## Recalls

- Z-2638-2025 · Class II · ongoing · initiated 2025-08-21: Software version 3.35 of the Venclose digiRF Generator incorporates a catheter verification feature specifically designed to detect internal wiring anomalies in Venclose EVSRF Ablation Catheters prior to clinical use. This automated diagnostic check is executed immediately upon catheter connection to the generator, occurring before the procedure interface becomes accessible. When a catheter fails this verification process, the generator displays a Red X indicator on the screen without accompanying error codes, effectively disabling catheter functionality. However, BD has determined that software version 3.35 generates false positive failures due to temperature-dependent verification parameters, incorrectly flagging properly functioning Venclose EVSRF Ablation Catheters as defective when the catheter temperature is not at steady state during the check initiation.
- Z-0371-2025 · Class II · ongoing · initiated 2024-09-04: The Venclose" RF Ablation Catheters may have been manufactured with internal wiring error. The red and yellow signal wires were soldered on swapped ports of the catheter PCB. This error in wire configuration would lead to power being applied through the proximal 3/4th of the heating coil, bypassing the thermocouple, which will then cause the generator to overdrive the catheter in an attempt to reach desired temperature set point. The wire attachment error causes the device to reach temperatures exceeding the levels intended for therapeutic efficacy, while the console is falsely indicating that temperature has not yet been reached, thus increasing the risk of harm due to excessive temperature.
