Product event summary: the pscc100 pulseselect¿ pulsed field ablation loop catheter with lot: 0012979009 was returned and analyzed.No anomalies were identified during visual inspection of the array, shaft, and handle.The catheter passed performance functional testing with a generator; therapy deliveries were completed with no system errors generated.No performance issues were identified.Deflection testing (rotating the steering knob clockwise and counter-clockwise) was performed and the distal catheter tip responded with approximately 170° rotation in both directions.No anomalies were observed.The slide control function operated as expected without any issues.Upon full advancement of the slide control to extend the guidewire lumen, no kinks or other anomalies were observed along the extended portion.Electrical continuity testing revealed an open loop on electrode wire e9.Inspection (microscope/x-ray imaging) and testing was performed to verify the integrity of the catheter sub-components.During the inspection of the spiral array, electrode wire e9 was observed to be detached from the electrode.In conclusion, the catheter did not pass the returned product inspection due to an electrode wire to electrode detachment in the spiral array.Medtronic submits this report to comply with fda regulations 21 cfr parts 4 and 803.Medtronic has made reasonable efforts to provide as much relevant information as is available to the company as of the submission date of this report.This report does not constitute an admission or a conclusion by fda, medtronic, or its employees that the device, medtronic, or its employee caused or contributed to the event described in the report.Any required fields that are unpopulated are blank because the information is currently unknown or unavailable.Medtronic will submit a supplemental report if additional relevant information becomes known.
