Following an atrial arrhythmia procedure, the ensite patches were removed from the patient and it was noted the neck and back patches were incorrectly swapped throughout the procedure.The patient arrived to the procedure room with an arrhythmia for a redo ablation procedure.The location of the arrhythmia was found to be originating from the right atrium but below the septum.The geometry appeared somewhat distorted however, the mapping portion of the procedure was completed with this incorrect placement.The procedure was unsuccessful and there were no adverse consequences to the patient.It is unknown if the procedure will be rescheduled.

Additional Manufacturer Narrative
|
|
The results of the investigation are inconclusive since the device was not returned for analysis.The device history record was reviewed to ensure that each manufacturing and inspection operation was performed.Based on the information received, the cause of the reported incident was due to the user placing the patches on the patient in the incorrect orientation.If a user selects incorrect locations for navx patch placement, it will result in the coordinate system not being valid.An invalid coordinate system will result in displayed movement and in some cases the actual movement will be reversed.
