Event Description
|
It was reported that a patient underwent an atrial fibrillation (afib) procedure with a carto® 3 system and an unwanted pacing issue and an emergency pacing issue occurred.Initially it was reported that during the pulmonary vein isolation, vvi was conducted, vpacing was in place when vvi was not in time.After the procedure, an experiment was conducted in a tank using a right ventricle catheter (decanav), but no abnormalities were found.The verification was completed considering that the cause on the stimu side was highly likely.The procedure was successfully completed without patient's consequence.Multiple attempts have been made to obtain clarification to this complaint.However, no further information had been made available.With the information available, the event was assessed as not mdr reportable for a ¿stimulation pacing issue¿.There was no risk to the patient.Additional information was received on 3/3/2021.The pacing leads were connected to the primary pacing port.The carto did not allow pacing and ablating at the same time.Unwanted pacing was delivered.The unwanted pacing issue provided in the additional information received was assessed as mdr reportable.The awareness date of this reportable issue is 3/3/2021.Additional information was received on 3/15/2021 which stated that this was an emergency pacing.The emergency pacing issue provided in the additional information received was assessed as mdr reportable.The awareness date of this reportable issue is 3/15/2021.A response was received on clarification of the event on 3/19/2021.When pacing was performed from the decanav in vvi mode from the stimulator, the timing of the pacing was different from the intended timing.However, in the field, it is thought that it was likely a problem or something to the stimulator.
