User should be aware that the effects of unvalidated sterilization protocols could result in damage
to the components and affect their functioning or performance. The STar™ Drive Adapter Kit is not
validated for use with alternative sterilization protocols, and FHC does not recommend or endorse
their use. Users with questions regarding this safety issue should contact FHC’s Technical Service
Department at 1-207-666-8190.
Manual Cleaning Protocol: (Requires STar™ SteriSuite)
1. Prepare the detergent according to manufacturer’s recommendations: Asepti Wash Plus liquid
(2.5 ml per liter or 1/4 oz per gal), using warm tap water.
2. Separate the Drive, positioners, hubs, and Lead Holder and immerse them in the wash solution
for a minmum of 5 minutes. Actuate the devices during the soak.
3. Using a clean soft cloth that has been soaked in the detergent, wipe the tray, and its insert, to
remove any visible soil. Use a soft bristle brush and syringe to reach hard-to-clean areas.
4. Place the Drive and its components back in the tray.
5. Prepare the detergent in a sonication unit according to manufacturer’s recommendations: Asepti
Wash Plus liquid (2.5 ml per liter or 1/4 oz per gal).
6. Immerse the tray in the sonication unit and sonicate for a minimumof 10 minutes.
7. Rinse all components with running reverse osmosis/de-ionized water to remove any residual
detergent.
8. Dry components using a clean soft cloth.

Illustrative Procedure
1. Attach and handtighten standoffs to anchors.
2. Attach platform to standoffs with thumbknobs.
3. Attach the center hub to the platform using 2 screws at 90 degrees apart. Make sure the hub is
completely seated in the platform. The hub will sit approximately 1/8” above the top surface of
the platform.
4. Use the burr hole entry marker with burr hole bushing and mark the skin and skull, then
remove.

5. Remove platform and drill burr hole.
6. Reattach platform.
7. Attach center drive positioner to center hub with tab oriented 45°, 90°, or 135° relative to screw.
Make sure positioner is completely seated in the hub.
8. Attach drive to positioner and secure following drive instructions.
9. Perform MER and implant lead.
10. Remove drive from positioner, then remove platform.
11. Use the standoff wrench to support the standoff while twisting the driver clockwise to secure it
to the standoff. Turn standoff wrench counterclockwise to remove standoff.
12. Use the anchor wrench to support the anchor while twisting the driver clockwise to secure it to
the anchor. Turn anchor wrench counterclockwise to remove anchor.
13. Dispose of used anchors, Standoffs and thumbknobs according to hospital protocol.

Track Selection
Center positioner (9 distinct tracks): Center track on target. Four parallel tracks with 2mm offset,
‘+’ configuration, using positions A, C, E and G. Four parallel tracks with 2mm offset, ‘x’ configuration,
using positions B, D, F and H.
Examples:
Center Positioner, ‘+’
configuration, using any
of positions A, C, E or G,
indicated by the black
dots in the offsetting chart
below.
Center Positioner, ‘X’
configuration, using any
of positions B, D, F or H,
indicated by the red dots in
the offsetting chart.
3mm oset positioner (40 distinct tracks): Five parallel tracks with 2mm offset, center track offset
3mm from origin, in eight configurations using positions A-H.
Examples:
3mm Offset Positioner in
the ‘G’ position, indicated
by the dark blue dots in the
offsetting chart.
3mm Offset Positioner
in the ‘B’
position, indicated by
the magenta dots in the
offsetting chart.
Offsets beyond the 10mm range of the positioner may be reached with the target offset hub.
Track Osetting
Chart
WARNING: The target offset
hub creates a new trajectory
with target area orthogonally
offset 6mm from the original at
the microelectrode tip depth
when the physical drive reads
30mm. For platforms with
T<>30, the offset of 0.69mm
per 10mm of drive travel may
be used to determine position
at target depth.
WARNING: The entry
offset hub creates a new
trajectory which is orthogonally
offset 3mm from original at
approximate entry depth, and
coincides with the original at
the microelectrode tip depth
when the physical drive reads
30mm. For platforms with
T<>30, the offset of 0.34mm
per10mm of drive travel may be
used to determine position at
target depth.
