Radio Frequency Adaptive Ablation Technology - RFAAT™

Overview. A uniquely configurable and versatile Radio Frequency ablation system for creating linear lesions of any length or depth. This technology can be used for treatment of cancerous tumors, cardiac arrhythmia, pain management (such as for bone metastases), scientific research and tissue characterization studies. Due to its configurable architecture and flexible programming interface, the application possibilities are virtually unlimited.

 

Adaptive Ablation Technolology: Sample Configurable Interface
  • Powerful reconfigurable embedded architecture engine with FPGA technology
  • Large 15-inch touch-screen user interface
  • Dynamically programmable for different types of ablation such as cardiac or tumor

Technology Highlights

  • Highly modular design and easy to program
  • Mono or b-polar modes of operation
  • Programmable, target temperature, power, frequency, impedance, and ablation timing
  • Modules can be cascaded for higher number of electrodes or paralleled for higher output power
  • Accepts catheters with up to 32 electrodes with the Multi-Cath™ module
  • Accepts any type temperature sensor such as thermocouple, RTD, thermistor with a very high degree of accuracy
  • Real-time parameter data display as well as electrophysiological signals
  • Choice of feedback control mechanism such as PID, fuzzy logic or user developed mathematical algorithms
  • Extensive set of data collection utilities for post processing and analysis
  • Built-in safety features to meet the medical device safety requirement
  • Operates with commercially available RF generators (as a RF source) or with our programmable RF generator
