Timing system for use during ablation procedure

A timing system during an ablation procedure having a time to isolation includes an automated timer that receives a first time setting. The first time setting provides a maximum time that the ablationprocedure can continue without reaching the time to isolation. A catheter system including the timing system can also include a control system that is configured to automatically stop the ablation procedure if the first time setting expires without reaching the time to isolation. The operator can input the first time setting via a graphical display of the catheter system. The automated timer cangenerate an expiration signal if the first time setting expires without reaching the time to isolation. The automated timer can further receive a second time setting from the operator that provides amaximum time that the ablation procedure can continue after reaching the time to isolation. 在消融程序期间具有隔离时间的计时系统包括接收第一时间设置的自动计时器。第一时间设置提供了在未达到隔离时间的情况下消融程序可以继续的最大时间。包括计时系统的导管系统还可以包括控制系统，该控制系统被配置为：如果在未达到隔离时间的情况下第一时间设置到期，则自动停止消融程序。操
