Abstract
The disclosure describes a system that may be used to deliver a plurality of therapies using one portable device. The system includes an operation indicator that visually indicates the power and delivery status to a physician. The visual operation indicator includes a plurality of lights under a translucent cover to emit a glowing light. Light is visible from either side of a screen housing that includes a touch screen, such that the physician can see the indicator from multiple locations within the room. In addition, the therapy delivery device may include a signal generator, a connector board port, a connector board that removably couples to the connector board port, and a fluid pump. Generated signals may be delivered by a peripheral accessory connected to the generator through the connector board, and the generator may generate radio frequency (RF) energy for the purpose of prostate tissue ablation.
