Indications, Safety & Warnings

Advisor VL Circular Mapping Catheter, Sensor Enabled 

Rx Only. Brief Summary: Prior to using these devices, please review the Instructions for Use for a complete listing of indications, contraindications, warnings, precautions, potential adverse events, and directions for use.

United States: Required Safety Information

Indications: The Advisor™ VL Circular Mapping Catheter, Sensor Enabled™ is a steerable electrophysiology catheter with integrated sensors.  The catheter is used for recording intracardiac signals and cardiac stimulation during diagnostic electrophysiology studies.  The catheter can be used to map the atrial regions of the heart.  Contraindications: The catheter is contraindicated for patients with prosthetic valves and patients with left atrial thrombus or myxoma, or interatrial baffle or patch via transseptal approach. This device should not be used via retrograde approach. This device is not recommended for use in the ventricles.  The device is not intended for transcatheter ablation. This device should not be used with patients with active systemic infections. Warnings: Cardiac catheterization procedures present the potential for significant x-ray exposure, which can result in acute radiation injury as well as increased risk for somatic and genetic effects, to both patients and laboratory staff due to the x-ray beam intensity and duration of the fluoroscopic imaging. Careful consideration must therefore be given for the use of this catheter in pregnant women. Catheter entrapment within the heart or blood vessels is a possible complication of electrophysiology procedures. To unentangle the catheter, fully open the loop and straighten the catheter shaft, then rotate the handle clockwise. Vascular perforation or dissection is an inherent risk of any electrode placement. Careful catheter manipulation must be performed in order to avoid thromboembolism, cerebral accident, cardiac damage, perforation, pericardial effusion, or tamponade. Risks associated with electrical stimulation may include, but are not limited to, the induction of arrhythmias, such as atrial fibrillation (AF), ventricular tachycardia (VT) requiring cardioversion, and ventricular fibrillation (VF). Precautions: Maintain an activated clotting time (ACT) of greater than 300 seconds at all times during use of the catheter. Excessive bending or kinking of the catheter may cause damage to the catheter. Always straighten the catheter and open the loop before insertion or withdrawal. Catheter advancement must be performed under fluoroscopic guidance to minimize the risk of cardiac damage, perforation, or tamponade. Compatible navigation and visualization systems may be used in conjunction with fluoroscopy.
