Cardiac localization system for mapping and analysis
The granted patent US12053258B2 describes a sophisticated localization system designed for medical applications, particularly in cardiac procedures. The system includes a catheter equipped with electrodes that can be inserted into a patient's body cavity, specifically targeting heart chambers. It also features a set of localization electrodes placed on the patient's skin to establish a coordinate system. The cardiac information console plays a crucial role by generating localization drive signals, processing received signals from the catheter electrodes, and determining their orientation within the established coordinate system. The system is designed to record biopotential information and can utilize various configurations of localization electrodes, including patch electrodes and pairs that define axes of the coordinate system.
Further enhancements to the localization system include the ability to create a three-dimensional (3D) array of catheter electrodes, which can take various forms such as basket or spiral arrays. The cardiac information console is capable of generating an electronic representation of this 3D array and allows for adjustments to the coordinate system to ensure accurate representation. Additionally, the system incorporates ultrasound transducers for imaging the surrounding tissue, enhancing its diagnostic capabilities. The console is equipped with advanced signal processing features, including high impedance signal paths for biopotential and localization signals, as well as filtering mechanisms to refine the data collected. Overall, this localization system represents a significant advancement in cardiac imaging and intervention technology, providing detailed spatial orientation and real-time data processing for improved patient outcomes.
