Salient Characteristics Microwave Ablation System

The microwave ablation system with single microwave source with three (3) 140W microwave power amplifiers operating at 2.45 GHz, a CO2 based cooling system and Power Distribution

Module (PDM)

Microwave energy is applied to the target tissue, heating the tissue to the point of necrosis.

Touch screen interface controls for use of the system in Ablation or Surgical mode and a USB port foot switch

The system display is mounted on a moveable arm that allows the display to be easily positioned and repositioned as needed.

Microwave energy is delivered through three distinct channels.

A single system is capable of powering up to three energy delivery accessories at one time.

The CO2 cooling system helps limit the temperature of the handle and cable.

The microwave ablation cart holds 2 CO2 cylinders.

The PDM can mount directly to the CT table and therefore can move with the CT table during imaging using a CT Rail mount option we are requesting

Ablation probes are available in 15-gauge cannulas and is available in 15 cm and

20 cm lengths.

Ablation probes are available has a 17-gauge cannula and is available in 15 cm and 20 cm lengths.

Ablation probe is available in13 gauge cannula and is available in a 25 cm length only

The system features should allow a function that lowers the temperature near the tip of the probe to temporarily adhere the probe to tissue. This type of feature will help prevent the probe from moving once it has been placed in the desired location.

The system will automatically stop delivering energy to the patient in response to system performance issues.

Ablation System components (microwave power amplifiers, PDM, probes and other accessories) are designed to be used as a single unit.

Ablation System intentionally applies RF/Microwave energy for ablation during activation

The PDM and cable assembly enable energy delivery, CO2 cooling and temperature monitoring while minimizing cable clutter and cable management issues.

The Ablation system will select which cylinder to initially use based upon tank pressures. The system will then continue using that cylinder until it is no longer at a usable pressure. The system will automatically switch to the other cylinder at that time.

The system will have a feature that allows for Report section that will track all three probes simultaneously for Power, Elapsed Time and Target value Time during the procedure.

The system must allow the user to have access of each delivery by numerical value of the Microwave power for dictation of reports.
