title: Using Medtronic's MAST Quadrant, Radiance, and Radiance X Illumination Systems with high-power light sources increases burn risk.
abstract: Connecting the Medtronic MAST Quadrant Illumination System, Radiance Illumination System, or Radiance X Illumination System--all of which are specialized fiberoptic light cables used with the company's minimally invasive spinal products--to a high-power surgical light source significantly increases the risk of patient burns. Hospitals should ensure that the products are used only with 100 W light sources and 5 mm light cables, as prescribed in the product labeling.
