Event summary: the patient data files showed at least fourteen applications were performed with catheter 2af284 / 33900-68 on the date of the event with no system notice or any issues.Visual inspection of mapping catheter, 990063-020 / 214709065, results showed the catheter was kinked on the loop (misshape) and all 8 electrodes were missing (detached) from the loop and not included in the biohazard package.The mapping catheter failed the test due to kink on the loop (misshape) and electrodes missing from the loop.The product analysis findings do not indicate a manufacturing related defect.In conclusion, the reported issues (#50005 ¿fluid detection in catheter¿, electrode detached) have been confirmed through testing but not confirmed through the data analysis.The achieve mapping catheter failed the returned product inspection due to loop misshape and all electrodes missing (detached) from the loop.If information is provided in the future, a supplemental report will be issued.
