Abstract
A system for ablating tissue includes a reusable control unit including a processor monitoring and controlling ablation and a control interface receiving input to and output from the processor in combination with a disposable procedure set releasably connectable to the control unit to couple to the control interface for communication with the processor.
Claims25
A system for ablating tissue, comprising:
- a reusable control unit including a processor monitoring and controlling ablation and a control interface receiving input to and output from the processor;
- a disposable procedure set releasably connectable to the control unit to couple to the control interface for communication with the processor;
- and
- a procedure controller adapted to monitor signals of sensors provided in the system to recognize absorption of fluid by the patient.
1 more element
A control system for a hydro-thermal ablation procedure, comprising:
- a reusable console including a processor monitoring and controlling the hydro-thermal ablation procedure, wherein the processor is configured to recognize absorption of a fluid by the patient;
- a disposable cartridge selectively coupleable to the console, the cartridge including a plurality of sensors connectable to the processor, the sensors measuring properties of an ablation fluid;
- a mechanical safety interlock of the processor inhibiting the hydro-thermal ablation procedure when commanded by the processor;
- and
- an ablation fluid control system including a pump and a heater controlled by the processor.
