No
The summary describes a system for MRI-guided thermal therapy with planning and monitoring software, but there is no mention of AI or ML capabilities. The software provides "trajectory planning assistance" and "real-time thermographic analysis," which are typical functions of medical imaging software and do not inherently require AI/ML.
Yes
The device is used to ablate, necrotize, or coagulate soft tissue through interstitial irradiation or thermal therapy, which directly treats or modifies a disease or condition.
No
The device is primarily an interventional device for ablating, necrotizing, or coagulating soft tissue using lasers, and for planning and monitoring these thermal therapies. While it provides "information that may be useful in the determination or assessment of thermal therapy" and "real-time thermographic analysis of selected MRI images," its core function is therapeutic intervention rather than diagnosis of a disease or condition. The text explicitly states "Patient management decisions should not be made solely on the basis of the NeuroBlate™ System analysis," further indicating it's not a standalone diagnostic tool.
No
The device description explicitly lists multiple hardware components including a Laser Delivery Probe, Probe Driver, System Electronics Rack and Components, and a Control Workstation. While it includes software (M Vision™ Software), it is part of a larger hardware system.
Based on the provided information, the Monteris Medical NeuroBlate™ System is not an In Vitro Diagnostic (IVD) device.
Here's why:
- IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostics are devices intended for use in the collection, preparation, and examination of specimens taken from the human body (such as blood, urine, or tissue) to provide information for diagnostic purposes.
- NeuroBlate System Function: The NeuroBlate System is designed for therapeutic purposes – specifically, to ablate, necrotize, or coagulate soft tissue using lasers. It is a surgical tool used directly on the patient's tissue, not for analyzing samples taken from the body.
- Intended Use: The intended use clearly states its purpose is for "ablate, necrotize, or coagulate soft tissue" and "planning and monitoring thermal therapies under MRI visualization." This is a treatment modality, not a diagnostic test performed on a sample.
- Device Description: The components described (laser delivery probe, probe driver, electronics, control workstation) are all consistent with a surgical/therapeutic system, not an IVD.
While the system provides "information that may be useful in the determination or assessment of thermal therapy" through real-time thermographic analysis, this information is used to guide and monitor the treatment, not to diagnose a disease or condition from a biological sample. The information is derived from the direct interaction of the device with the patient's tissue during the procedure.

This submission adds a line of Diffusing Tip Laser Delivery Probes (DTP) to the existing line of Side-Firing Laser Delivery Probes.
d. Indications for Use
The Monteris Medical NeuroBlate™ System is indicated for use to ablate, 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 NeuroBlate™ 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) NeuroBlate™ Laser Delivery Probes. 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 NeuroBlate™ System analysis.
e. Comparison to Predicate Device
The application Monteris Medical NeuroBlate™ System with the Side-Firing and Diffusing Tip Laser Delivery Probes is substantially equivalent to the predicate Monteris NeuroBlate™ System with only the Side-Firing Laser Delivery Probes in intended use. technology, design and physician use.
The Indications for Use for the modified NeuroBlate System are unchanged from the predicate NeuroBlate System. The fundamental technology is also unchanged.
All patient contacting materials are identical in composition, source, and use with respect to the predicate device.
2
The technical modes of action and technical principles are materially the same as the predicate devices.
The application System with the Diffusing-Tip Laser Delivery Probe can create larger ablation lesion volumes during laser firing than the predicate Side-Firing Probe. The Side-Firing Probe remains useful for fine-tuning the edges of an ablation target or for focal energy delivery if probe position within the target warrants such use.
Bench testing has demonstrated that the System is in compliance with the medical community's expectations and the product labeling. It demonstrates that NeuroBlate system works as well with the Diffusing-Tip Probe as it does with the Side-Firing Probe.
As the modifications presented in the current device do not change the intended use, operating principles, or raise any unaddressed safety concerns, with respect to the predicate device, it can be concluded the application NeuroBlate™ System with the added Diffusing Tip Laser Delivery Probe is substantially equivalent to the predicate NeuroBlate™ System.
f. Summary of Supporting Data
Bench and animal testing has demonstrated that the System in general, and the DTP in particular, are in compliance with the medical community's expectations and the product labeling.
