Intended Use

The DIROS OWL™ URF-3AP(ML) LESION GENERATOR is intended for the following: 1. Lesioning nerve tissue for functional neurosurgical procedures such as thalamotomies, pallidotomies, tractomies, and myelotomies; or 2. radiofrequency heat lesion procedures for the relief of pain. The MLA-4 Multi-Lesion adaptor is not intended for use in brain surgery.

Device Story

Diros OWL URF-3AP(ML) is a radiofrequency (RF) lesion generator used by qualified medical personnel to create heat ablative lesions in nerve tissue. Input: RF energy (up to 50W at 481kHz) delivered via probes; system monitors probe temperature, power, duration, and impedance. Operation: Controlled heating of tissue surrounding electrode tip; thermosensor feedback regulates temperature; impedance monitoring ensures safety. Output: RF energy for ablation; low-frequency stimulus pulses (monopolar mode) for nerve localization. The MLA-4 adaptor enables up to four simultaneous lesions (excluding brain surgery). Clinical use: Treatment of movement disorders (e.g., Parkinson's tremor) or pain relief (e.g., facet joint nerves). Healthcare providers use real-time display data to guide lesion creation, directly impacting surgical precision and patient outcomes through targeted nerve destruction.

Clinical Evidence

Bench testing only. Performance validated through risk analysis (ISO 14971) and electrical/mechanical safety testing per IEC 60601-1, UL 60601-1, CAN/CSA C22.2 No. 601.1-M90, IEC 60601-1-2, FCC 15 Subpart B, and IEC 60601-2-2. Software performance testing conducted to verify functional requirements.

Technological Characteristics

RF generator (481kHz, 50W max); monopolar/bipolar capability; thermosensor-based temperature control; impedance monitoring; MLA-4 multi-lesion adaptor. Standards: IEC 60601-1, UL 60601-1, CAN/CSA C22.2 No. 601.1-M90, IEC 60601-1-2, FCC 15 Subpart B, IEC 60601-2-2. Connectivity: Standalone system with probe inputs.

Indications for Use

Indicated for patients requiring functional neurosurgical procedures (thalamotomies, pallidotomies, tractomies, myelotomies) or radiofrequency heat lesioning for pain relief. MLA-4 adaptor contraindicated for brain surgery.

Regulatory Classification

Identification

A radiofrequency lesion generator is a device used to produce lesions in the nervous system or other tissue by the direct application of radiofrequency currents to selected sites.

All systems are using the same fundamental scientific technology. - > Similar key design technical characteristics- Pain relief is achieved by the controlled heating of the area surrounding the electrode tip. A thermosensor in the probe is used to control tissue temperature. Impedance values are displayed to guard against unsafe conditions. The PMG-115 includes an accessory that provides up to four simultaneous lesions. - Same/similar components for treatment and measurement. > - > Similar size, power source, and performance ## Description: The Diros OWL™ radiofrequency generator URF-3AP(ML) is used by qualified medical personnel to make heat ablative lesions in central or peripheral nerve tissue for the treatment of movement disorders or for the relief of pain. The lesions are ablative in order to be therapeutic; i.e. the destruction of a small portion of the thalamus within the brain interferes with the motor pathway causing the tremor of Parkinson's disease, thereby relieving the tremor; or the destruction of the facet joint nerves in the lumbar vertebrae to block pain transmission by these nerves and thereby relieve certain types of low back pain. {2}------------------------------------------------ Image /page/2/Picture/1 description: The image shows a logo or emblem with the letters 'DTI' prominently displayed. The 'D' is a large, blocky letter on the left, and the 'I' is a vertical line on the right. In the center, between the 'D' and the 'I', there is a symbol that resembles a stylized caduceus, which is often associated with medicine or commerce. The overall design appears to be somewhat textured or patterned, giving it a slightly rough or vintage look. #### DIROS TECHNOLOGY INC. 510(K) SUBMITTAL OWL™ RF LESION GENERATOR MODEL URF-3AP WITH MULTI-LESION ADAPTOR (MLA-4) The URF-3AP(ML) supplies up to 50 Watts of Radio Frequency energy at 481kHz under power or temperature control while continuously monitoring and displaying actual power delivered, measured probe temperature, time of power duration, and measured impedance. This 50W RF source can be directed to one of four channels, one at a time, to create simultaneously up to four lesions. When used with monopolar probes, the system also delivers low-frequency stimulus pulses in either voltage or current controlled modes. ## Indications for Use: The DIROS OWL™ URF-3AP(ML) SYSTEM is intended for the following: - 1. Lesioning nerve tissue for functional neurosurgical procedures such as thalamotomies, pallidotomies, tractomies, and myelotomies; or - 2. radiofrequency heat lesion procedures for the relief of pain The MLA-4 Multi-Lesion adaptor is not intended for use in brain surgery. ## Summary of Performance Testing: A risk analysis identifying potential hazards and documenting mitigations of the hazards has been developed and applied as part of the DIROS OWL TMURF-3AP(ML) product development cycle. The risk analysis is based on EN 1441/ISO14971 - Risk Analysis for Medical Devices. Testing was performed to validate the functional performance of the DIROS system. In particular, specific performance testing of the software was performed to show that the performance was met. The DIROS OWL™ URF-3AP(ML) has been subjected to performance testing to applicable safety, electrical, mechanical, EMC standards.
