Questions

AI-generated answers, 1 Oct 2026

Written by a language model from registry data. Not verified by deviCERTS or the manufacturer. The registry data above is the record.

  • What is the VAPR Radiofrequency Electrode System used for?

    The VAPR Radiofrequency Electrode System is designed specifically for arthroscopic surgeries, where it delivers controlled radiofrequency energy to perform soft tissue ablation, contouring, cutting, and hemostasis. This makes it ideal for minimally invasive joint procedures where precision and reduced trauma are critical.

  • How is the VAPR system supplied, and what models are available?

    The VAPR system is supplied as a reusable unit, paired with disposable electrode probes. Available models include the VAPR S90, VAPR LD, VAPR LP, VAPR Premiere50, VAPR 90 Degree, VAPR S50, and VAPR Premiere90, each tailored for specific surgical applications.

  • Is the VAPR system single-use or reusable?

    The VAPR system itself is reusable, but it requires the use of disposable electrode probes for each procedure. This design ensures sterility and reduces cross-contamination risks in sterile operating room environments.

  • Where and how should the VAPR system be stored?

    The VAPR system must be stored in accordance with the manufacturer’s guidelines to maintain functionality and safety. Since it is intended for sterile environments, storage should be in a clean, dry location away from direct sunlight or extreme temperatures. Disposable probes should be stored in their original packaging until use.

  • What regulatory clearance does the VAPR system hold?

    The VAPR Radiofrequency Electrode System holds FDA 510(k) clearance under the classification of general plastic surgery devices, with a clearance number of K974022. This clearance confirms its substantial equivalence to a predicate device and compliance with U.S. regulatory standards.
