MicroPort EP Receives FireMagic™ TrueForce™ Ablation Catheter Approval

Shanghai, China, 19 September 2023 — Recently, MicroPort EP announced that its FireMagic™ TrueForce™ Ablation Catheter (TrueForce™ Ablation Catheter) had successfully obtained CE certification in the European Union and UKCA certification in the United Kingdom.

The TrueForce™ Ablation Catheter, when used alongside MicroPort EP’s Columbus™ 3D EP Navigation System and OptimAblate™ Cardiac Generator, is employed for the treatment of drug-refractory recurrent symptomatic paroxysmal atrial fibrillation.1

When working in conjunction with the Columbus™ 3D EP Navigation System, the TrueForce™ Ablation Catheter can accurately indicate the force value and direction of catheter-tissue contact, establish an energy index, provide ablation energy indications, and offer real-time feedback on the formation of ablation lesions.2

In 2022, the TrueForce™ Ablation Catheter received its initial approval from the NMPA in China. Since then, it has been employed in over 400 radiofrequency ablation surgeries. The recent acquisition of CE certification and UKCA certification marks a significant stride in MicroPort EP’s journey. In the future, MicroPort EP will continue to provide high-quality and comprehensive solutions for electrophysiological diagnoses and treatment to more patients worldwide.
