During patient preparation for a pulmonary vein isolation procedure, and output issue occurred with the ensite x amplifier and the procedure was cancelled.There was an error message from ensite x system stating, "left leg electrode data module error.Reinsert the data module and revalidate.Contact abbott technical service if problem persists.¿ and it was not possible to validate.The data module was reinstated, new patches were used, the ensite x amplifier and the study were restarted, the cable slots were checked, but the issue did not resolve.The procedure could not continue because validation could not be performed.There were no patient consequences.

One ensite x amplifier was received.Visual inspection revealed the front ports, rear ports, and chassis were free of physical damage.For evaluation purposes the port 3 and port 4 small form-factor pluggable (sfp) were temporarily exchanged.The amplifier was powered on and then the amplifier booted to a solid green ¿ready¿ light emitting diode (led) status.This indicated the amplifier passed the power-on-self-test (post) and then successfully communicated with the test station tracker software.The intra-cardiac (ic) short test was then performed and was successful.The amplifier was then connected to a wet lab, field frame, patient reference sensors, surflink, electrocardiogram (ecg) simulator, 10 lead ecg cable set, and a navx patch (set).The left leg was attached and was able to be validated with the test station (multiple use).The field service tool (fst) was then connected, and the amplifier passed post.The field functional test was then performed and was successful.The field reported event was not able to be duplicated.Evaluation testing was successful.Based on the information provided to abbott and the investigation performed, the reported event was not able to be confirmed, and the root cause remains undetermined.The device history record was reviewed to ensure that each manufacturing and inspection operation was performed.No non-conformances associated with the reported event were identified.
