Irrigated radiofrequency ablation
Cardioblate™ 68000 surgical ablation system generator
<p>The Cardioblate™ 68000 is a portable, lightweight power generator for the Cardioblate™ surgical ablation devices.</p>
Features
The Cardioblate™ 68000 generator has an advanced dose-response algorithm that ensures transmural lesions that consistently result in conduction block.
Real-time feedback, real-time power
- Dose-response algorithm customizes energy delivery based on tissue impedance to achieve reliable, reproducible transmurality1
- Audible tones and touch screen messages notify user of ablation status, transmurality, and other critical information
- Touch screen operation for adjusting ablation parameters
- Color LCD screen folds into case for storage and flips open on hinge for different viewing angles
- Troubleshooting steps available via touch screen messages
The Cardioblate™ 68000 generator is designed for use with the following Medtronic ablation devices:
- Cardioblate™ surgical ablation pen
- Cardioblate™ XL surgical ablation pen
- Cardioblate™ BP2 surgical ablation device
- Cardioblate™ LP surgical ablation device
- Cardioblate™ Gemini™-s surgical ablation device
Potential adverse events with this device are similar to other cardiac surgery procedures. Examples include, but are not limited to: bleeding; extension of extracorporeal bypass; and heart rhythm disturbances (atrial and/or ventricular); other cardiac disturbances dependent upon concomitant procedures performed.
