  • Publication number: 20210128256
    Abstract: Transducer-based systems can be configured to display a graphical representation of a transducer-based device, the graphical representation including graphical elements corresponding to transducers of the transducer-based device, and also including between graphical elements respectively associated with a set of the transducers and respectively associated with a region of space between the transducers of the transducer-based device. Selection of graphical elements and/or between graphical elements can cause activation of the set of transducers associated with the selected elements. Selection of a plurality of graphical elements and/or between graphical elements can cause visual display of a corresponding activation path in the graphical representation. Visual characteristics of graphical elements and between graphical elements can change based on an activation-status of the corresponding transducers.

  • Patent number: 10799281
    Abstract: A medical device system may be configured to detect an improper energy transmission configuration therein. The condition may be detected by way of a detection of a condition where an energy-transmitting electrode of the medical device system becomes too close to or becomes in contact with an object resulting in an inability of the electrode to properly transmit energy. For example, if the energy-transmitting electrode is a first electrode configured in its operational state to transmit energy to bodily tissue adjacent the first electrode, but the first electrode is inadvertently contacting a second electrode, such contact may cause at least some energy transmitted by the first electrode to follow an unintended path away from its intended path to the adjacent tissue. Such a condition may be detected based at least upon an analysis of information acquired from a sensing device system.

  • Publication number: 20190262070
    Abstract: Intra-cardiac voltage data display systems display a plurality of data sets derived at least from intra-cardiac voltage data sampled by an electrode. In some embodiments, at least some of the data sets are derived from a portion of the intra-cardiac voltage data that excludes an excludable portion of the intra-cardiac voltage data having a relationship with an occurrence of a particular cardiac event to facilitate identification of the existence of a transmural lesion in tissue adjacent the electrode. In some embodiments, the particular cardiac event is the occurrence of an R wave in the cardiac cycle, and the excludable portion is a V wave in the cardiac cycle.
