THERMOCOOL SMARTTOUCH Uni-Directional Navigation Catheter (D133602S)
Official recall recorded by the U.S. Food & Drug Administration.
The hazard

Alert 402 implies a "Map: magnetic distortion" when connected to CARTO 3 System. This issue may subsequently lead the physician to ablate in an unintended area when delivering RF energy.
