AlCath Force
AlCath Force is a steerable, irrigated, quadripolar catheter with an integrated force sensor. It is built on the well-established AlCath Flux eXtra Gold catheter with X-shaped irrigated GoldTip electrodes, maximizing the natural cooling effect of the blood for safe and effective lesion creation at low flow rates. The advanced single optical fiber technology allows for three-dimensional force measurement.
Product details

- Tip electrody type: Irrigated, 12 holes
- Electrode spacing: 2-5-2 mm
- Electrode material: Gold (Au)
- Shaft diameter: 8F
- Curve shape: Steerable - FullCircle
- Length: 110 cm
Effective lesions
BIOTRONIK’s unique GoldTip, together with its proven three dimensional x-shaped irrigation, delivers effective lesions.
Lower irrigation flow / volume
Innovative force sensing GoldTip with 3D irrigation holes enables uniform cooling and reduced flow rates
Stable force measurement
- Dedicated temperature sensor reduces temperature-induced false force readings.
- Isolated force sensor measures contact force applied at the ablation tip, and is not affected by curve deflection.
Qubic Force
The Force Sensing Unit Qubic Force allows physicians to visualize the AlCath Force catheter tip's contact force on the cardiac wall during an electrophysiological procedure, with or without radiofrequency ablation delivery.
An external monitor is placed in a position easily visible to the user and connected to the Qubic Force. The contact force is displayed which allows the user to monitor the contact force ofthe ablation catheter tip on the cardiac wall, establish proper contacton the cardiac wall, and influence lesion formation.
Product highlights
- Clear structure and focus on the essentials - absolute force, catheter angulation, force history
Plug-and-Play connection to AlCath Force
- Easy to understand user interface without additional interaction
- Connection do HDMI monitors
- Qubic Family allows for optimal lab integration
Intuitive 2D representation of 3D information
- Catheter contact in relation to tissue (0° to 90°)
- Peripheral identification of exceeding forces through color changes
Individual contact force ablation therapy with AcQMap
The seamless integration of AlCath Force, Qubic Force and Qubic RF enables a complete and customized visualization of contact force information as well as RF generator parameters displayed directly into the system's interface.
