Event Description

A 20-minute procedural was reported for the versacross rf wire kit (containing the versacross rf wire and an rfp-100a connector cable (connector cable)) where the connector cable was not able to establish a connection when connected to the versacross rf wire and compatible rf generator during a left-atrial appendage closure (laac) procedure.While attempting to complete the transseptal puncture, the versacross wire was positioned on the septum and was then connected to the generator through the connector cable.However, the generator did not recognize that the device was connected.The connector cable was disconnected and reconnected, however, the generator still did not detect the device.The grounding pad that was connected to the generator was also swapped out and the generator was replaced with a second generator.However, the issue continued to persist.An nrg transseptal needle and connector cable (baylis medical company inc.) were opened and connected to the first generator and the transseptal puncture was successfully completed.While there was no patient injury reported, baylis medical company inc.Has decided to report this event due to the procedural delay.
