摘要:
Control systems and methods for delivery of energy that may include control algorithms that prevent energy delivery if a fault is detected and may provide energy delivery to produce a substantially constant temperature at a delivery site. In some embodiments, the control systems and methods may be used to control the delivery of energy, such as radiofrequency energy, to body tissue, such as lung tissue.
摘要:
An apparatus, system and method to automate an interactive quality control inspection process. The apparatus may query a user for a response to an audit question integral to a quality control inspection process, such as, for example, a regulatory compliance question or a standard operating procedures question. The apparatus may determine, based on the response, compliance with predetermined quality control criteria. To maximize data security and privacy, the response and/or the predetermined quality control criteria may be stored in a storage device under the exclusive control of the user, and access to such information may be restricted to authorized users according to access rights. Further, the apparatus may facilitate quality and safety assurance by conditioning continuation of the quality control inspection process on completion of a corrective action where the response fails to comply with the predetermined quality control criteria.
