Hi all,

The elliquence Disk-FX system is described as a "single treatment" device. I am unfamiliar with the phrase "single treatment". Does that mean single use?

The "best" answer I can give is that this is a "Single Use" instrument set that is disposed of after use, i.e. not sterilizable and usable multiple times. It "appears" to be used to treat a single level of disc disease, but there is nothing to say that it couldn't be used more than once on the same patient at the same procedure for treatment of more than one level of disc disease. Either way, it is disposed of at the end of the procedure(s)/case.

Hope this helps.

Thanks Alan. That is what I thought as well. Just looking for confirmation.
