the microkeratome and
verify that all parts and necessary instruments are present and properly assembled before the
surgery begins. Additional sterile components should be available in case of an unexpected need.
o
The selection of the proper head, ring, and stop position for each eye is crucial to the success of
the procedure: see MORIA nomogram.
• INTRAOPERATIVE
o
Breakage, slippage, or misuse of the microkeratome and its components may cause injury to the
patient or operating personnel.
o
Before any usage, lubricate the eye, the suction ring, the head, and the blade with a physiological
saline solution or another appropriate ophthalmic solution that is compatible with the M2-M2SU
components.
• POSTOPERATIVE
o
The surgeon's postoperative instructions to the patient and the corresponding patient compliance
are extremely important.
