JAZZ is a temporary implant to be used in orthopedic surgery. The JAZZ system is intended to provide temporary stabilization as a bone anchor during the development of solid bony fusion and aid in the repair of bone fractures. The indications for use include the following applications: 1. Spinal trauma surgery, used in sublaminar or facet wiring techniques; 2. Spinal reconstructive surgery, incorporated into constructs for the purpose of correction of spinal deformities such as adolescent idiopathic scoliosis, adult scoliosis, kyphosis and spondylolisthesis; 3. Spinal degenerative surgery, as an adjunct to spinal fusions. The JAZZ System may also be used in conjunction with other medical implants made of titanium allov whenever "wiring" may help secure the attachment of other implants. The JAZZ System is intended to be used with the Implanet Spine System.

The Implanet JAZZ System is part of a spinal posterior fixation system that is designed to provide a stable interface between spinal constructs and the rod used in spinal surgery. The device is secured around vertebral structures such as the lamina, facet, or transverse processes from T1 to L5. The JAZZ System consists of the following components and accessories: polyester (polyethylene-terephthalate) braid; titanium alloy connector and stainless steel malleable strip and buckle.

The Implanet Calypso System is intended to provide immobilization and stabilization of spinal segments in skeletally mature patients as an adjunct to fusion of the thoracic, lumbar and/or sacral spine. The Implanet Calypso System is intended for posterior, non-cervical pedicle and non-pedicle fixation for the following indications: degenerative disc disease (defined as back pain of discogenic origin with degeneration of the disc confirmed by history and radiographic studies), spondylolisthesis, trauma (i.e., fracture or dislocation), spinal stenosis, spinal deformities (i.e., scoliosis, kyphosis and/or lordosis), tumor, pseudoarthrosis, or revision of a failed fusion attempt.

The Calypso System is a posterior instrumentation system consisting of monoaxial and polyaxial pedicle screws, union rods, transverse connectors, and hooks. The implants in the system are composed of Ti6Al4V titanium alloy described by ISO 5832-3.

The CooperSurgical Infrared Coagulator ("IRC") is intended for coagulative necrosis of tissue. It is indicated for the treatment of genital condylomas (condyloma accuminata) and general warts.

The Cooper IRC delivers short pulses of visible and infrared light through a small contact tip applicator that is applied to the tissue. This light causes thermal coagulation that results in tissue necrosis. The user sets the pulse duration control knob depending on the depth of the tissue necrosis required. The depth of coagulation is directly related to the pulse length delivered to a given area of tissue. The area(s) to be treated may be locally anesthetized at the physician's discretion. Contact photocoagulation requires direct contact of the entire optical window of the disposable contact tip. The physician applies light mechanical pressure to the optical window against the tissue to be treated before depressing the activation trigger of the hand piece. To achieve coagulation, the user depresses the activation trigger. A built-in digital timer deactivates the lamp automatically according to the pulse duration setting preselected by the physician. If the desired treatment site is larger than the optical window, the physician may use overlapping exposures until the entire lesion is coagulated, waiting at least five seconds between exposures. The CooperSurgical IRC consists of the following main components: (1) a control unit; (2) a hand piece; (3) a removable light guide; and (4) a disposable contact tip.

The Bionx Bankart Tack is intended for use to maintain the proximity between soft tissue and bone to facilitate soft tissue reattachment in the repair of shoulder injuries. The Bionx Bankart Tack will be specifically indicated for use to provide internal fixation of soft tissue to bone for repair of anterior shoulder instability by reattachment of the glenoid labrum and/or inferior glenohumeral ligament in patients with primary or recurrent anterior dislocation or subluxation of the shoulder (i.e., Bankart lesions). When used in conjunction with appropriate postoperative immobilization, the Bionx Bankart Tack provides secure tissue stabilization throughout the healing period.

The Bankart Tack is a cannulated tack with a round head and four circumferential rows of scaled edges along the distal end to securely fix the tack in the bone.

The DRTS™ Drape is intended to help prevent contamination of the DRTS™ device when used in the operating room or other surgical environment. The DRTS™ Drape is to be used in an operating room environment to cover the DRTS™ device when it is mounted on an x-ray machine for procedures wherein it is deemed desirable to protect the DRTS™ device from contamination with patient fluids or tissues.

The DRTS™ Drape is a sterile plastic bag to cover the DRTS™ Dual Radiation Targeting System. The drape contains an optically flat clear window that will allow undistorted transmission of the laser beam from the DRTS™ to the patient.

The assay is to be used to detect antibodies in a single serum specimen. The results of the assay are to be used as an aid in the diagnosis of Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE). FOR IN VITRO DIAGNOSTIC USE.

The Ribosomal P ELISA test is an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) for the detection and semi-quantitation of IgG antibodies to Ribosomal P in human sera. The Ribosomal P ELISA test is an enzyme linked immunosorbent assay to detect IgG, M, A, antibodies to Ribosomal P. Purified Ribosomal P antigen is attached to a solid phase microtiter well. Diluted test sera is added to each well. If the antibodies are present that recognize the antigen, they will bind to the antigen in the well. After incubation the wells are washed to remove unbound antibody. An enzyme labeled antihuman IgG, M. A is added to each well. If antibody is present it will bind to the antibody attached to the antigen on well. After incubation the wells are washed to remove unbound conjugate. A substrate solution is added to each well. If enzyme is present the substrate will undergo a color change. After an incubation period the reaction is stopped and the color intensity is measured photometrically, producing an indirect measurement of specific antibody in the patient specimen.
