A cardiac radio-frequency ablation system catheter is a sterile, flexible, steerable catheter designed to deliver radio-frequency energy to targeted areas of the heart's inner lining to treat abnormal heart rhythms. It is used during electrophysiology procedures to create precise lesions that disrupt faulty electrical pathways, while also enabling pacing and sensing functions for mapping the heart's electrical activity.
This device is intended for single-use only and is introduced into the heart through venous access, such as the femoral vein. It may include monopolar or bipolar electrodes and functions as part of a larger radio-frequency ablation system, with its design and intended use defining its regulatory pathway as a critical component of the system.
