Polyaxial screws 8x 80 and larger may disassociate when inserting in the ilium. VIPER large diameter long screws in high-torque circumstances, the screw shank has the potential to separate from the polyaxial head.

The agency’s own wording, quoted from the enforcement report.

The unit total adds up the quantities the agency stated for each product. Where a product record gave no figure, or gave a weight rather than a count, it contributes nothing — so the real total is at least this, never less.
