TactiFlex Ablation Catheter Not Properly Recognized by EnSiteX EP System
The TactiFlex Ablation Catheter is not correctly recognized by the EnSiteX EP System, which displays it as a different model, prevents certain features from appearing, and may show an inverted image.
What this means for you
Real risk of harm even if no illness or injury has been reported yet. Stop using the product and follow the agency's guidance.
Our severity reasoning: Class II medical device for cardiac ablation procedures where the system recognition failure and missing feature display could affect procedural safety. Meets the 'risk-of-harm products where injury has not yet been reported' criterion.
