The MW ablation generator runs at the frequency of 915 MHz. As we’ve covered before, microwave energy for ablation can be run at 915 and 2450 MHz. The maximum power capacity for these generators is 60W. However, the antennas plug limit the power output to 45W. Power is to push the microwave field down the cable into the antenna. The time can be set at 1minute increments – up to 10 minutes. The power can be set at 5 watt increments up to 45 W when an antenna is plugged in. This system has been optimized for all ablations to be run at 45W for 10 minutes. The elapsed time starts at the time set and counts up to the selected set time. An audible tone can be heard during activation. This system has a one year warranty from date of shipment.
