Event Description
|
It was reported an intellamap orion high resolution mapping catheter was used in a pulmonary vein isolation (pvi) procedure to treat atrial fibrillation.During preparation, while opening the package, it was noted that the insertion tool was loose at the bottom of the packaging making the physician unable to remove the insertion tool while maintaining sterility.The orion was connected and conditioned successfully and inserted without using a insertion tool.The orion was then advanced into an non-boston scientific sheath via a smaller diameter split away sheath.Once into the chamber of interest, the system failed to detect the orion's deployment.The rhyhmia mapping specialist viewed the 8x8 graph and all electrodes on the orion were "noisy and high impedance / red." it was thought that the mini electrodes may have been damaged by the hemostasis value due to the lack of an insertion tool.The orion was replaced and the issue resolved with no patient complications reported.

Manufacturer Narrative
|
Visual inspection of the device showed no visual issues detected.The packaging was not returned for inspection.During functional testing the deployment issue was confirmed, no deployment was noted due to a magnetic registration problem.There is no evidence this device was used in a manner inconsistent with the labeled indications.It was confirmed this device met specification prior to distribution and there were no manufacturing deviations which could have contributed to the reported event.
