## Indications for use
The Monteris Medical NeuroBlate™ System is indicated for use to ablate, necrotize, or coagulate intracranial soft tissue, including brain structures, 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 near 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.
