Abbott CEO: ‘We’re right on time’ to the PFA party

As competitors have launched their first pulsed field ablation devices in the U.S., Abbott CEO Robert Ford told investors that the company is not just playing defense.

Medtronic, Boston Scientific and Johnson & Johnson have already debuted PFA systems in the U.S. However, Abbott is preparing to launch its own system next year.

“I don't think it's a question of Abbott being late,” Ford said on an earnings call. “We're right on time, and we're complete with the full portfolio.”

Cardiac ablation is used to treat heart rhythm disorders, and PFA is quickly becoming the preferred method, due to its potential for safer and faster procedures.
