BSD-2000

The Sigma Treatment Base Unit

  • RF power delivery subsystem.
  • Proprietary, thermistor-based, thermometry subsystems.
  • Computerized monitoring and control subsystems.
  • Applicator subsystem that includes an applicator and patient support system.
  • Various accessories, including a tissue equivalent QA lamp phantom that provides verification of the energy focus, pattern steering, and system operations.

The standard BSD-2000 comes in two configurations, a lower power basic system (BSD-2000B) that has a maximum power output of 1300 watts and an upgraded higher power system (BSD-2000U) that has a maximum power output of 1800 watts. Currently sold throughout the U.S., Europe and Asia. And in the U.S. only under FDA sanctioned device exemption.

Temperature Control

Control of power and tissue temperature to within ±0.1°C.
Data regarding temperatures, RF power level, and RF power control updated every 2 seconds.

Safety Checks

The computer automatically performs safety checks to ensure proper operation of the system and ensure safety

Independent Phase & Amplitude

Solid-state amplifier with 4-channel independent phase and amplitude adjustment capability

500 watts per Channel

Maximum power output of 0 to 500 watts per channel. Phase accuracy within a 10 degree tolerance.

Controlled Phase Offset

Computer automatically monitors and controls forward and reflected power, phase, and power on each channel.

Treatment Planning Software

Optimized treatment settings are calculated through the use of treatment planning software tools provided with the system.

High Accuracy

Non-perturbing, electromagnetically insensitive, temperature sensors with an accuracy of ±0.2°C over a range of 25 to 52°C.

Automated Positioning

Automated positioning system allows the operator to map the sensor along the length of the catheter in order to determine the temperature profile.

Precise Calibration

Precise calibration reference sensor is accurate to ±0.05°C over a range of 0 to 60°C.
