Reason

Biosense Webster has identified an increase in reports of partial tip separation for the PentaRay NAV and PentaRay NAV ECO catheters. After conducting a root cause analysis, Biosense Webster has identified an issue in the production process that can lead to an insufficient bond of the distal tip to the catheter shaft which could pose a safety risk to the patient.
