FDA Clears Monteris’ Optic Laser Probe for NeuroBlate System

The FDA granted 510(k) clearance for Monteris’ fiber optic controlled, cooling-equipped laser probe for use with its NeuroBlate system.

The laser probe’s metal thermocouple has been replaced with a non-metallic fiber optic temperature sensor, eliminating risks of unintentional probe heating and allowing for more freedom in trajectory customization while positioning and planning the surgical procedure.

Monteris’ NeuroBlate system, a minimally invasive, MRI-guided robotic laser thermotherapy device, is used to assist in the treatment of brain tumors and epileptic foci.
