Post-market Clinical Follow-up Data Collection From Procedures With BIOTRONIK EP Products (BIO|COLLECT-EP)

September 2, 2026 updated by: Biotronik SE & Co. KG
This data collection is designed to provide evidence for the safety, performance, and clinical benefit of BIOTRONIK's EP products. Additionally, residual risks will be monitored and newly emerging risks identified.

Study Overview

Status

Status

Indicates the current recruitment status or the expanded access status.
Recruiting

Conditions

Conditions

The disease, disorder, syndrome, illness, or injury that is being studied. On ClinicalTrials.gov, conditions may also include other health-related issues, such as lifespan, quality of life, and health risks.

Intervention / Treatment

Intervention / Treatment

A process or action that is the focus of a clinical study. Interventions include drugs, medical devices, procedures, vaccines, and other products that are either investigational or already available. Interventions can also include noninvasive approaches, such as education or modifying diet and exercise.

Detailed Description

In this study, data from routine care will be collected and evaluated to support regulatory post-market clinical follow-up demands under MDR as well as maintenance of the regulatory approval of the BIOTRONIK's EP product portfolio in the CE region. This is a prospective, observational, multi-center, international, open-label, non-randomized study that aims to provide evidence for the clinical safety, performance, and clinical benefit of BIOTRONIK's EP products. The patients participating in the study either receive a diagnostic or therapeutic catheter intervention, which are indicated for temporary transvenous application in patients with cardiac arrhythmias. They will be used in combination with external devices like RF generators, external pacemakers cardiac stimulators and / or irrigation pumps.

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility Criteria

The key requirements that people who want to participate in a clinical study must meet or the characteristics they must have. Eligibility criteria consist of both inclusion criteria (which are required for a person to participate in the study) and exclusion criteria (which prevent a person from participating). Types of eligibility criteria include whether a study accepts healthy volunteers, has age or age group requirements, or is limited by sex.

Ages Eligible for Study

14 years and older (Adult, Older Adult)

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

No

Sampling Method

Probability Sample

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, the planned outcome measure that is the most important for evaluating the effect of an intervention/treatment. Most clinical studies have one primary outcome measure, but some have more than one.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Rate of Device deficiencies
Time Frame: During EP procedure
Device deficiencies for each investigational device type that occur during the EP procedures in patients, users or other persons
During EP procedure
Rate of Peri-procedural adverse device effects for each investigational device type
Time Frame: Until or at 24-hour follow-up
Peri-procedural adverse device effects for each investigational device type that occur in all patients until or at the 24-hour follow-up
Until or at 24-hour follow-up
Rate of Post-procedural adverse device effects
Time Frame: After the 24-hour follow-up until or at the 3- to 6-month follow-up
Post-procedural adverse device effects that occur in the AlCath group after the 24-hour follow-up until or at the 3- to 6-month follow-up
After the 24-hour follow-up until or at the 3- to 6-month follow-up
Percentage of Clinical benefit confirmations per number of use cases
Time Frame: At the time of procedure
Clinical benefit at the time of procedure for each investigational device type
At the time of procedure

Other Outcome Measures

Other Outcome Measures

For clinical trials, a planned measurement described in the protocol that is used to determine the effect of an intervention/treatment on participants. For observational studies, a measurement or observation that is used to describe patterns of diseases or traits, or associations with exposures, risk factors, or treatment. Types of outcome measures include primary outcome measure and secondary outcome measure.
