Systems and methods for controlling use and operation of a family of different treatment devices

摘要

A system for controlling a treatment device generates a graphical interface that visually prompts a user in a step-wise fashion to use the treatment device to perform a process of forming a pattern of lesions that extends both circumferentially and axially in different levels in a body region. The graphical interface displays for the user a visual record of the progress of the process from start to finish and guides the user so that so that individual lesions desired within a given level are all formed, and that a given level of lesions is not skipped.

主权项

1. A graphical user interface comprising:
a controller configured to visually prompt a user in a step-wise fashion to perform a process of forming a pattern of lesions in a body region, the body region having a plurality of axially spaced lesion levels, and further configured to register a formation of lesions as the lesions are generated in real time within each axially spaced lesion level of the plurality of axially spaced lesion levels, whereby the controller is adapted to display for the user a visual record of progress of the process from a start to a finish and is adapted to guide the user so that individual lesions desired within a given axially spaced lesion level of the plurality of axially spaced lesion levels are all formed, and that an axially spaced lesion level is not skipped, the controller further configured to indicate a number of lesions remaining to be formed at the given axially spaced lesion level while at the same time indicating a number of lesions formed and a number of lesions not formed at a previous axially spaced lesion level of the plurality of axially spaced lesion levels; and wherein the first graphical interface is configured to display simultaneously a plurality of spatial models each spatial model corresponding to a different axially spaced lesion level, and the controller is configured to register the formation of lesions utilizing a plurality of markers marked within one of the plurality of spatial models corresponding to one of the plurality of axially spaced lesion levels, each marker corresponding to a section of the spatial model which corresponds to one of a plurality of circumferentially spaced tissue regions within the axially spaced lesion level.
