156 medical device reports received by FDA name the brand "Reform Pedicle Screw System" (screwdriver); the manufacturer given most often on reports is Precision Spine; received from September 2019 to January 2026. Brand names are as the reporter or manufacturer wrote them, so one product can appear under several spellings.

12 reports arrived in the 12 months to August 2026, down 25% from 16 in the 12 months before. FDA releases MAUDE data monthly; reports can arrive months after an event, so the newest months grow in later releases. The event types recorded are malfunction (75%) and injury (25%); across all screwdriver reports (product code HXX) death is recorded in 0% and malfunction in 92.7%.

The patient problems coded most often are foreign body in patient, device embedded in tissue or plaque and tissue damage. FDA states that "MDR data alone cannot be used to establish rates of events, evaluate a change in event rates over time or compare event rates between devices. The number of reports cannot be interpreted or used in isolation to reach conclusions about the existence, severity, or frequency of problems associated with devices." It adds that the reporting system "has limitations, including the potential submission of incomplete, inaccurate, untimely, unverified, or biased data."
