AI-generated answers, 18 Sep 2026
Are these screws meant for anterior or posterior spinal fixation, and how do they work with the Viper System?
The Viper Prime Screws with Fenestrations are specifically designed for posterior spinal fixation. They provide immobilization and stabilization of spinal segments when used alongside other components of the Viper System, offering structural support during spinal surgery. The fenestrations allow for bone growth through the screw, enhancing integration with the spine.
Are these screws single-use or reusable, and what sterilization process is required before use?
These screws are single-use only and are supplied in a non-sterile state. They must be sterilized prior to use following the manufacturer’s guidelines to ensure safety and efficacy. Proper sterilization is critical before implantation to maintain device integrity and prevent infection.
What regulatory pathways have been followed for this device, and which advisory committee was involved?
The Viper Prime Screws with Fenestrations have undergone FDA 510(k) clearance (K170543) under the Traditional pathway, with a decision of Substantially Equivalent (SESE). The review was conducted by the Orthopedic (OR) Advisory Committee. Additionally, the device complies with the EU Medical Device Regulation (MDR).
How are these screws stored, and are there specific handling instructions I should follow?
While exact storage conditions are detailed in the manufacturer’s guidelines, these screws are non-sterile and must be stored in a clean, dry environment to prevent contamination. Since they require sterilization before use, proper packaging integrity must be maintained until sterilization is completed. Always follow Medos International’s instructions to avoid damage or compromise of the device.
