Overview of the Prostiva Therapy System
Warning: The Prostiva RF therapy introduces needle
perforations into organs or structures within the therapeutic
prostate region which may result in fistulas within those
organs or surrounding structures and could lead to serious
health events for the patient.
The Medtronic Prostiva RF Model 8930 Radio Frequency
Generator (Figure 1-1) provides radio frequency energy through
two, 15-watt output channels.
Figure 1-1. Model 8930 Radio Frequency Generator
The radio frequency generator system has three basic electronic
functions:
Radio frequency energy generation – The radio frequency
generator supplies the required power output (0 to 15 watts) to the
attached treatment device (eg, hand piece).
Power output control – The generator software, by means of a
closed-loop control circuit, continuously processes both
temperature (°C) and impedance (Ohms) inputs to regulate the
radio frequency power (watts) output of the generator. Power
output is monitored throughout the procedure and is
communicated via the RF generator display screen.
