Product
THERMOCOOL SMARTTOUCH Bi-Directional Navigation Catheter (D-132704-S, D-132705-S)
Reason
Biosense Webster, Inc. has recently received an increased number of complaints related to the display of Alert 402 on the CARTO 3 System for certain lots of THERMOCOOL brand catheters. Alert 402 implies a "Map: magnetic distortion" when connected to CARTO 3 System. This issue may subsequently lead the physician to ablate in an unintended area when delivering RF energy.
