CTE Impaction Sleeve
CAUTION: Do not attempt to connect the Canary CTE to the Zimmer Biomet Persona® Knee tibial
plate without the Canary Medical instrumentation. Use of different instrumentation may result
in incorrect connection or damage to the implant components.
After preparation of the patient and confirmation of the trial devices, perform the following
steps:
1. Remove and discard the plastic cap on the Zimmer tibial plate.
2. Remove and retain the set screw on the Zimmer tibia plate.
3. Place the CTE implant into the Zimmer tibia plate while aligning the anterior lines on each
component.
4. Place the CTE Impaction Sleeve over the CTE implant and strike the CTE Impaction Sleeve
multiple times with a 2 pound surgical hammer.
5. Tighten the set screw on the Zimmer tibia plate using the torque limiting Zimmer
instrumentation.
6. Remove the CTE Impaction Sleeve.
7. After successful attachment of the CTE implant to the Zimmer tibia plate, discard the
impaction sleeve as medical waste.
CAUTION: Be sure to remove the CTE Impaction Sleeve from the assembled prosthesis. Do not
implant the Impaction Sleeve.
WARNING: The Impaction Sleeve is single use only. After use, discard the Impaction sleeve as
medical waste. Re-use of single use devices can result in serious patient injury, infection, or
death.
8. Optional: A Self-Test can be performed from the OR Base Station to ensure the CTE
implant is still functional after assembly.
9. Mix and apply the PMMA bone cement and apply it to the Zimmer Biomet tibial plate and
CTE implant.
10. Place the assembled knee prosthesis into the anatomy and proceed as usual for a TKA
procedure.
