The following are general warnings that apply to the NeuroBlate System as a whole;
please consult the complete NeuroBlate System IFU for device specific instructions
for all accessories used (such as the Dornier Laser, Monteris AtamA, Monteris AXiiiS,
and system MRI) for warnings specific to those devices.
WARNING:
•
Damaging the lens may result in malfunction that may increase the risk of CO
2
release and potential of lens material being left in the brain.
•
Laser Delivery Probe advancement into, or laser ablation in cerebral vasculature
or highly vascularized targets (especially in patients with predisposition to
bleeding) may result in hemorrhage.
•
Inserting the probe along the trajectory to the target tissue, and/or laser
ablation near eloquent brain areas, may result in collateral damage to
anatomical structures and related patient complications.
•
Perioperative complications for brain surgeries such as MRI-guided neurosurgical
ablation may include: sensory, cognitive, or motor deficits; hemorrhage; brain
edema/swelling; seizures; general weakness/paralysis; pain; infection (e.g.,
meningitis or surgical site infection); bone fracture; allergic anaphylactic
reaction; cardiac arrest; or death.
•
The minimally invasive nature of the procedure may result in noticeable effects
of edema/swelling—consider prophylactic steroid administration for all patients
and use extreme caution in ablating targets greater than 20cc.
•
Increased variability of heat conduction and MRI thermometry in areas of
dissimilar tissues and heat sinks (e.g., near the brain surface, near bone, near
large volumes of cerebral spinal fluid, near large blood vessels) may increase the
risk of collateral damage to tissues adjacent to the targeted lesion.
•
Image artifacts due to nearby devices (e.g., trajectory devices such as the
Monteris Mini-Bolt) may impair MR thermal imaging and therefore the
estimation of the tissue temperature near the surface of the brain. Such
artifacts may result in an inability to monitor thermal damage which may lead to
unintended tissue damage.
•
Continued ablation in the presence of MR imaging artifacts may result in
unintended tissue damage.
•
Repeated insertions of a laser probe may increase the risk of surgical
complications.
•
The system must be operated by trained personnel under the direct supervision
of a trained physician.
