Abbott recalls TactiCath Quartz Contact Force Ablation Catheters with model PN-004 065 and PN-004 075 due to reported loss of contact force information during use, which may affect heart procedures.
High rate of reported complaints for the loss of contact force information while using the TactiCath Quartz Contact Force Ablation Catheter
Abbott is recalling two specific models of TactiCath Quartz Contact Force Ablation Catheters because users have reported losing contact force information while using them. This could lead to inaccurate heart procedures if the catheter's contact force isn't properly monitored during ablation treatments.
The catheter's contact force information can be lost during use, which means doctors might not know how well the catheter is touching the heart tissue. This could lead to improper ablation treatments if the contact force isn't monitored correctly.
Healthcare professionals who use the TactiCath catheters for heart procedures are most at risk. Patients undergoing ablation treatments with these specific models may also be affected.
Check for model numbers PN-004 065 (GTIN 07640157990033) or PN-004 075 (GTIN 07640157990040) on the catheter packaging or label. The product was sold with an expiration date of April 25, 2020.
