Manufacturer Narrative

Block h6: impact code f1001 is being used to capture the reportable issue of aborted/cancelled procedure.Block h10: a habib endohpb rf catheter was received for analysis.Analysis of the returned device found the tube strongly damaged.Both electrodes were noted to have worked (glue has turned to yellow color); however, there is no connection noted at the proximal electrode.No other problems with the device were noted.Product analysis confirmed the reported event of device failure to deliver energy.It is most likely that the reported event was due to the observed event of catheter bent/kinked and that the device was damaged during use.Therefore, a review and analysis of all available information indicated the most probable cause is adverse event related to procedure.A product labeling review identified that the device was used per the instructions for use (ifu) / product label.
