Indications for Use
The Sonata® Sonography-Guided Transcervical Fibroid Ablation System is intended for diagnostic intrauterine imaging and transcervical treatment of symptomatic uterine fibroids, including those associated with heavy menstrual bleeding.
Device Story
Sonata System performs transcervical, uterine-sparing radiofrequency (RF) ablation of symptomatic uterine fibroids. System integrates an intrauterine ultrasound (IUUS) probe for real-time visualization and an RF ablation handpiece for thermal fixation and coagulative necrosis. Used in clinical settings by physicians. The system includes an RF generator, ultrasound console, and graphical guidance software (SMART Guide). The SMART Guide provides a real-time graphic overlay on live ultrasound images, displaying an ablation zone and thermal safety border to guide needle electrode placement. The physician uses the ultrasound to localize fibroids and confirm safety of the uterine serosa. RF energy is delivered via deployable needle electrodes with impedance and temperature feedback. The procedure is minimally invasive, avoiding incisions or uterine distension. Benefits include reduction in menstrual blood loss, symptom improvement, and avoidance of surgical reintervention.
Clinical Evidence
Evidence includes the SONATA Pivotal IDE trial (n=147, prospective, multicenter, single-arm) and the FAST-EU trial (n=50). Primary endpoints for SONATA at 12 months: 64.8% (95% CI 56.3%–72.6%) achieved ≥50% reduction in menstrual blood loss (PBAC <250); 99.3% (95% CI 95.1%–99.9%) rate of no surgical reintervention. Safety profile showed no SADE/ADE/UADE; two procedure-related SAEs reported. FAST-EU showed 68.1% mean reduction in perfused fibroid volume at 3 months.
Technological Characteristics
System comprises RF generator, ultrasound console, reusable IUUS probe, and single-use RFA handpiece. Materials include Nitinol, stainless steel, and biocompatible polymers (ISO 10993 compliant). Energy: RF ablation (unipolar). Imaging: B-mode ultrasound. Connectivity: Internal data transfer via IEEE 1394. Sterilization: Gamma (handpiece) and EO (reusable probe). Software: Graphical Guidance Software (SMART Guide) for treatment planning and real-time overlay.
Indications for Use
Indicated for premenopausal women with symptomatic uterine fibroids, including those associated with heavy menstrual bleeding, requiring diagnostic intrauterine imaging and transcervical treatment.

# Device Description:
The Sonata System provides radiofrequency (RF) ablation of uterine fibroids using a transcervical approach that is uterine sparing, without incisions or material uterine distension. The system enables a clinician to deliver radiofrequency energy to fibroid tissue resulting in thermal fixation and coagulative necrosis of the tissue. The system combines two technologies - ultrasound for visualization, and radiofrequency energy for ablative therapy - in a single integrated handpiece. The Sonata System is comprised of medical equipment (Figure 1), software, and various single-use and reusable instruments. Sonata System devices and accessories are summarized in Table 2.

#### Table 2 Sonata System Devices and Accessories
A single-use Radiofrequency Ablation (RFA) Handpiece attaches to a reusable Intrauterine Ultrasound (IUUS) Probe as shown in Figure 2 to provide sonographyguided RF ablation. Once connected, the combination is referred to as the "Treatment Device". The RFA Handpiece connects to the Sonata RF Generator and contains the Needle Electrodes that deliver radiofrequency energy to the target tissue. The IUUS Probe connects to the Ultrasound Console and provides diagnostic ultrasound imaging and guidance. Ultrasound guidance is used to localize the fibroids from within the uterine cavity, guide placement of the RFA Handpiece Needle Electrodes into a target fibroid, and ensure safety with respect to the serosa. When the Needle Electrodes are anchored within tissue, the physician is able to pivot the IUUS Probe transducer around the Needle Electrodes in order to confirm safety of the uterine serosa through multiple ultrasound planes.

Image /page/6/Picture/6 description: The image shows two medical instruments, labeled as "IUUS Probe" and "RFA Handpiece". The IUUS Probe is positioned above the RFA Handpiece in the left image, and both are being held by gloved hands. The right image shows the IUUS Probe being held by a gloved hand.
{7}------------------------------------------------
The Sonata System allows for treatment planning through the use of a graphical interface and automated control of RF energy delivery.
Sonata Graphical Guidance Software (GGS) includes the SMART Guide™ (Figure 3). GGS integrates treatment planning, targeting, and ablation of fibroids. The SMART Guide displays a real-time graphic overlay on the live ultrasound image for targeting and deployment of radiofrequency ablation.
Image /page/7/Figure/4 description: The image shows a diagram of an ablation zone with several labeled components. The ablation zone is indicated by a red inner ellipse, and the thermal safety border is indicated by a green outer ellipse. The introducer guide is a blue dashed line, the introducer tip marker is a yellow diamond, and the needle electrode origin is a yellow star. The needle electrode tip markers are three yellow lines.
# Figure 3 Sonata System SMART Guide
Two main elements of the SMART Guide are the Ablation Zone and the Thermal Safety Border.
- . Ablation Zone (red inner ellipse) – a two-dimensional representation of the outer boundary of the average region of tissue ablation for the selected ablation size.
- . Thermal Safety Border (green outer ellipse) - the distance at which tissue outside of the Ablation Zone should not suffer thermal damage.
{8}------------------------------------------------
Comparison to Predicate Devices
The Sonata System combines radiofrequency ablation with intrauterine sonography. Because the Sonata System combines two functions into a single device, one predicate is used for the RF ablation function and two secondary predicates are used for the ultrasound visualization function.
Table 3 contains the discussion of similarities and differences between the subject device system and the predicate devices. The comparison is organized by subsections covering intended use / indications for use, system function and features, components and materials, technical characteristics related to RF ablation, technical characteristics related to ultrasound, safety and performance testing, treatment planning and usability, and clinical testing.
