Intended Use
The VIPER PRIME navigated inserter is a navigated instrument for insertion of VIPER PRIME screws in open or percutaneous procedures. The VIPER PRIME navigated inserter is inspinal surgical procedures, in which: · use of the VIPER System is indicated, · use of stereotactic surgery may be appropriate, and · where reference to a rigid anatomical structure, such as the pelvis or a vertebrae can be identified relative to the acquired image (CT, MR, 2D fluoroscopic image or 3D fluoroscopic image reconstruction) and/or an image data based model of the anatomy using a navigation system which includes universal tracking arrays supplied by the navigation manufacturer. These procedures include but are not limited to spinal fusion. The VIPER PRIME navigated inserter requires manual calibration.

#### H. Materials
The VIPER PRIME navigated inserter is manufactured from stainless steel, titanium alloy (Ti-6Al-4V) and RADEL .
### l. Performance Data
Non-clinical sawbones testing was conducted to confirm device performance for the intended use. The testing consisted of assembly of the VIPER PRIME navigated inserter with the third party universal tracking arrays, manual calibration and navigated insertion of VIPER PRIME screws in a sawbones model. Final screw position in the software was confirmed using a second imaging modality.
### J. Conclusion
The indications for use and intended use of the VIPER PRIME navigated inserter are consistent with those of the primary predicate device. The technological characteristics of the VIPER PRIME navigated inserter in terms of design, materials and performance are consistent with those of the predicate device. The VIPER PRIME navigated inserter is substantially equivalent to the primary predicate device.
