  • Designed for 4-7 cm soft tissue ablations with nine arrays and an active trocar tip.
  • Offers scalable, spherical ablations with dynamic temperature readouts, faster ablation times, and an infusion-based system for increased conductivity.
StarBurst XL RFA Device:
  • Ensures sustained target temperatures with a multi-point feedback system, producing 3-5 cm scalable, spherical ablations.
  • Features a slim handle design compatible with CT and MRI gantries.
StarBurst SDE RFA Device:
  • Side-deployed arrays for precise positioning, designed for small lesions with a smaller needle gauge.
  • Provides dynamic temperature readouts and multi-point feedback.
UniBlate RFA Device:
  • Offers linear, scalable ablations from 1 to 3 cm, compatible with CT gantries, and includes a built-in thermocouple for temperature feedback.
1500X RF Generator:
  • Supplies RF energy for coagulation and ablation of soft tissue, equipped with computer-driven protocols for optimal temperature maintenance.
  • Features a remote foot pedal and "Smart Card" technology for upgrades.
IntelliFlow Pump:
  • Used with the 1500X generator for saline infusion during ablation, offering automated communication with the generator and easy setup.
Specifications and Accessories:
  • Includes detailed specifications for each device, such as lengths, outer diameters, and unique product numbers (UPNs), along with replacement parts and accessories for the RF generator and IntelliFlow pump.
Indications for Use: The UniBlate Electrosurgical Device is intended for coagulation and ablation of tissue during various surgical procedures, including non-resectable liver lesions and palliation of pain from metastatic bone lesions, for patients who have failed or are not candidates for standard therapy.
Description: The UniBlate device features an insulated primary trocar with infusion holes and a temperature sensor, compatible with the RITA 1500X RF Generator and IntelliFlow Infusion Pump for soft tissue ablation.
Warnings and Precautions: The device is for single use only. Avoid bending or kinking the trocar, and do not attach anything to the device to prevent damage and potential patient injury. Ensure proper placement and follow manufacturer guidelines for ablation time and temperature. The device is not MRI safe.
Potential Complications: Complications may include bleeding, abscesses, fractures, and nerve damage. The device should not be reused to avoid infection risks.
IntelliFlow Infusion Pump: This pump is used with the 1500X RF Generator for saline delivery during ablation procedures. It should not be used for drug delivery or in MRI procedures. Ensure the pump is not damaged or occluded to prevent unpredictable lesion sizes.
Warnings for IntelliFlow Pump: Avoid liquid exposure to prevent electric shock. The RF Generator should not be used if damaged, and it may interfere with other electronic medical equipment, including pacemakers.
Potential Complications for IntelliFlow Pump: Possible issues include bleeding, infection, gas embolism, and thermal injury. Follow all instructions to minimize risks.
Legal and Safety Notices: The sale of these devices is restricted by federal law to orders by a physician. It is crucial to adhere to all instructions and warnings provided to ensure patient safety and device effectiveness.
