IT WAS REPORTED THAT DURING A CARDIAC ABLATION PROCEDURE, AN ERROR MESSAGE STATING "NO SOUND DURING ABLATION" WAS DISPLAYED WHEN ATTEMPTING TO DELIVER A PULSED FIELD (PF) LESION ON THE POSTERIOR WALL/FLOOR LINE AFTER COMPLETION OF THE PULMONARY VEIN ISOLATION (PVI). THE ERROR PREVENTED FURTHER ABLATION AND COULD NOT BE CLEARED. THE SYSTEM WAS RESTARTED, AND THE POWER ON TEST RESULT INDICATED "RFG (RADIOFREQUENCY GENERATOR) TESTS PASSED, PFG (PULSED FIELD GENERATOR) WAS POWERED OFF." UPON A SECOND RESTART, THE SAME ERROR REGARDING PFG POWERED OFF WAS OBSERVED. DUE TO TIME CONSTRAINTS, THE PHYSICIAN DECIDED NOT TO RESTART THE SYSTEM AGAIN, AND THE PROCEDURE WAS ABORTED. WHILE THE PATIENT WAS UNDER GENERAL ANESTHESIA. NO FURTHER PATIENT COMPLICATIONS HAVE BEEN REPORTED AS A RESULT OF THIS EVENT.
