Important product information for

INTERLOCKING NAIL SYSTEM

Charfix Femoral Nail

1 PURPOSE AND INDICATIONS

1. Bone nails of CHARFIX, CHARFIX2, ChFN, ChFN2 systems are intended

for osteosynthesis of long bone fractures.There are the following indica-

tionsforbone treatment: transverse and shortoblique fractures,trochan-

teric zone fractures (per-, inter-, sub-trochanteric), comminuted fractures,

open fractures of I, II, IIIA degree Gustillo-Anderson, pathologic fractures,

disturbanceof union (falsejoint) aftertreatmentusing othermethods,cor-

rective osteotomies, neck base region fractures. Bone nails of CHARFIX FN

system and femoro-tibial nails are used to treat diseases associated with

the knee joint, in particular: failed arthroplasty, periprosthetic fractures,

post-traumatic state which does not allow for implantation of the knee

prosthesis,post-infectionstate,neoplastictransformations,lossof ordam-

age to the knee extensor, knee arthrodesis.

2. Bone nail locking elements: locking screws, reconstruction screws, lock-

ing sets, setting screws, compression screw, join screws, end cap, spiral

screw and nuts, are used to lock the nails of the above-mentioned sys-

tems in the treatment of long bone fractures by means of intramedul-

lary xation method.

3. Stableosteosynthesisofbone fragmentsisobtained by locking the appro-

priatenail inthemedullarycanal with the useoflocking elements suitable

for the given nail and xation method used.

4. Nailsandtelescopic sleeves areintendedfor fracture treatmentin children

and adolescents with congenital osteogenesis imperfecta.

5.Calcaneal nail ofCHARFIX2 system is usedto treatfractures ofthecalcaneus

and for subtalar arthrodesis.

6. When using CHARFIX2 FN nails combined with knee joint resection, use

spacers.

7. The radial nail is intended for treatment of distal radius fractures.

8. For the implantation of the aforementioned products, ChM’s specialist

instrument sets are dedicated. Along with the instrument set, illustrated

surgicaltechniqueis also provided.Surgical technique isnota detailed in-

structionof conduct.Thisis the physician that determinesthe proper tech-

nique and detailed surgical procedure for a particular patient.

2 CONTRAINDICATIONS

1. Contraindications may be relative or absolute. The choice of particular

device must be carefully considered in terms of patient’s overall condi-

tion. Conditions listed below may preclude or reduce the chance of suc-

cessful outcome:

1) Infection local to the operative site.

2) Signs of local inammation.

3) Fever or leukocytosis.

4) Pregnancy.

5) Neuromuscular disorders which can create unacceptable risk of xation

failure or complications in postoperative care.

6) Any other condition which would preclude the potential benefit

of implant application and may disturb the normal process of bone

remodeling, e.g. the presence of tumours or congenital abnormalities,

fracture local to the operating site, elevation of sedimentation rate un-

explainedby otherdiseases,elevationof whiteblood cells (WBC) count,

or a marked left shift in the WBC dierential count.

7) Suspected or documented allergy or intolerance to implant materials.

Surgeonshallnd out ifthepatientdevelopsallergicreaction tothema-

terial of the implant (content of the implant material is presented in IM-

PLANT MATERIAL).

8) Any case not needing a surgical intervention.

9) Any case not described in the indications.

10) Any patient unwilling to cooperate with postoperative instructions;

mental illness, a condition of senility or substance abuse may cause

the patient to ignore certain necessary limitations and precautions

in the implant usage.

11) Anycase where the implant components selectedfor use wouldbe too

large or too small to achieve the successful result.

12) Anycase that requiresthe simultaneous use ofelements from dierent

systems that are made of dierent metals.

13) Any case in which implant utilization would disturb physiological

processes.

14) Blood supply limitation in the operative site.

15) Morbid obesity (dened according to the WHO standards).

16) Any case in which there is inadequate tissue coverage of the opera-

tive site.

17) Shaft fractures with a ssure less than 5 cm from the nearest inter-

locking hole of the nail.

2. The above-mentioned list of contraindications is not exhaustive.

3 ADVERSE EFFECTS

1. The adverse eects may necessitate reoperation or revision. The sur-

geon should warn the patient about the possibility of adverse eects

occurrence.

2.The below-mentioned list ofadverseeventsis not exhaustive.There is a risk

of occurrence of adverse events with unknown aetiology which may be

caused by many unpredictable factors.

3. Potential adverse events include but are not limited to:

1) Implant damage (fracture, deformation or detachment).

2) Early or late loosening, or displacement of the implant from the ini-

tial place of insertion.

3) Possibility of corrosion as a result of contact with other materials.

4) Body reaction to implants as to foreign bodies e.g. possibility of tumour

metaplasia, autoimmune disease and/or scarring.

5) Compression on the surrounding tissues or organs.

6) Infection.

7) Bone fractures or “stress shielding”phenomenon causing loss of bone

above, below or at the operative site.

8) Haemorrhage and/or hematomas.

9) Pain.

10) Inability to perform everyday activities.

11) Mental condition changes.

12) Death.

13) Deep vein thrombosis, thrombophlebitis.

14) Occurrenceof respiratory complications, e.g.: pulmonaryembolism, at-

electasis, bronchitis, pneumonia, pulmonary infection, disturbed lung

growth, respiratory acidosis, etc.

15) Scar formation that could cause neurological impairment, or nerves

compression and/or pain.

16) Late bone fusion or no visible fusion mass and pseudoarthrosis.

17) Loss of proper curvature and/or length of bone.

4WARNINGS

1. The important medical information provided in this document should

be given to the patient.

2.The selectionof propershape and size oftheimplant appropriatefora spe-

cic patient is crucial to achieve the success of the surgery. The surgeon is

responsible for this choice.

3. Preoperative and operating procedures, including knowledge of surgical

techniques, and correct placement of implants are important and shall

beconsideredby the surgeon inorderto achievesuccess during operation.

4. No implant can withstand body loads without the biomechanical con-

tinuity of the bone.

5. During normal use all surgical implants are subjected to repeated stresses

which can result in material fatigue and failure of the implant.

6. To avoid excessive stress on the implant which could lead to non-union

or implant failure and associated clinical problems, the surgeon must in-

form the patient about the physical activity limitations during the treat-

ment period.

7. Ifthe patient is involvedin anoccupation oractivity(e.g.:substantial walk-

ing, running, weights lifting, muscles strain) which may apply excessive

stresson the implant,the surgeonmust informthe patient that resultant

forces can cause implant failure.

8. A successful result is not always achieved in every surgical case. This fact

is especially true in the case where other patient’s conditions may com-

promise the results.

9. The proper patient selection, compliance of the patient and observance

of post-operative recommendations will greatly affect the results.

The bone union is less likely to occur among smoking patients. These pa-

tientsshouldbe informed aboutthis factandwarnedofthisconsequence.

10. Overweight may cause additional stresses and strains within implant

which can lead to fatigue and deformation of the implant.

11.Patientswhoareoverweight,malnourishedand/or abuse alcoholor drugs,

with weak muscles and low quality bones and/or with nerve palsy are

not the best candidates for the procedure of surgical stabilization. These

patients are not able or not ready to observe the post-operative recom-

mendations and limitations.

12.The implants areintended as anaid tothehealingprocessandareNOT in-

tendedto replace body structuresor bear the body weightwhen the treat-

ment process has not yet nished.

13.The implant maybreak orbecome damaged asa resultofstrenuousactiv-

ity or trauma, and may need to be replaced in the future.

14. The surgeon must warn the patient that the device cannot and does not

restore the function and eciency of a healthy bone.

15. In the case of delayed union or non-union, the load or weight bearing

may eventually cause the implant bending, loosening, disassembling

or fatigue breakage.

16. The surgeon should inform the patient of the resulting total stiening

of the limb when using CHARFIX2 FN implants and femoro-tibial nails.

nium,titaniumalloy and/or cobaltalloy withimplantablestainlesssteel

componentsin the same constructasit maylead tocorrosionandreduc-

tion of mechanical strength of implants.

2. Magnetic resonance compatibility

1) ChM’s implants made completely from or containing elements made

of implantable steel werenot assessed for their safetyand compatibility

with magnetic resonance imaging procedures. The performance of MRI

on these implants (especially in the magnetic eld with a signicant in-

duction) may pose a potential risk of, i.a.:

a) implant displacement or heating up,

b) artifacts on MR images.

2) Implants made of titanium, titanium alloys and cobalt alloys are condi-

tionally compatible with magnetic resonance imaging.

3) The patient can be scanned safely under the following conditions:

a) static magnetic eld of ≤ 3 Tesla,

b) maximum magnetic eld spatial gradient of ≤ 720 Gauss/cm,

c)maximum MR systemreportedwhole-body-averagedspecicabsorp-

tion rate (SAR) of 3W/kg for 15 minutes of scanning.

4) CAUTION: the user should be absolutely familiar with the contraindica-

tionsandwarningsestablished bythemanufacturerof the MRIscanner

to be used for imaging procedure.

5) MR imaging may be interfered with if the area of interest is in the exact

same area or relatively close to the position of the implant.

6) Do not perform MRI if there are doubts about the tissue integrity

and the implant xation or if the proper location of the implant is im-

possible to be established.

7 PRE-OPERATIVE RECOMMENDATIONS

1.Only patientsthat meet the criteria describedinthePURPOSE AND INDICA-

TIONS should be selected.

2. Patients’conditions and/or predispositions such as those addressed

in the above-mentioned CONTRAINDICATIONS should be avoided.

3. Before deciding about implantation, the surgeon shall inform the patient

about indications and contraindications of such procedure and possibility

of complications occurrence after the operation. Patient shall be intro-

duced to the purpose and manner of the procedure, and to functional

and aesthetic eects of such treatment. Proper clinical diagnosis and ac-

curate operation planning and performance are needed to achieve good

nal result of treatment.

4. Where material sensitivity is suspected, appropriate tests should be made

prior to material selection or implantation (alloying elements of implant

material are presented in IMPLANT MATERIAL).

5.The implantation shall becarriedout bythesurgeonfamiliar with adequate

rulesandoperatingtechniques,and whohasacquiredpractical skills ofus-

ing ChM instrument set. The selection of surgical technique adequate

for a specic patient remains surgeon’s responsibility.

6. The operation procedure shall be carefully planned. The size of implant

should be determined prior to the surgery. An adequate inventory of im-

plants with required sizes should be available at the time of surgery, in-

cluding sizes larger and smaller than those expected to be used.

7.Thesurgeon should be familiar with allcomponents of the implant system

beforeuse and should personallyverifyif allcomponents and instruments

are present before the surgery begins.

8. Donot use the implantif the original,sterile packagingis damaged. Steril-

ity cannot be guaranteed if the package is not intact. The package shall

be carefully checked prior to use.

9. Implants are delivered in protective packagings. The package should be

intact at the time of receipt.

10. Unless supplied sterile, all implants and instruments should be washed,

disinfectedandsterilizedbeforeuse.Additionalsterilecomponents should

be available in case of any unexpected need.

11. Before procedure begins, all implants should be carefully checked to en-

sure that there is no damage (surface scratching, dents, signs of corrosion

and shape deformations). Damaged implant must not be inserted into

the body.

8 RECOMMENDATIONS FOR IMPLANTS PROVIDED

STERILE

1. Sterile implant - is delivered in sterile packaging, with the inscription:

“STERILE”. Such product is sterile and the manufacturer is responsible

for the process of sterilization. The sterilization is performed with the use

of one of the following methods:

1) gamma radiation, with a minimum dose of 25 kGy,

2) hydrogen peroxide vapour.

2. The symbol designating the sterilization method used is visible on the de-

vice label (symbols are described in the footer of this Instructions For Use).

3. Prior to use of a sterile device the following rules apply:

1) Check out the expiration date of sterilization. Do not use the device with

an overstepped sterility date!

2) Check out if the sterile package is not damaged. Do not use the device

if the sterile package is damaged!

3)Check out the colour ofthesterility indicator onthesterilepackage which

indicates that sterilization of the device was performed. Do not use

the device if the sterility indicator colour is dierent than:

a) red - for devices sterilized with gamma radiation,

b) blue - for devices sterilized with hydrogen peroxide vapour.

4. CAUTION: products should be removed from their packagings in accor-

dance with aseptic rules.

9 RECOMMENDATIONS FOR IMPLANTS PROVIDED

NON-STERILE

1. The following recommendations apply to unused non-sterile implants.

An implant that has been implanted must not be re-processed and re-

used.

2. The implant which has not been used but got contaminated by contact

with the blood, tissue and/or body uids/materials, should not be used

again. The implant should be handled in accordance with applicable

hospital protocol. ChM does not recommend re-processing of contami-

nated implants. Should the contaminated implant be re-processed, ChM

bears no responsibility.

3. Prior to use of a non-sterile device, the following rules apply:

1) The device must undergo cleaning, disinfection and sterilization pro-

cedures.

2)Eective cleaning isa complicatedproceduredepending onthefollowing

factors: the quality of water, the type and the quantity of used deter-

gent,the technique ofcleaning (manual,automated),the properrinsing

and drying,the properpreparationof the device,the time, the tempera-

ture and carefulness of the person conducting this process.

3)The hospitalfacility remains responsible for the eectivenessofthe con-

ducted cleaning, packaging and sterilization processes with the use

of existing equipment, materials and properly trained personnel.

4. Preparation for washing and disinfection (for all methods)

1) Prior to cleaning, remove the implant from the original unit packaging.

Dispose of the packaging. Protect patient labels, provided with the im-

plant, against accidental loss or damage.

2) To avoid contamination, the implants should not have contact with

the contaminated devices/instruments.

3) Rinse under running water and remove possible surface dirt (resulting

from e.g.: damage to the unit packaging) using adisposable cloth, paper

towel or plastic brushes (nylon brushes are recommended).

4)CAUTION: Itisforbidden touse brushes made ofmetal,bristles ormateri-

als which could damage the implant.

5. Cleaning and disinfection process

1)This InstructionsforUse describes twovalidatedbyChM cleaning and dis-

infection methods: manual with ultrasound cleaning and automated

method. It is recommended to use automated procedures for cleaning

b) minimum exposure time: 7 min,

c) minimum drying time: 20 min.

2) CAUTION

a) The sterilization process must be validated and routinely monitored

in accordance with the requirements of EN ISO 17665-1.

b) Sterilization must be eective and in accordance with requirements

of the EN 556-1 standard to ensure the required level of guaran-

teed sterility SAL10-6 (where SAL stands for Sterility Assurance Level).

c) The implant cannot be sterilized in the unit package in which it was

delivered.

d) The method of sterilization using ethylene oxide, gas plasma and dry

heat should not be used, unless the Instructions for Use for the prod-

uct contains sterilization recommendations using these methods.

e)The above-mentioned principlesfor cleaningand sterilizationmust be

applied to all implants intended for implantation.

f) The surgical instruments used for implants insertion should also be

10 RE-STERILIZATION

1. It is permitted to re-sterilize a device in case, when its sterile packaging

hasbeen damaged or opened. In this case,the product should be washed

and sterilizedin the mannerdescribed inthechapter RECOMMENDATIONS

FORIMPLANTS PROVIDED NON-STERILE.

1) ATTENTION: Implant that has been in contact with body tissues or uids

of a patient cannot be re-sterilized or implanted to another patient.

11 PRECAUTIONS

1. Implant is intended for single use only. After removing the implant from

posed of in accordance with current hospital procedures.

2. Underno circumstances is it allowedtore-use or re-implant onceused de-

vice. Even if the removed implant appears to be undamaged, it may have

small latent defects or internal stresses, which could lead to early failure,

fatigue wear, and as a result to e.g. an implant breakage.

3. Misuse of instruments or implants may cause injury to the patient or op-

erative personnel.

4. Avoid damaging implant surface and deforming its shape during the im-

plantation; the damaged implant cannot be implanted or left in the pa-

tient’s body.

5. Insertion, removal and adjustment of implants must only be done with

instruments specially designated for those implants and manufactured

by ChM sp. z o.o.

6. Use of ChM’s implants and instruments in combination with implants

and instruments from other manufacturers may cause damage or failure

of those implantsor instrumentsandmay lead to improper course of sur-
