Additional information: g3, h2, h3.The case study and collect log files were provided.The reported event stated "the ablation catheter appeared to mis-locate within the heart compared to other catheters" occurred.Review of the provided files indicate the sysref patch was placed quite low on the patient and pacing channels were on.Pacing channel distortion is larger when the catheter is farther away from the sysref patch and pacing channels are on.Ensure that the system reference patch is placed as close to the heart as possible and turn pacing channels off when not actively pacing.
