Intellamap orion catheter was evaluated by boston scientific.Visual inspection found the device has a spline detached, consequently confirming the reported event, and it may be related with some other factors such as: handling of the device, the technique used by the physician and normal procedural difficulties encountered during the procedure that could have possibly affected the device performance and its integrity.Therefore, this investigation is assigned a conclusion code of "adverse event related to procedure" which indicates that the adverse event occurred during the procedure and the device had no influence on the event.
