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.

Biosense Webster is recalling the SMARTABLATE Generator System because Biosense Webster has received two complaints reporting that during an RMT procedure the SMARTABLATE RF Generator inadvertently delivered RF energy.
Class I - Dangerous
The Webster HIS catheter, 4Pole Fixed Curve with Auto ID, is not being recognized by the CARTO 3 navigation System.
Biosense Webster is recalling the LASSO NAV Duo Loop eco Catheters because of reports of difficulty retracting and damage to the spine cover.
Class I - Dangerous
The recall was initiated because Biosense Webster is providing additional labeling for the safe and effective use of the ThermoCool SmartTouch Catheter.
Biosense Webster is recalling the PentaRay Nav Catheter because it has the potential to have partial tip separation from the catheter shaft. Biosense Webster is expanding the recall on 5/1/14 to include all lots of the PentaRay Nav Catheter and the PentaRay Nav ECO Catheter because they can lead to an insufficient bond of the distal tip to the catheter shaft.
Biosense Webster has initiated a recall of the CartoUnivu Module within the Carto 3 System (V3.2.2 and V3.2.3) when used with Siemens Axiom Artis VB Fluoroscopy systems in particular procedural configurations only. If the table rotation is not returned to zero point, there is a misalignment between the Carto 3 System map display and the fluoroscopic capture.
Class I - Dangerous
Biosense Webster is recalling the 20-Pole LASSO NAV Catheter Eco because it has been incorrectly calibrated causing them to be recognized and displayed as a 10-Pole LASSO NAV Catheter Eco by the CARTO 3 System.
Class I - Dangerous
Biosense is recalling the 20-Pole Eco Cable because it was incorrectly calibrated. When a catheter is connected to an affected to an affected 20-Pole Eco Cable, the catheter will not be recognized by the impacted 54 cable serial numbers within the field.
The recall was initiated because Biosense Webster has become aware of information regarding a potential hazard that may occur during the operation of a Bloom EP Stimulator device in conjunction with RF generators and other electrophysiology (EP) equipment, including the CARTO 3 Electropysiology Mapping System.
