Version 2.2.0 

 

Procedure Date – The 

Procedure Date and Time

 are automatically set by the 

system. 

 

Physician Name – Optional 

 

Case Notes – Optional 

The 

Clinical Data

 section allows the User to type clinical information and tissue 

specifications in the appropriate fields. 

 

Clinical Indication Notes – Optional 

 

Lesion Zone (cm) – (Length, Width and Depth) – Optional, can be entered by typing 
or with the Up/Down arrows. 

 

Margin – Optional, can be entered by typing or with the Up/Down arrows. 

 

Target Zone (cm) – (Length, Width and Depth) cannot be modified by typing and is 
based on Lesion Zone value plus two times what the value is of the Margin Zone. 

The Pulse Timing Control, Figure 5-2, consists of three radio buttons that allow the User to 
select 90 PPM, 240 PPM, or ECG synchronization (default setting) to set the timing of the 
pulses. 

 

 

Figure 5-2: Pulse Timing Control 

NOTE: 90 PPM should be selected for soft tissue procedures below the waist and 240 PPM 
for prostate procedures, otherwise ECG Synchronization (default setting) should be used. A 
pop-up warning window will appear if User setting is 240 PPM, Figure 5-3.
