Abstract

See full text

The disclosure describes a system that may be used to deliver a plurality of therapies using one portable device. The system includes a fluid pump that pumps fluid from a container to a therapy device to treat a patient. The fluid pump resides within a pump bay of the therapy delivery device. The fluid may be used to increase cool a tissue of the patient or clear debris. In one embodiment, generated signals may be delivered by a peripheral accessory connected to the generator through the connector board, and the generator may generate radio frequency (RF) energy for the purpose of prostate tissue ablation, where the effective ablation area of an electrode is increased by the fluid. In addition, the therapy delivery device may include a touch screen user interface, a visual operation indicator, a signal generator, and a removable connector board.
