This is the same intended use as the SMK Cannula and TIC Cannula. ## Device Story Disposable, insulated cannula; used with Radionics Radiofrequency Lesion Generator and SMK-TC thermocouple electrodes; creates heat lesions for pain relief. Used by physicians in clinical settings. Device functions as a conduit for RF energy delivery to target tissue; provides mechanical access for electrode placement. Benefits include standardized, disposable interface for RF lesioning procedures. ## Clinical Evidence Bench testing only; no clinical data provided. ## Technological Characteristics Insulated disposable cannula; compatible with Radionics SMK-TC thermocouple electrodes; designed for use with Radionics RF lesion generators. Materials consistent with predicate TIC Cannula. ## Regulatory 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. ## Predicate Devices - SMK Cannula ([K870028](/device/K870028.md)) - Radionics TIC Cannula (pre-amendment) ## Submission Summary (Full Text) > This content was OCRed from public FDA records by [Innolitics](https://innolitics.com).
