Abstract

A method and device handle having a slide assembly for controlling rotational speed of a catheter assembly under various rotational loads. The method includes setting a first current limit in a processor, activating the catheter assembly to rotate, calculating a current value in rotational period of a first current limit, updating a second current limit from the first current limit, and wherein the second current limit is lower than the first current limit.
