Abstract
The control for an ablation catheter provides increased ablation catheter operation feedback and increased options for programmable control of the ablation catheter for clinicians. The control for an ablation catheter has a microcontroller containing memory, an input and output coupled to the microcontroller, a movement program, a comparison program, and an annunciating program. The movement program processes position information from the input to calculate ablation catheter movement. The comparison program compares ablation catheter movement to a predetermined control data.
