Zusammenfassung:A medical device includes: a secondary electrode assembly comprising a plurality of periphery secondary electrode sets configured to sense a plurality of localized impedances for a periphery of a primary electrode assembly. Additionally, a controller is configured to: permit delivery of electrosurgical energy to the primary electrode assembly in response to a determination that the primary electrode assembly is sufficiently contacting the tissue based on the plurality of localized impedances sensed by the secondary electrode assembly.
