Johnson & Johnson MedTech, a global leader in cardiac arrhythmia treatment, today announced European CE mark approval of the Dual Energy THERMOCOOL SMARTTOUCH™ SF Catheter for the treatment of cardiac arrhythmias. The Dual Energy THERMOCOOL SMARTTOUCH™ SF Catheter is an irrigated, contact-force sensing catheter powered by the TRUPULSE™ Generator, and is fully integrated with the CARTO™ 3 System for electro-anatomical mapping and for tag indexing.1 The company expects TRUPULSE™ Generator hardware compatibility in the first half of 2025. When fully approved, the platform will provide electrophysiologists with the ability to switch between radiofrequency (RF) and pulsed field (PF) energy in the same catheter they know and trust. The Dual Energy THERMOCOOL SMARTTOUCH™ SF Catheter is not currently approved in the United States. The Dual Energy THERMOCOOL SMARTTOUCH™ SF Catheter is designed on the same platform as the radiofrequency THERMOCOOL SMARTTOUCH™ SF Catheter – the most commonly used catheter in the world today, with many years of physician experience.
