It was reported that a patient underwent an ablation procedure with a pentaray nav high-density mapping eco catheter, and a possible clot issue occurred.During the ablation procedure, the pentaray nav eco catheter was not irrigating.The doctor noticed there was blood backing up in the port.At the end of the case, when he pulled the pentaray out, he could not flush it.No clot was observed in or near the splines.Due to not being able to flush the catheter, the doctor concluded there must be clot in the inner lumen.No error messages were observed on any biosense webster inc.(bwi) equipment.The patient was administered an unknown anticoagulant during the case.The activated clotting time (act) was maintained throughout the case and checked every 15 minutes.No patient consequences were reported.The patent did not exhibit any neurological symptoms, since the procedure was completed.The observed irrigation issue has been assessed as not mdr reportable.The potential that it could cause or contribute to a death or serious injury, or other significant adverse event, is remote.
