Reason

Initial field experience during the external evaluation of nGEN Generator when using the QMODE+ with the QDOT Ablation Catheter presented a higher than expected number of "char" complaints. The development of char on the ablation catheter is a known hazard of radiofrequency ablation. At this time, the device is not being sold commercially in Canada. All nGEN Generators in the field are owned by BWI and have been placed for use in clinical studies (qdot_ngen clinical study (bwi_2019_09)).
