NeuroBlate System

The Monteris Medical NeuroBlate™ System is indicated for use to ablate, necrotize, or coagulate soft tissue through interstitial irradiation or thermal therapy in medicine and surgery in the discipline of neurosurgery with 1064 nm lasers. The Monteris Medical NeuroBlate™ System is intended for planning and monitoring thermal therapies under MRI visualization. It provides MRI based trajectory planning assistance for the stereotaxic placement of MRI compatible (conditional) NeuroBlate™ Laser Delivery Probes. It also provides real-time thermographic analysis of selected MRI images. When interpreted by a trained physician, this System provides information that may be useful in the determination or assessment of thermal therapy. Patient management decisions should not be made solely on the basis of the NeuroBlate™ System analysis.

The Monteris NeuroBlate™ System is a collection of MRI-compatible laser devices and accessories that create an MRI guided delivery of precision thermal therapy in the practice of neurosurgery. The NeuroBlate System components consist of: Families of gas-cooled Laser Delivery Probes (Probe) (SideFire & FullFire) to deliver controlled energy to a target zone. This application includes the smaller diameter SideFire Select and FullFire Select families of Probes; Probe Drivers (Advanced Probe Driver, Robotic Probe Driver) which allow the surgeon to precisely position, stabilize and manipulate a probe, endoscope or other device within the target zone; An Interface Platform, which attaches to the MRI system patient table and provides supporting electronics for the Probe Drivers and interconnections for the Laser Delivery Probes; A System Electronics Rack and Components, which includes necessary umbilicals, cables, penetration panels, and small hardware for system mechanical, electrical, and electronic operation; and A Control Workstation including the M-Vision™ software, which includes a user interface for procedure planning, interactive monitoring of NeuroBlate™ procedures, and interfaces to the MRI and hardware subsystems. This submission adds a line of 2.2mm Reduced Diameter Probes to the existing 3.3mm diameter probes. They will be known as the SideFire Select™ and FullFire Select™ Probes.
