The Lite-Med LM-9300 ELMA Lithotripter is indicated for fragmentation of kidney stones such as renal calyx stones and renal pelvic stones and for upper, middle and lower ureteral stones by extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy (ESWL).

The Lite-Med LM-9000 ELMA is an Electromagnetic Extracorporeal Shock Wave Lithotripter that effectively treats urinary calculi. It is routinely used for the fragmentation of kidney and ureteral stones and offers a good combination of clinical performance, flexibility and affordability. The standard LM-9300 ELMA system consists of a shockwave generator, an operator interface (industrial computer with dual monitors), a water circulation subsystem and a patient handling subsystem. For the Extracorporeal Shock Wave Lithotripsy (ESWL) operation to be fully functional, one or two more subsystems are necessary. The first is a C-arm X-ray fluoroscopy device and the second is an ultrasound imaging unit. Normally one of the imaging devices is sufficient. For most advanced ESWL designs such as LM-9300 ELMA both X-ray and ultrasound are used for patient positioning and monitoring purposes.

Shock waves are generated on the basis of a principle similar to that used in loudspeakers. An electrical impulse is sent through an inductance coil, generating a magnetic field which repulses a metallic membrane. The acoustic impulse created by this repulsion is focused by an acoustic lens to form a shock wave. A water circulation subsystem is used to provide transmission of shockwaves and cooling of the generator.

1. Table of Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance

The document does not explicitly state "acceptance criteria" in a typical quantitative pass/fail format for a diagnostic device. Instead, it describes performance based on the clinical outcome of stone fragmentation. The key performance indicator is the "stone-free ratio."
