  • Causa
    The manufacturer has received an increased number of complaints related to a low temperature measurement anomaly at electrodes of the nmarq® circular irrigated catheter., during the same time period, has also received three reports of deaths of patients who were treated with the nmarq® circular irrigated catheter. two of these cases were confirmed to be caused by atrio-oesophageal fistula., no direct link could be confirmed between the low temperature issue and the atrio-oesophageal fistula as it was detected in only one of the two confirmed cases. therefore, the low temperature issue may be a secondary risk factor as it may affect power titration and delivery during radio frequency ablation.As a result of these issues, biosense webster is recalling the nmarq® circular irrigated catheter and is conducting a full investigation.
