Description

THERMOCOOL SMARTTOUCH SF Bi-Directional Navigation Catheter, REF: D-1348-05-S. Used for catheter-based cardiac electrophysiological mapping (stimulation and recording) and, in conjunction with an RF generator, for cardiac ablation.

Reason

Manufacturing error resulted in potential contamination of Bi-Directional navigation catheter irrigation path with cellulose fibers that can cause 1) Failure of initial flushing inspection, 2) Insufficient irrigation causing catheter tip temperature increase, limiting the ability to deliver ablation, or 3) particles flushed through the catheter irrigation may have thrombogenic/toxic effect.
