Frequently asked questions

What types of orthopedic procedures is this fixation set designed to assist with?

This set is designed for internal fixation in orthopedic procedures, specifically to stabilize bone fractures or surgical repairs. The components—including screws and staples—are engineered for compression and secure fixation, while the guide wire aids in precise placement during surgery. It is not intended for any other clinical applications beyond these stabilization purposes.

Is this device intended for reuse or single-use, and how is it supplied?

This device is explicitly intended for single-use only in orthopedic settings. It is supplied sterile, ensuring readiness for immediate surgical use without the need for additional sterilization or reprocessing.

What regulatory pathways has this device undergone, and what does that mean for its use?

The device has received FDA 510(k) clearance under the Traditional pathway (K121277) and MDR authorization, confirming compliance with both U.S. and EU regulatory standards. This means it has been evaluated for safety and performance in its intended orthopedic fixation applications and is legally marketable in jurisdictions adhering to these frameworks.

How do the screws and staples in this set differ in function, and what role does the guide wire play?

The Z-Snap Off Screw and Z-Double Thread Compression Screw are designed for secure fixation and compression of bone fragments, ensuring stability during healing. The Z-Staple provides an alternative fixation method for certain procedures. The Z-Guide Wire assists surgeons in achieving precise placement of these components, reducing the risk of misalignment during surgery.

What storage requirements should be followed for this sterile orthopedic fixation set?

Since the device is supplied sterile, it should be stored in its original packaging until use to maintain sterility.
