Recalls naming K160754
K-number listed on FDA's recall record- Z-2638-2025 — Venclose digiRF Generators, Model VCRFG1, with software 3.35 designed to identify internal wiring anomalies in the Venclose EVSRF Ablation Catheter prior to use. The Venclose digiRF Generator is a sophisticated multi-voltage energy delivery system featuring touchscreen control that automatically configures non-adjustable treatment parameters (including time and temperature) for compatible catheters connected via a triaxial connector port. Designed for use with Venclose RF Catheters (either the EVSRF or Maven variants) as an integrated system, the device employs resistive radiofrequency ablation to deliver temperature-controlled RF energy that heats incompetent vein walls, inducing irreversible luminal occlusion followed by progressive fibrosis and eventual vein resorption. The 510(k) submission K250068 encompasses solely the Venclose digiRF Generator due to software modifications with no alterations to the cleared Venclose Catheters (EVSRF and Maven variants, cleared under K160754 and K211806, respectively).
- Z-0371-2025 — The EVSRF catheter is a sterile, single-use disposable medical device for endovenous radiofrequency ablation, a procedure in which a refluxing vein is thermally coagulated to permanently eliminate the vein from blood circulation. The catheter has a long shaft for insertion into a vein, a handle with start/stop button, and a connector cable. The catheter shaft has a heating element that is energized by the digiRF radiofrequency generator, which is a multi-voltage energy delivery system with touchscreen control that automatically sets the non-adjustable treatment parameters for the catheter. A button on the catheter (or a foot pedal attached to the generator) begins an automated treatment cycle of 20 seconds long at a set temperature of 120 ¿C, and the treatment stops automatically when complete. The catheter is used within a sterile operative field, while the generator remains outside the sterile operative field at all times.
