Event or Problem Description
|
|
It was reported that atrial fibrillation occurred.It was reported that a farawave catheter was selected for a pulse field ablation (pfa) to treat a paroxysmal atrial fibrillation (paf).Post procedure, atrial fibrillation occurred.Electrical cardioversion was performed, and the patient's condition improved.The event was reported to be related to an exacerbation of the patient's pre-existing atrial fibrillation (af).Product return is not expected as it was discarded.It was informed that the patient's condition has improved.

Correction to section g2 report source.D2a: common device name: percutaneous cardiac ablation catheter for treatment of atrial fibrillation with irreversible electroporation; reported here as the common device name exceeded the character limit for designated field.Investigation summary:
with all the available information, boston scientific is unable to atrial fibrillation.The device was discarded; therefore, a technical analysis of the complaint device could not be completed.Device history record (dhr) review:
it was confirmed this device met specification prior to distribution and there were no manufacturing deviations which could have contributed to the reported event.Labeling review:
based on the information provided, there is no evidence that the device was used in a manner inconsistent with the labelled indications/instructions for use (ifu).Risk review:
a risk review performed for farawave device confirmed atrial fibrillation is a known event defined in the product risk management documentation.These event types have been accounted for during product risk analysis to support acceptable risk benefit for the product.Investigation conclusion:
boston scientific has assigned an investigation conclusion code of adverse event related to patient condition and supporting evidence that came to this conclusion.The patient had pre-existing paroxysmal atrial fibrillation, and the post-procedural atrial fibrillation was reported to be related to an exacerbation of the patient pre-existing condition.Electrical cardioversion was performed, after which the patients condition improved.There is no evidence of device malfunction or unintended device performance, and based on the available information, a definitive cause for the event could not be established.
