Lund, Sweden - Clinical Laserthermia Systems AB (publ) (CLS) today announces that it has formally applied for CE marking of its ClearPoint Prism branded Neuro Laser Therapy System, seeking regulatory approval in Europe for use with 1.5T and 3.0T magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) guidance in neurosurgical procedures.
Seeking regulatory approval in EU follows on CLS's 2024 ISO-certification in accordance with the European Medical Device Regulation (MDR), and the successful completion of the sponsored clinical study at Skåne University Hospital, which assessed safety and feasibility of MRI-guided laser interstitial thermal therapy (LITT) in patients with glioblastoma, the most aggressive and lethal form of brain cancer.
The ClearPoint Prism System - commercialized globally in partnership with ClearPoint Neuro, Inc. - combines CLS's laser ablation technology with MRI guidance and neuro-navigation to enable minimally invasive treatment of brain lesions, also those that may otherwise be hard to reach through open surgery.
Key factors behind applying for CE-marking:
"This application is a major strategic step for CLS," commented Dan J. Mogren, CEO of CLS. "Upon approval, the CE mark will allow for an expansion of our market presence outside of U.S by unlocking access also to European neurosurgery markets and bring our MRI guided neuro laser ablation technology to more patients in need of less invasive neurosurgical options."
Regulatory approval through CE-marking is expected in second half of 2026
