It was reported that during an ablation procedure, the probe did not have heat output.The clinical specialist (cs) checked the laser output for the probe before inserting into the bolt and noticed the red beam.However, when firing the laser the user experienced cold pixels and no heating.The physician then removed the probe and there was no red beam anymore.This caused an approximate delay of 10 minutes.The user then switched out probes.There were no patient complications reported in relation to this event.
