Indications for Use
The LCCS VC-S RF Cannula is intended for use in RF heat lesion procedures for the relief of pain.
Device Story
The LCCS VC-S RF Cannula is a sterile, single-use, stainless steel needle used in conjunction with an RF electrode and RF generator to perform radiofrequency heat lesion procedures for chronic pain relief. The device features an insulated shaft with a bevel tip and a side port at the distal end, creating Y-shaped energy channels. During operation, an RF electrode is inserted into the cannula; when the electrode extends through the side port, both the active tip and the electrode section protruding from the side port deliver RF energy to the target nerve tissue. The side port also allows for the diffusion of anesthesia near the lesion site. The device is available in various lengths and gauges to accommodate different anatomical locations and patient anatomies. It is intended for use by clinicians in a clinical setting.
Clinical Evidence
Bench testing only. No clinical data provided. Testing included insulation inspection, biocompatibility (cytotoxicity, acute systemic toxicity, sensitization, intracutaneous reactivity, pyrogenicity), accelerated aging, shelf life, and mechanical safety testing in accordance with ISO 10993-1, ISO 7864, and AAMI/ANSI ES 60601-2-2.
Technological Characteristics
Stainless steel cannula with insulated shaft; bevel tip and side port configuration; Y-shaped energy delivery channels. Available in 18G, 20G, 22G gauges and 50mm, 100mm, 150mm lengths. Single-use, sterile, ethylene oxide sterilized. Complies with ISO 10993-1, ISO 7864, and AAMI/ANSI ES 60601-2-2.
Indications for Use
Indicated for use in RF heat lesion procedures for the relief of pain in patients requiring percutaneous nerve blocks or RF denervation of nerve tissue.
Regulatory Classification
