5. Reason for Authority Cited: OrthoPediatrics Corp. is the only vendor which can provide the Adolescent Idiopathic Spinal

System. The physician has determined that the features and surgical implementation, unique to this product such as: a set screw design for better fixation and easy insertion; low profile screws designed specifically for pediatric indications, will meet the patient’s critical needs and ensure the best chance for a successful surgical outcome. The patients are scheduled for surgery on 6/15/15, 6/22/15, and 6/29/15. Delay of this medical procedure will be detrimental to the patient’s care.

Market research indicates that the Adolescent Response Spine System is distributed exclusively by OrthoPediatrics and there are no other vendors that supply this item.
