US Patent Issued to Boston Scientific Scimed on Aug. 19 for "System and method for controlling power based on impedance detection, such as controlling power to tissue treatment devices" (California Inventor)

ALEXANDRIA, Va., Aug. 20 -- United States Patent no. 12,390,263, issued on Aug. 19, was assigned to Boston Scientific Scimed Inc. (Maple Grove, Minn.).

"System and method for controlling power based on impedance detection, such as controlling power to tissue treatment devices" was invented by Jerry Jarrard (San Jose, Calif.).

According to the abstract* released by the U.S. Patent & Trademark Office: "A system and method of controlling the application of energy to tissue using measurements of impedance are described. The impedance, correlated to the temperature, may be set at a desired level, such as a percentage of initial impedance. The set impedance may be a function of the initial impedance, the size and spacing of the electrodes, the ...
