What It Is
FDA-Cleared Indications
- Use in tumor-ablation procedures as described in the FDA-cleared labeling.
- Integration with compatible tumor-ablation systems for procedure control or monitoring.
Clinical Applications
- Supporting image-guided ablation of tumors when used with compatible ablation equipment.
- Providing an interface for control or monitoring during tumor-ablation procedures.
- Use in interventional oncology procedures involving tumors when the complete system is used according to its labeling.
Practical Considerations
- Compatibility depends on the specific tumor-ablation system, software, connectors, and accessories; verify the equipment combination before use.
- The device should be installed, configured, and tested according to the manufacturer’s instructions by trained personnel.
- The available FDA record does not establish that the interface itself is MRI safe or MR conditional. Confirm the labeling for the complete system before use in or near an MRI environment.
- The FDA record provided does not specify device dimensions, patient-contacting components, or a replacement interval.
- Use should follow the labeling for the connected ablation system, including its contraindications, calibration requirements, and electrical-safety precautions.
