    IT WAS REPORTED THAT AFTER AN ATRIAL FIBRILLATION (AFIB) PROCEDURE, THE PATIENT WAS DIAGNOSED WITH A PERICARDIAL EFFUSION POST AF ABLATION VIA TRANSTHORACIC ECHOCARDIOGRAM. THE EFFUSION IS BEING ATTRIBUTED TO HAVING TO ABANDON THE USE OF CARTO3 DUE TO AN ERROR 8. THE CALLER REPORTED THAT THE ERROR WAS DISPLAYED WHEN THE NAVISTAR WAS CONNECTED. NO PACING WAS BEING PERFORMED. THE CATHETERS WERE DISCONNECTED AND THE PIU WAS REBOOTED. THE PIU INITIALIZED NORMALLY AND THE CATHETERS WERE INTRODUCED ONE AT A TIME. WHEN THE NAVISTAR WAS CONNECTED WITH A NEW CABLE THE ERROR REPEATED. THE CATHETERS WERE DISCONNECTED AND THE PIU WAS REBOOTED AGAIN AND STARTED NORMALLY.
