The Vector Pedicle Screw System is a spinal fixation device classified as a Pedicle Screw System (Product Code NKB) under FDA nomenclature. It is designed for posterior spinal stabilization, providing immobilization of spinal segments via pedicle or non-pedicle screw fixation in skeletally mature patients as an adjunct to spinal fusion procedures.
This system is intended for use in the thoracic, lumbar, and sacral spine to address acute and chronic instabilities or deformities, including degenerative disc disease. Supplied as a reusable surgical instrument set, it requires sterile handling and is regulated under FDA 510(k) clearance (K241276) with a decision of Substantially Equivalent (SESE). No specific MRI safety classification or single-use designation is noted in the available data.
Frequently asked questions
What types of spinal conditions is the Vector Pedicle Screw System intended to address, and where along the spine can it be used?
The Vector Pedicle Screw System is designed for posterior spinal stabilization to address acute or chronic instabilities and deformities in skeletally mature patients. It is specifically intended for use in the thoracic, lumbar, and sacral regions of the spine, often as an adjunct to spinal fusion procedures. This includes conditions like degenerative disc disease, but it is not meant for pediatric or non-skeletally mature patients.
Is the Vector Pedicle Screw System reusable or single-use, and how should it be handled during surgery?
The Vector Pedicle Screw System is supplied as a reusable surgical instrument set, meaning it is intended for multiple uses in different procedures. Since it is reusable, strict sterile handling protocols must be followed to ensure patient safety, including proper cleaning, sterilization, and storage between uses.
What regulatory pathway was followed for FDA clearance of the Vector Pedicle Screw System, and what does this mean for its use?
The Vector Pedicle Screw System received FDA clearance through a Traditional 510(k) pathway, specifically under the Orthopedic Advisory Committee (OR). The decision was marked as Substantially Equivalent (SESE), meaning the device was determined to be as safe and effective as a legally marketed predicate device. This clearance allows for its use in the specified indications under the conditions outlined in the FDA submission.
Are there any specific storage requirements for the Vector Pedicle Screw System, and does it have any special considerations for MRI safety?
The available data does not specify any unique storage requirements beyond standard surgical instrument care for a reusable system. Additionally, there is no mention of an MRI safety classification for the Vector Pedicle Screw System, so its compatibility with MRI should be verified on a case-by-case basis or per manufacturer guidelines, as metallic implants can pose risks in MRI environments.
