DURING THE PROCEDURE
Using standard endoscopy techniques, the physician activates and controls the different functions of the HALO90 System.
- The ablation catheter is first mounted onto the endoscope.
- Both devices are introduced into the oesophagus.
- By manipulating the endoscope, the ablation catheter is positioned within the oesophagus at the affected portion of the oesophagus.
- The physician delivers ablative energy to the targeted tissue. The energy application is less than 1 second and is delivered in an automated manner. The design of this technology limits the energy delivery to a depth clinically shown to remove the diseased tissue (less than 1 mm) while reducing the risk of injury to the deeper tissue layers.
- For patients with more than one lesion of Barrett's oesophagus, the HALO90 Ablation Catheter is repositioned and the ablation steps are repeated.
