INSTRUCTIONS
1. Confirm the LinkStation MINI or LinkStation MINI Evaluation Kit is setup appropriately outside of the sterile field.
Refer to the VERASENSE User Guide. The LinkStation MINI or LinkStation MINI Evaluation Kit is located outside of the
sterile field and the VERASENSE device and shims are used within the sterile field.
2. Determine the specific implant type and size VERASENSE device required. Remove pouched Shims and device from
the box. DO NOT OPEN POUCH SEALS.
a. Do not use if device or shim set packaging has been opened or damaged.
3. Record VERASENSE device serial number ( ) onto patient and hospital records as required.
4. To activate the VERASENSE device:
a. With the product still in the sealed pouches, place the device directly over the magnet on LinkStation MINI
or LinkStation MINI Evaluation Kit. An LED light will illuminate on the device. Do not move the device until
you observe the following:
i. LED turns off after approximately four (4) seconds.
ii. VERASENSE Software Application launches.
iii. Locate the version of the VERASENSE Software Application (VSA) in the bottom right corner of the
LinkStation MINI or LinkStation MINI display unit. Confirm the version number of the VSA is
greater than 5.1.0.17 for use with VERASENSE for Zimmer Biomet Persona and greater than
5.3.0.64 for use with VERASENSE for Stryker Triathlon with Bluetooth. Check label on the front of
the sensor box for the Bluetooth symbol .

v. Prompt to select left or right leg appears.
b. Device may now be removed from magnet.
5. The VERASENSE Software Application will automatically prompt selection of left or right leg. Select the appropriate
operative leg.
6. Upon completion of the device initiation process as prompted on the VERASENSE Software Application, pass the
sealed pouches to the nurses within the sterile field of the operating room.
7. Open double sealed pouches per hospital protocol (VERASENSE device and shim set).
8. With the VERASENSE device and shims removed from the pouches, apply designated shim to underside of VERASENSE
device.
Note: The VERASENSE for Zimmer Biomet Persona device shim attaches to the top of the device. Attach by
inserting the devices anterior tab into the anterior loop on the shim, engage the posterior snapping
mechanism by squeezing the assembly together. Input the selected shim thickness within the VERASENSE
Software Application.
Note:
Once the product is removed from the pouch, the application of the initial shim, if applicable, relates
to devices without mounted shims (VERASENSE for Stryker Triathlon Sizes 2 & 7, VERASENSE for Zimmer
NexGen, VERASENSE for Smith & Nephew Journey II, and VERASENSE for Smith & Nephew Legion). Apply
desired shim to all VERASENSE for Stryker Triathlon 3-6, VERASENSE for Biomet Vanguard, and VERASENSE
for Zimmer Biomet Persona devices prior to use.
9. To remove the shim, or exchange for another size, simply unsnap the anterior lip of the attached shim and replace.
Note: VERASENSE for Zimmer Biomet Persona shim is removed by distracting the posterior aspect of the
device from shim. This releases the posterior snapping mechanism.
