Medtronic Covidien Barrx Flex Energy Generator

The Medtronic Covidien Barrx Flex Energy Generator is a bipolar radiofrequency (RF) energy generator that is designed to precisely control depth and uniformity of tissue ablation in the GI tract. The Barrx Flex provides you with the flexibility to use the Barrx 360 RFA balloon catheter for larger circumferential treatment areas or one of the Barrx family of focal catheters for the treatment of smaller focal areas. This RF generator automatically recommends ablation catheter sizing, tracks, and displays the total number of ablations, and automatically adjusts default power density settings to match the catheter. Optional accessories include the Flex RFA footswitch and the Flex RFA output cable.

• Seamless transition between circumferential and spot treatment cases.
• Intuitive sizing provides improved differentiation between the esophagus and stomach.
• Rapid firing for reduced procedure time.
• Recovery in <2 second with Barrx RFA ablation catheters.
• Automatically recommends ablation catheter sizing.
• Tracks and displays total number of ablations.
• Automatically adjusts default power density settings to match catheter.
• Platform for future clinical and product innovation.
