Intended Use

The JM-S40 Endovenous Radiofrequency Generator is intended for use with CuraWay's Endovenous RF Catheter intended for vessel and tissue coagulation. The Endovenous Radiofrequency Catheter is intended to be used with CuraWay's JM-S40 Endovenous RF Generator indicated for endovascular coagulation of blood vessels in patients with superficial vein reflux.

Device Story

The JM-S40 Endovenous Radiofrequency Generator and associated Endovenous Radiofrequency Catheter are used for vessel and tissue coagulation. The generator outputs high-frequency alternating current (480 kHz) to the catheter, which acts as the applied part. The system provides real-time monitoring of temperature, power, and impedance. During operation, the generator controls current output via a software algorithm to heat the vein wall, causing endothelial degeneration, collagen contraction, and fibrosis. The device includes safety features such as automatic power cutoff if catheter temperature exceeds 130°C, manual stop capability, and alarms for connection interruptions. It is intended for use by healthcare professionals in a clinical setting. The output allows physicians to perform endovenous ablation, benefiting patients by treating superficial vein reflux.

Clinical Evidence

No human clinical data provided. Evidence includes ex-vivo thermal spread testing on bovine liver tissue and in-vivo animal (goat) testing. Animal study endpoints included general observation, blood routine, blood biochemistry, ultrasound monitoring, histopathological examination, intravascular blood coagulation, vascular wall thermal damage, and inflammation. Results demonstrated substantial equivalence to the predicate device.
