Reason

During review of the IFU, it was detected additional missing contraindications, and reprocessing instructions also required revision. There is no clinical data linked to the usage of the DS Clips for the closure of the renal artery or renal vein during nephrectomies in living donor patients, Aesculap wants to avoid any potential patient risk by including this and other contraindications and also revising the cleaning and sterilization instructions.
