It was reported a patient underwent an octaray mapping catheter and an irrigation failure occurred.About 2 hours after the start of the procedure, when replacing the thermocool® smart touch® sf catheter (stsf) with the octaray mapping catheter, the irrigation was not functioning.The issue was resolved by replacing the catheter.The procedure was continued and completed without patient's consequence.Additional information received indicated it was the catheter that was believed to have the irrigation issue and not related to the generator.The issue was detected by visual observation and the pump¿s error alarm sound.The octaray mapping catheter was replaced and not reinserted into the patient.
