Summary of warnings, precautions and contraindications for TherMatrx Office Thermo Therapy:
- This device is contraindicated in patients with intermittent
claudication, urethral strictures, active implants, urinary sphincter
implants, or metallic implants in the prostatic treatment area, or
patients with a minimum prostatic urethra length < 30mm and a total
prostate volume < 30 or > 100cc.
- The TherMatrx System and components should only be used as intended
and indicated in the Instructions for Use. Failure to do so could result
in compromised patient safety and/or insufficient therapy.
- Failure to properly position the Treatment Catheter could result in
heating and severe injuries outside the treatment area. If catheter
placement is in question, verify placement by ultrasound imaging after
inflating the balloon. Inflation of the balloon with more than 5 cc of
sterile water may position the catheter too high in the urinary channel
which may result in heating outside of the treatment area.
- The TherMatrx procedure has inherent risks of complications, though reported adverse events have been minor and self-resolving.
For a complete list of indications, contraindications, warnings and precautions, refer to the TherMatrx Instructions for Use.
