Irrigated radiofrequency ablation

Cardioblate™ 68000 surgical ablation system generator

The Cardioblate™ 68000 is a portable, lightweight power generator for the Cardioblate™ surgical ablation devices.

Indications, Safety, and Warnings

Description

The Cardioblate™ 68000 generator is the foundation on which the Medtronic Cardioblate™ system is built, delivering precise, irrigated radiofrequency (RF) energy to achieve transmurality and consistent conduction block.1

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.
