Questions
What clinical specialties is the Flexi-Therm Film primarily intended for adjunctive use in, and how does it function during procedures?
The Flexi-Therm Film is designed for adjunctive use in obstetrics and gynecology, where it aids in visual temperature mapping using liquid crystal technology. It provides real-time thermal imaging to help clinicians assess thermal patterns during procedures, offering additional monitoring beyond standard methods.
Is the Flexi-Therm Film sterile, and how should it be handled to maintain its integrity?
The Flexi-Therm Film is non-sterile and supplied as a single-use component. Since it is not sterile, it should be handled according to standard non-sterile medical device protocols as outlined in the manufacturer’s instructions to prevent contamination before use.
What regulatory pathway was followed for FDA clearance, and what classification does this device hold?
The Flexi-Term Film was cleared through the traditional 510(k) pathway (K770986) and is classified as a Class 3 device under FDA regulation number 884.2982. The submission was reviewed by the Obstetrics/Gynecology advisory committee and determined to be substantially equivalent to a predicate device.
How is the Flexi-Therm Film supplied, and are there different sizes or models available?
The Flexi-Term Film is supplied as a single-use, non-sterile component in a system designed for adjunctive thermal monitoring. While the provided data does not specify multiple sizes or models, its primary function is consistent across applications in obstetrics and gynecology, relying on liquid crystal technology for temperature visualization.
