New temperature monitoring Thermo Pads help the physician monitor the return pad site during the ablation process. The new pads feature continuous temperature monitoring at the pad adhesion site through the incorporation of a thermocouple device located at the pad leading edge.

The new Thermo Pads are designed to meet the needs of clinicians using RITA’s latest generation of high-power, infusion based radiofrequency electrodes. The thermocouple returns data automatically to the 1500X RF generator, monitoring pad temperature throughout the procedure, and shutting off power when unsafe pad temperatures are detected.

Thermo Pads will work with any existing 1500X System.
