  • Publication number: 20230130437
    Abstract: A system for controlling operation of a radiofrequency treatment device to apply radiofrequency energy to tissue to heat tissue to create lesions without ablating the tissue. The system includes a first treatment device having at least one electrode for applying radiofrequency energy to tissue, a controller including a connector to which a first treatment device is coupled for use, and a generator for applying radiofrequency energy to the electrodes. The controller controls application of energy so that the tissue is thermally treated to create lesions but preventing thermal treatment beyond a threshold which would ablate the tissue.

  • Publication number: 20200352801
    Abstract: A portable ambulance for use at a multi-casualty incident site including a siren for crowd parting, at least one flashing light mounted to a portable medical equipment carrying case, and a camera supported by the carrying case. The carrying case is removable from a vertical position on the wearer and placed in a horizontal position wherein one or more panels is openable to display the medical supplies contained within the case. The camera and at least one flashing light are supported on an extendable pole movable from a retracted position to an extended position. Microcontrollers in the case control the camera and flashing light.

  • Patent number: 10639090
    Abstract: A system for controlling a treatment device generates a graphical interface that visually prompts a user in a step-wise fashion to use the treatment device to perform a process of forming a pattern of lesions that extends both circumferentially and axially in different levels in a body region. The graphical interface displays for the user a visual record of the progress of the process from start to finish and guides the user so that so that individual lesions desired within a given level are all formed, and that a given level of lesions is not skipped.
