US Patent:

20210236200, Aug 5, 2021

Filed:

Apr 19, 2021

Appl. No.:

17/234414

Inventors:

- Alpharetta GA, US
Lee Rhein - Hollywood FL, US
Tyler W. Crone - Atlanta GA, US
Jennifer J. Barrett - Alpharetta GA, US

International Classification:

A61B 18/14
A61B 18/12

Abstract:

An ablation system for treating tissue in a patient's body includes an energy source, one or more probes connected to the energy source, and a controller communicatively coupled to one or more probes. Each of the probes includes an elongate member having a distal region with an electrically non-conductive outer circumferential portion and a proximal region. The probes further include an electrically conductive energy delivery device extending distally from the electrically non-conductive outer circumferential portion. The controller includes one or more processors and one or more memory devices. The one or more memory devices are configured to store computer-readable instructions that when executed by the one or more processors cause the one or more processors to perform operations that include detecting a number of probes connected to the energy source and allocating a portion of the predetermined power supply to each of the probes.

The controller includes one or more processors and one or more memory devices. The one or more memory devices are configured to store computer-readable instructions that when executed by the one or more processors cause the one or more processors to perform operations. More specifically, the operations include detecting a number of probes connected to the energy source and allocating a portion of the predetermined power supply to each of the probes based on the number of probes detected.
