System Description
The System Cart supports medical equipment used in procedures for the treatment of
arrhythmias in cardiothoracic theatres and hospital electrophysiological laboratories.
The complete system is comprised of five sub-systems:
1. AtriCure
Ablation Sensing Unit (ASU) produces and delivers RF energy, in a bipolar
®
mode, at a frequency of approximately 460 kHz, with a maximum output power ranging
from 12 Watts up to 30 Watts depending on the operating mode.
2. AtriCure
Switch Matrix (ASB) is a reusable accessory interface module that allows
®
simultaneous connection of AtriCure
pen devices to the ASU RF generator.
3. AtriCure
®
cryoICE BOX (ACM) is an electro-mechanical and pneumatic cryogenic
surgical system that delivers a cryogenic energy source, namely Nitrous Oxide, to create
lines of ablation through cardiac tissue.
4. AtriCure
®
ORLab is a programmable diagnostic cardiac stimulator with
electrocardiogram display tailored for use as a diagnostic tool during surgical and RF
ablation procedures.
a. NOTE: Lexmark MS310D printer is used in conjunction with the ORLab to
produce paper copies of diagnostic read outs.
b. NOTE: The handpiece and pen devices are separate components and are not a
part of the AtriCure
5. AtriCure
®
System Cart is a 450 mm wide cart with an onboard Isolation Transformer.
