Indications For Use

The Stryker RF MultiGen (generator), in combination with the Stryker RF Electrodes and Cannulae, are intended for coagulation of soft tissues in orthopedic, spinal, and neurosurgical applications. Examples include, but are not limited to: Facette Denervation, Percutaneous Chordotomy/Dorsal Root Entry Zone (DREZ) Lesion, Trigeminus Neuralgia, Peripheral Neuralgia and Rhizotomy.

The Stryker MultiGen Cable is intended for coagulation of soft tissues in orthopedic, arthroscopic, spinal, and neurosurgical applications in combination with the separately cleared Stryker RF MultiGen, Electrodes and Cannulae. Examples of procedures include, but are not limited to, Facette Denervation, Percutaneous Chordotomy/Dorsal Root Entry Zone (DREZ) Lesion, Trigeminus Neuralgia, and Rhizotomy. The Stryker RF Intradiscal Adapter Cable is intended for the coagulation and decompression of disc material to treat symptomatic patients with annular disruption of contained herniated discs. The cable will be used with the previously cleared Stryker Intradiscal RF Generator and catheters such as Smith & Nephew SPINECATHR and ACUTHERM™ catheters.

Use of the Smith & Nephew SPINECATH Intradiscal Catheter and the ACUTHERM Decompression Catheter are appropriate for treating patients with herniations of intervertebral discs who would typically undergo automated or laser percutaneous lumbar discectomy.

Contraindications

The contraindications for the Stryker RF Intradiscal Adapter Cable would be the same as those for the catheter to which it is attached. The contraindications included in the instructions for use for the Smith & Nephew SPINECATH Intradiscal Catheter and the ACUTHERM Decompression Catheter are:

  • Use of the SPINECATH Intradiscal Catheter is not appropriate for treating patients who present pain that is suspected to originate from structures other than contained herniated discs, or when free fragments or severe bony stenosis are present. In addition, patients presenting severely degenerative or disrupted discs should be excluded.
  • Use of the Decompression Catheter is not appropriate for treating patients who present pain that is suspected to originate from origins other than herniated discs, or when free fragments or severe spinal stenosis are present. In addition, patients presenting with severely degenerative or disrupted discs should be excluded.

MultiGen™ Radiofrequency Generator Overview (3:44)
Part Number: 1000-001-146 Rev None

Stryker MultiGen is a universal device used for minimally invasive pain treatment. Pain relief is achieved by the controlled heating of the area surrounded by the electrode tip. MultiGen provides a controlled thermal or pulsed lesion with a user-friendly touch screen. Buttons at the right of the screen allow the operator to change the phase of the procedure from sensory and motor testing to lesion modes. Screen color correlates to phase button color. MultiGen manages up to four lesions simultaneously and with independent control of time and temperature for each needle placement, enables the user to perform two parallel bipolar procedures concurrently, accommodates thermal and pulsed radiofrequency at the same time and uses a patented DualWave waveform technology to deliver controlled lesions. Unique safety procedures include a double-start mechanism to help prevent inadvertent starts, automatic temperature control for each cannula, along with dual temperature measurements and control for bipolar procedures. In addition, the MultiGen console comes with several notable storage advantages. Multiple customized physician settings streamline procedure preparation and users may save procedure specific information for later use. Anatomical information can be stored for each needle placement and various types of procedure information may be captured for immediate reference or printed for a review. The unique hand controller allows the physician direct control of the procedure while the large MultiGen screen and mobile hand controller enable the physician to operate the device from a distance. This provides convenience for the operating physician and means that staff members can focus their attention more closely on the patient and physician. And, with a sterile bag, the hand controller can be used easily in a sterile field. Stryker Monopolar Nitinol Electrodes are constructed from a nickel titanium alloy that sets the standard for durability and flexibility. Stryker’s self-grounding series Cannulae & Electrodes eliminate the need for a ground pad. The self-grounding series includes coaxial bipolar cannulae with localized energy control. And color-coded electrodes are available in a variety of lengths. The unique MultiGen cable supports both multi-lesion and parallel bipolar procedures, which reduce the overall time of SI joint procedures by creating larger lesions. For intradiscal lesioning, MultiGen provides pre-programmed time and temperature step profiles as well as on-the-fly adjustments. In addition, MultiGen conveniently connects to both AcuTherm and SpineCath catheters.
