Model 1500X RF Generator

Now with smart card technology that facilitates upgrades without additional capital investments, the Model 1500X radiofrequency (RF) generator ensures predictable, controllable ablations, time after time. The 1500X has three flexible serial ports and delivers 250 watts of power. It has multiple temperature displays and an intuitive panel design for the utmost simplicity. To ensure predictable, controllable ablations, the 1500X also provides automatic temperature control. This RF generator is compatible with the latest StarBurst® and Habib® electrosurgical devices for ablations and soft tissue coagulation ranging from 1-7 cm. The fully-automated generator recognizes which device is plugged in and will automatically load the proper protocol.

Software

The software allows users to visually monitor tissue temperatures in real time during the ablation process. The software enables the user to watch as tissue temperatures rise to the desired level and are maintained via the generator's automatic power adjustment feature. Power, efficiency, and post-ablation cool-down temperatures are also displayed, giving the physician complete visual graphic confirmation that target temperatures have been reached and maintained. Patient information can also be input, simplifying data recording and providing a digital record of the procedure that can be retrieved later.

Features:
  • Complete Data recording of entire procedure: power impedance, thermocouple temperatures, procedure time, patient information, comments and coll down temperatures
  • Patient history and procedure details in retrievable, digital format
  • Excellent documentation for patient chart
  • Cool down test charted for a more predictable, controllable ablation
     

IntelliFlow Pump

The IntelliFlow peristaltic infusion pump is used in conjunction with the 1500X radiofrequency generator for the coagulation and ablation of soft tissue. The IntelliFlow offers the ultimate in ease of use, while delivering a precise amount of infused saline. The pump is specifically designed to be used with current and future AngioDynamics electrosurgical devices.

Features:
  • Peristaltic pump eliminates the need for syringes
  • Automates communication with 1500X generator
  • Integrated IV pole
  • No battery to recharge
  • No pre-settings requirement
  • Easy loading and securing of tubing
  • Storage drawer for accessories
  • Tubing set attached to StarBurst family of infusion devices
  • Occlusion bed provides ease of tubing installation
     

Thermo Pads

New temperature monitoring thermo pads help the physician monitor the temperature of the return pad site during the ablation process. AngioDynamics’ pads feature continuous temperature monitoring at the pad adhesion site through the incorporation of a thermocouple device located at the pad leading edge. The pads are designed to meet the needs of clinicians using AngioDynamics’ latest generation of high-power, infusion based radiofrequency electrodes. The thermocouple returns data automatically to the 1500X RF generator, monitoring pad temperature throughout the procedure, and shutting off power when unsafe pad temperatures are detected. Thermo pads will work with any existing 1500X System.

Soft and Hard Tissue Introducers

Both the StarBurst Soft Tissue and Hard Tissue Access Systems make it possible to locate the target area prior to using a StarBurst RFA device. These sterile, single-patient introducers allow for precise placement of the AngioDynamics disposable electrosurgical device. The tip of the introducer is detectable with ultrasound, CT and fluoroscopy.
