  • Publication number: 20250387160
    Abstract: A computing device for generating and using a graphical user interface (GUI) is disclosed. The computing device includes one or more controllers configured to generate a graphical representation of a plurality of electrodes of an ablation catheter for displaying via the GUI; designate, via the GUI, at least some of the plurality of electrodes to be active electrodes; automatically designate the active electrodes as a source electrode or a sink electrode; assign an amount of energy to each of the designated source electrodes; and estimate an amount of energy associated with each of the designated sink electrodes based at least in part on the assigned energy of the designated source electrodes.

  • Patent number: 12343071
    Abstract: At least some embodiments of the present disclosure are directed to an electroporation ablation system for treating targeted tissue in a patient. The electroporation ablation system comprises an ablation catheter including catheter electrodes configured to generate electric fields in the targeted tissue in response to a plurality of electrical pulse sequences delivered in a plurality of therapy sections; a controller configured to receive a first pulse voltage of a first electrical pulse sequence measured during a first therapy section of the plurality of therapy sections; and determine a charge voltage based on the first pulse voltage; and an electroporation generator. The electroporation generator is operatively coupled to the catheter electrodes and the controller and configured to deliver a second electrical pulse sequence at a controlled pulse voltage for a second therapy section of the plurality of therapy sections.

  • Patent number: 6785573
    Abstract: A low pass filter especially adapted for use with ECG equipment designed to negate any noise energy that may be superimposed upon the ECG signal itself. A plurality of low-pass FIR filter stages are connected in tandem between a signal input point and a signal output point where each of the stages has a distinct cut-off frequency characteristic. Means are provided for selectively turning ones of the plurality of stages on or off.
