    The FDA has approved the Dual Energy THERMOCOOL SMARTTOUCH SF Platform from Johnson & Johnson for catheter ablation.

  • 2

    This platform allows electrophysiologists to deliver both pulsed field and radiofrequency energy through a single catheter.

  • 3

    The platform is built on the existing THERMOCOOL SMARTTOUCH SF catheter platform, used in over one million US patient treatments.

  • 4

    The Dual Energy platform integrates with the CARTO ecosystem for enhanced mapping, imaging, and guidance.

  • 5

    First US procedures using the platform are expected to begin this summer as part of a phased commercial rollout.
