The hazard
The Venclose" RF Ablation Catheters may have been manufactured with internal wiring error. The red and yellow signal wires were soldered on swapped ports of the catheter PCB.

The wire attachment error causes the device to reach temperatures exceeding the levels intended for therapeutic efficacy, while the console is falsely indicating that temperature has not yet been reached, thus increasing the risk of harm due to excessive temperature.
