<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a treatment device, system, and method for removing heat from subcutaneous lipid-rich tissue. <P>SOLUTION: A system and method of monitoring, controlling and/or detecting events during the removal of heat from subcutaneous lipid-rich tissue is described. In some examples, the system detects an increase in temperature at a treatment device in contact with the skin of a subject, determines that the increase in temperature is related to a treatment event, and performs an action based on the determination. In some examples, the system shuts off the treatment device, alerts an operator, or reduces the cooling in response to a determined treatment event. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2013,JPO&INPIT |
