Reason

Biosense Webster is clarifying the contraindication language in the instructions for use (IFU) and product labeling relative to patients with prosthetic valves. The current language states: "[The] use of this catheter may not be appropriate for use in patients with prosthetic valves." Biosense Webster is updating the IFU to clarify the contraindication statement as follows: "do not use PentaRay catheters in patients with prosthetic valves." this action is not a product removal.
