Wireless Catheter System for Cardiac Electrophysiology Study

摘要

A Wireless Catheter Module (WCM) is adapted for attachment to a diagnostic catheter to enable the bio-electrical signals, analog signals picked up by the probing electrodes imbedded in the attached catheter, to be captured and digitized by A-to-D converter electronics in the WCM whereupon packets of the digitized signals can then be transmitted wirelessly from the WCM to a remote Wireless Base Station (WBS) forming a receiver component of the present system. The WBS is adapted for operative connected to an EP recording and cardiac stimulation system. In cases where multiple catheters are to be used in a study, each catheter may be fitted with an appropriately configured WCM and the catheter modules can communicate simultaneously with the WBS.
