The THERMOCOOL SF Catheter Software Upgrade Notice (REF D131603) from Johnson & Johnson communicates that compatible operation of the THERMOCOOL SF porous-tip irrigated ablation catheter requires the Stockert EP Shuttle RF generator to be updated to software version 1.037. The upgrade aligns generator control logic, irrigation flow handling and temperature/power feedback with the SF catheter's 56-hole porous tip design, helping electrophysiology laboratories maintain a validated catheter-generator pairing during cardiac radiofrequency ablation procedures.
Key Features
- Mandatory generator software pairing for the THERMOCOOL SF irrigated ablation catheter
- Targets the Stockert EP Shuttle RF Generator platform
- Required software level: Version 1.037
- Supports porous-tip (56 micro-holes) saline irrigation control
- Maintains validated power, temperature and flow-rate parameters
- Identified by manufacturer reference REF D131603
Clinical Applications
- Radiofrequency ablation procedures using the THERMOCOOL SF catheter
- Electrophysiology (EP) laboratory workflows treating cardiac arrhythmias
- Ensuring generator-catheter compatibility prior to RF energy delivery
- Hospital biomedical engineering scheduled software maintenance
- Catheter-lab capital equipment lifecycle and version control
