According to the reporter, during ablation procedure, once the system was set, the physician tested the antenna, and the generator immediately displayed the red warning sign alarm with the number 4 and 3 next to it.After rebooting the generator, same alarm occurred, so the antenna was discarded and needed to be replaced by a new one.On the photo provided, a triangle error sign with a number 4 and 3 can be seen.The issue led to a cancelled procedure with the patient under anesthesia and rescheduled.The used antenna was tested with all the other parts of the system and the generator was the only failing part.
