OSTEOCOOL RF ABLATION SYSTEM AND BONE ACCESS KITS
SURGICAL TECHNIQUE

The OsteoCool RF Ablation System
is indicated for palliative treatment
in spinal procedures by ablation of
metastatic malignant lesions in a
vertebral body. The System contains
an RF Generator, Peristaltic Pump and
the Connector hub, which provides two
channels for the use of the OsteoCool
RF Ablation Probes and two channels
for use of the OsteoCool Independent
Thermocouples.

The OsteoCool RF Ablation Probe
uses a coaxial, bipolar technology
that delivers localized tumor ablation
and automatically moderates power
to keep RF heating within the desired
treatment range, reducing risks of
potential thermal damage to adjacent
structures. The active tip of the RF
Ablation Probe is internally-cooled with
circulating water. RF energy heats the
tissue while circulating water moderates
the temperature in close proximity to
the active tip. This combination creates
large volume lesions without excessive
heating at the active tip. The OsteoCool
RF Ablation Probes are sterile and
intended for use within a single
vertebral body.

Important
This guide does not replace the information in the Instructions for Use provided
with the components of the OsteoCool RF Ablation System, OsteoCool RF
Ablation Probes, OsteoCool Bone Access Kits and the OsteoCool Independent
Thermocouple. The Instructions for Use includes important information such as
warnings, precautions, contraindications, and troubleshooting. It is important to read
the Instructions For Use and these precautions carefully prior to device operation.
Additional help information can be accessed through the “help” button located on the
generator screen.

The OsteoCool Bone Access Kit is a
single use device intended to contact
body tissues. Do not reuse, reprocess, or
resterilize.
The OsteoCool Independent
Thermocouple is for optional
temperature monitoring at or near the
site of ablation.
A physician using this equipment must
be familiar with spine anatomy, imageguided spine procedures and vertebral
body access techniques.

form the OsteoCool osteointroducer.
2. Using fluoroscopic image guidance,
insert the osteointroducer at the
desired site.
3. Using manual control and appropriate

Note
Markings on the Cannulas should
be used as reference marks
only. They are not intended to
replace the use of fluoroscopic
observation.

imaging guidance, advance the
osteointroducer through the soft
tissues into the selected bone to the
desired depth.
4. A surgical mallet may be used
to augment the insertion of the
osteointroducer.

Note
The design of the OsteoCool
osteointroducer offers an internal stylet
that extends beyond the distal end of the
cannula. This design is intended to provide
a visual indication under image guidance of
where the posterior margin of the ablation
zone with the OsteoCool RF Ablation
probe will stop.

Caution
To maintain structural integrity, do
not advance the Cannula without the
Stylet fully inserted.
