Intended Use
The Monteris Medical AutoLITT System is indicated for use to 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 AutoLITT 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) AutoLITT Laser Delivery Probe. 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 AutoLITT analysis.
Device Story
System comprises laser probe, probe driver, and VizApp software. Used in neurosurgery for interstitial laser thermal therapy. Inputs: MRI images. Operation: Physician uses software for MRI-based trajectory planning to guide stereotaxic placement of laser probe; system performs real-time thermographic analysis of MRI images during therapy. Output: Visualized trajectory planning and thermographic data. Physician interprets output to assess thermal therapy progress. Benefits: Enables precise, MRI-guided soft tissue coagulation/necrosis. Not for sole use in patient management decisions.
Clinical Evidence
No clinical data. Evidence consists of biocompatibility testing per ISO 10993, bench testing for product labeling compliance, and animal testing demonstrating successful brain tissue coagulation under MRI guidance.
Technological Characteristics
System includes laser delivery probe, probe driver, and VizApp software. Uses 1064 nm laser energy. MRI-compatible (conditional). Software provides trajectory planning and real-time thermographic analysis. Biocompatibility per ISO 10993.
Indications for Use
Indicated for neurosurgical patients requiring soft tissue necrosis or coagulation via 1064 nm interstitial laser thermal therapy. Intended for use by trained physicians for MRI-guided trajectory planning and real-time thermographic monitoring.
Regulatory Classification
Identification
(1) A carbon dioxide laser for use in general surgery and in dermatology is a laser device intended to cut, destroy, or remove tissue by light energy emitted by carbon dioxide.(2) An argon laser for use in dermatology is a laser device intended to destroy or coagulate tissue by light energy emitted by argon.
