Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present application relates to the field of neurosurgery medical equipment, and in particular to a high-voltage radiofrequency perfusion device for water-cooled radiofrequency electrodes. Background Art
[0002] With the continuous advancement of medical technology, radiofrequency ablation (RFA) is gaining increasing popularity. The core device in RF ablation is a RF temperature-controlled coagulator, typically consisting of a RF host, RF electrode needles, cables, and a neutral electrode. RF current is generated between the electrodes and used to ablate and coagulate tissues and organs (such as the heart, liver, prostate, gynecological, and ENT). To achieve optimal therapeutic effects, water-cooled RF ablation is currently the most commonly used method.
[0003] Water-cooled radiofrequency ablation actively cools the electrode needle through a continuous flow of water at ambient temperature, preventing overheating of the tissue surrounding the electrode and allowing the RF current to continue, thereby heating more tissue and causing a wider range of thermal damage. The continuous flow of cooling water requires the use of an additional perfusion device with a single or multiple peristaltic pump heads. This device continuously delivers cooling water to the built-in tube in the electrode needle through a cooling water circulation tube to cool the electrode needle and tissue, reducing the surface temperature of the electrode needle tip and surrounding tissue, slowing tissue deterioration, and allowing the RF energy to be more evenly distributed across the target area, resulting in a larger lesion.
[0004] However, since the perfusion device and the radiofrequency host are used and operated separately, the synchronization of the two devices must be ensured during the treatment process, which makes the operation of the water-cooled radiofrequency ablation device relatively cumbersome and places high demands on the operator's proficiency.

[0033] The following is combined with Figure 1-2 This application is described in further detail.
[0034] The embodiment of the present application provides a high-voltage radio frequency perfusion device for water-cooled radio frequency electrodes, referring to Figure 1 and Figure 2 The device consists of a housing 2, a peristaltic pump head 3, a cooling water circulation tube, and a main control board 1. Specifically, one or more peristaltic pump heads 3 can be provided and fixed to the housing 2. The cooling water circulation tube is connected to the peristaltic pump head 3 to ensure the flow of cooling water. The RF electrode needles can be connected to the cooling water circulation tube to cool the electrodes. A cooling water hanger 4 is also provided on the housing 2, providing a convenient hanging point for the cooling water container, facilitating operation and use.
[0035] The main control board 1 is arranged inside the casing 2, and the main control board 1 has a peristaltic pump control circuit 11 and a conversion control circuit 12. The input end of the conversion control circuit 12 is communicatively connected to the RF host 5 to realize the transmission of the control signal from the RF host 5 to the conversion control circuit 12; the output end of the conversion control circuit 12 is electrically connected to the input end of the peristaltic pump control circuit 11 to realize the transmission of the control signal, and then realize the transmission of the control signal from the RF host 5 to the peristaltic pump control circuit 11, thereby achieving the advantage of simplifying the operation process.
[0036] Specifically, refer to Figure 2 The conversion control circuit 12 includes a USB connector 121, a USB adapter chip 122, and a digital isolator 123. The USB connector 121 serves as an input terminal and can be connected to the RF host 5 via a USB data cable (such as a Type-C connector or a Micro USB connector 121).
[0037] The USB adapter chip 122 is connected to the output of the USB connector 121. The USB adapter chip 122 is a USB-to-serial port chip. The USB-to-serial port chip used in this application has a wide range of compatibility advantages. Common USB-to-serial port chips include CH340 and FT232RL, which can effectively convert USB signals into RS232 serial port signals. For example, choosing CH340 as an alternative to the USB-to-serial port chip has lower cost and higher reliability. Choosing FT232RL as the USB-to-serial port chip has higher transmission speed and stronger stability.
[0038] The digital isolator 123 is arranged between the USB adapter chip 122 and the peristaltic pump control circuit 11, and the USB adapter chip 122 is connected to the peristaltic pump control circuit 11 through the digital isolator 123. The digital isolator 123 used in this application can effectively prevent signal interference. Commonly used digital isolators 123 include TI's iso7818, Maxim's MAX22556, and ADI's ADUM1402. These isolators all have high reliability. For example, TI's iso7818 has a higher operating voltage range and lower delay time, which is suitable for application scenarios that require high reliability. Maxim's MAX22556 has higher current isolation capability and is suitable for occasions that require larger current isolation, while ADUM1402 has lower power consumption and supports multi-channel configuration and data rate, providing wider compatibility.
[0039] The setting of the digital isolator 123 can effectively prevent signal interference, ensure stable signal transmission between the RF host 5 and the perfusion device, and ensure the correct transmission of the control signal, thereby improving the overall stability of the device.
[0040] Therefore, USB connector 121 efficiently connects main control board 1 and RF host 5, USB adapter chip 122 performs signal conversion, and digital isolator 123 isolates signals and reduces interference. This overall design enables direct remote control of the perfusion device by the RF host 5, simplifying the operation process, improving work efficiency, and reducing operational difficulty. It also enables effective communication between the RF host 5 and the perfusion device, ensuring the stability of the control signal.
[0041] In order to realize the control of the perfusion device by the radio frequency host 5, the radio frequency host 5 is required to have functions such as peristaltic pump speed or flow rate regulation and to be able to output control signals.
[0042] Furthermore, the main control board 1 is provided with a cooling control circuit 13. The output end of the cooling control circuit 13 is electrically connected to an output connector, which is provided on the housing 2. The output connector is connected to an external cooling device 6 via a plug-in connection. The external cooling device can be a semiconductor cooling device and is controlled by the cooling control circuit 13. The cooling control circuit 13 can also be equipped with a thermostat function to achieve precise temperature control.
[0043] The cooling water circulation pipe is connected to the cooling device 6 to cool the cooling water. Furthermore, the cooling device 6 has a refrigeration unit, which is preferably cylindrical in shape. The cooling water circulation pipe is wound around the refrigeration unit and fits the refrigeration unit to provide a larger contact area to ensure sufficient cooling.
[0044] The main control board 1 also includes a hydraulic pressure detection circuit 14, which includes but is not limited to components such as a voltage amplifier and a filter. The voltage amplifier can be an operational amplifier (such as the LM358), while the filter can be a second-order filter. The output of the hydraulic pressure detection circuit 14 is equipped with a signal connector, which is externally connected to a hydraulic pressure sensor 7. A pressure detection tube is connected to the cooling water circulation pipe, and the hydraulic pressure sensor 7 is located within the pressure detection tube to detect the cooling water pressure. The hydraulic pressure sensor 7 enables real-time monitoring of the cooling water pressure. Furthermore, real-time monitoring of the cooling water pressure by the hydraulic pressure sensor 7 effectively prevents equipment failures caused by hydraulic anomalies, thereby improving equipment safety and reliability.
[0045] The above are all preferred embodiments of the present application, and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of the present application. Therefore, any equivalent changes made based on the structure, shape, and principle of the present application should be included in the scope of protection of the present application.
