The RF liveGEN is a specialised high-frequency ablation generator for conducting high-frequency ablation therapies at the human heart or in the renal artery area. To carry out these RF ablation therapies, the RF liveGEN is coupled or integrated into an electrophysiological measuring station system (EPM) with specialised catheters and medical devices and components such as patient monitoring systems, electroanatomical mapping systems, cardiac stimulators, flushing pumps, etc. For this purpose, the RF liveGEN has all the necessary interfaces.

  • High-resolution 7″ color touch display
  • Modern, efficient, graphical user interface with direct access to the most essential parameters
  • Performances up to 100 W
  • Support of 2 parallel ablation catheters
  • Automatic flow adjustment (flow) according to programmable power levels
  • Compatible with common mapping and diagnostic systems
  • Can be used for high-power/short-duration ablations with outputs well above 40 W and ablation times below 20s

Innovation

The RF liveGEN offers all features to meet all current requirements for RF ablation therapy. In particular, it has the following innovative features:

  • Efficient, clear user interface with a high-speed color touch display allows safe operation without training times.
  • Extended option of storing custom setups for fast storage and loading of parameters
  • Support of bipolar ablation therapies of up to 2 catheters
  • Pace & Ablate function: Optimised for simultaneous stimulation during energy delivery
