Control of ivl systems, devices and methods thereof

An intravascular lithotripsy (IVL) system comprising:

• a catheter assembly including an elongate member defining a lumen and an inflatable balloon disposed on a longitudinal end of the elongate member;
• at least one set of electrodes arranged within the inflatable balloon for submersion within an IVL fluid medium;
• a pulse generation system configured to apply electrical energy having electrical settings to the at least one set of electrodes;
• and
• an IVL therapy control system in communication with the pulse generation system and configured to provide control signals thereto;
• wherein the IVL therapy control system is configured to apply electrical energy to the at least one set of electrodes using an intermittent pulse width modulation signal input to the pulse generation system for pulse delivery at the electrodes.

• a pulse generation system configured to apply electrical energy to the at least one set of electrodes;
• and
• an IVL therapy control system comprising a processor and a memory storing instructions that, when executed by the processor, cause the processor to:
• generate an intermittent pulse-width-modulation signal;
• and
• input the intermittent pulse width modulation signal into the pulse generation system for pulse delivery at the electrodes.
