Liquid ejection control device, liquid ejection system, and control method
In a liquid ejection control device, an ejection tube section type acquisition unit discriminates an ejection tube section type of an ejection tube section mounted in a main body section, and acquires a fitted correspondence relationship fitting the discriminated ejection tube section type. A voltage amplitude setting unit sets a voltage amplitude of a drive voltage waveform so as to cause kinetic energy to meet an energy instruction value input by using an energy dial based on a rising index value related to rising of the drive voltage waveform and a repetitive frequency instruction value input by using a repetitive frequency dial with reference to the fitted correspondence relationship.
Fluid injection device
A fluid injection device includes a fluid supply unit that accommodates and supplies fluid, a fluid injection unit that injects fluid supplied from the fluid supply unit, and a driving waveform generating device which is equipped with at least one adjusting device, a one-input multiple-control parameter changing unit that simultaneously changes plural control parameters for determining a fluid injection condition of the fluid injection unit on the basis of a signal from the at least one adjusting device, and a driving waveform generator that generates and outputs a driving waveform of the fluid injection unit on the basis of the control parameters set by the one-input multiple-control parameter changing unit.

ELECTROSURGICAL SYSTEM
An electrosurgical system for treating biological tissue that comprises: an electrosurgical generator to supply microwave energy; a surgical scoping device having a steerable insertion cord for insertion to a treatment site; and an electrosurgical instrument dimensioned to fit within an instrument channel that is located within the insertion cord. The electrosurgical instrument comprises: a flexible coaxial cable arranged to convey the microwave energy; and a radiating tip portion connected at an end of the coaxial cable and configured to receive microwave energy. The radiating tip portion comprises: a coaxial transmission line for conveying the microwave energy; and a needle tip mounted at an end of the proximal coaxial transmission line, wherein the electrosurgical instrument is slidable within the instrument channel to extend the needle tip beyond an end of the instrument channel to puncture biological tissue; the needle tip is arranged to deliver the microwave energy into biological tissue.
Flexible neutral electrode
An energy module is disclosed. The energy module includes a control circuit and a two wire interface coupled to the control circuit. The two wire interface is configured as a power source and as a communication interface between the energy module and a neutral electrode.
Ultrasound catheter system
A method of recanalizing a lumen of a vessel includes positioning an ultrasonic device having a distal end in a first position within the lumen of the vessel; transmitting pulsed ultrasonic vibrations though the ultrasonic device to the distal end; and advancing the distal end through the lumen to recanalize the vessel.
System, method and computer-accessible medium for in-vivo tissue ablation and/or damage
Systems, methods and computer-accessible mediums can be provided that can establish particular parameters for electric pulses based on a characteristic(s) of the tissue(s), and control an application of the electric pulses to tissue(s) for a plurality of automatically controlled and separated time periods to ablate the tissue(s) through mediation of membrane potential and through inducing the cells through a plurality of charge-discharge cycles such that an electroporation of a majority of the tissue(s) is prevented or reduced.
Power-controlled waveform in electrosurgical systems
Apparatus and associated methods relate to controlling electrical power of an electrotherapeutic signal that is provided to a biological tissue engaged by an electrosurgical instrument during a medical procedure. Electrical power—a product of a voltage difference across and an electrical current conducted by the engaged biological tissue—is controlled according to a therapeutic schedule. The electrotherapeutic schedule can be reduced or terminated in response to a termination criterion being met. In some examples, the termination criterion is a current characteristic, such as, for example, a decrease in current conducted by the engaged biological tissue. In some examples, the termination criterion is a biological tissue resistance characteristic, such as, for example, an increase in the biological tissue resistance that exceeds a predetermined delta resistance value.
Catheter Assembly for Blood Clots Removal
An endovascular catheter has an elongate catheter body having a distal portion, a proximal portion, multiple transition portions and a central lumen extending longitudinally through the catheter body. The catheter has a hybrid reinforcement, an angulated radiopaque marker and an angulated distal tip to improve the catheter’s ability to navigate vasculature and to improve clot aspiration.
