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 system for treating a tissue region of a patient by applying radiofrequency energy to the tissue region via a plurality of electrodes to create a series of tissue lesions at a series of different tissue levels to perform a surgical procedure, the system comprising a controller for identifying whether a first radiofrequency treatment device or a second different radiofrequency treatment device is attached to the controller, and an operation system providing a first visual indication of which treatment device is identified by the controller and at a single time simultaneously displaying on a single screen a visual record of progress during the surgical procedure for all tissue levels by providing a second visual indication of completion of tissue lesion creation at each different tissue level and a number of lesions formed within each different tissue level and number of lesions to be formed at each different tissue level.
