Event or Problem Description
|
|
It was reported the temperature reading remained constant during ablation.A intella nav oi was selected for a ablation procedure.When ablation was performed the temperature displayed remained unchanged at 51 degrees from the midway.Even if the catheter was taken out of the heart, the temperature did not change.There was no problem with the irrigation and there was no foreign object attached/adhered to the tip.It was suspected that the temperature sensor is defective.The procedure was completed using another catheter with no patient complications.
