Event Description

It was reported that a patient underwent an idvt ablation procedure with an optrell catheter and the carto 3 system was unable to visualize the splines of the optrell catheter.The medical team could only see the shaft of the catheter after mapping the right ventricle.They tried reseating the catheter with no resolution.They switched to the ablation catheter to continue mapping and continued the procedure.No patient consequences were reported.After the procedure, it was noticed that the electrodes on the optrell catheter were black on the carto 3 system.They had heparinized the patient right before they went to the left side of the heart when they noticed the black electrodes.The optrell catheter remained in the right atrium after the black electrodes were noticed and was not used again for the rest of the procedure.After the procedure, upon inspection of the optrell catheter after being taken out of the body, they noticed coagulation on the same electrodes that were showing up black on the carto 3 system.Visualization issue is not mdr-reportable.Thrombus/clot is mdr-reportable.
