Event Description

It was reported that a patient underwent a pulmonary vein isolation (pvi) ablation procedure with a lassostar nav circular mapping catheter for which biosense webster¿s product analysis lab (pal) identified the shaft and tip with a wrinkled texture, and electrode lifted with edges.It was initially reported by the customer that the lassostar nav circular mapping catheter has become stuck inside the lumen of the heliostar balloon catheter.There was no patient consequence and no other details about the event were provided.As such, the event was assessed as a not reportable malfunction since the potential that it could cause or contribute to a death or serious injury, or other significant adverse event, is remote.On 12-dec-2023, the bwi pal revealed that a visual inspection of the returned device found the shaft and tip with a wrinkled texture, and electrode lifted with edges.These findings were reviewed and assessed the issue of damage on the electrode to be an mdr reportable malfunction.

Manufacturer Narrative
