This Biosense Webster, a division of Johnson & Johnson Medical NV/SA sponsored presentation may include demonstration of the use of medical devices; it is not intended to be used as a medical training guide. The steps demonstrated may not be the complete steps of the procedure. Before using any medical device, including those demonstrated or referenced in this presentation, review all relevant package inserts, with particular attention to the indications, contraindications, warnings and precautions, and steps for use of the device.
Always verify catheter tip location using fluoroscopy or IC signals and consult the CARTO® System User Guide regarding recommendations for fluoroscopy use. Catheter advancement should be done under fluoroscopic guidance. Do not use excessive force to advance or withdraw the catheter when resistance is encountered. Careful catheter manipulation must be performed in order to avoid cardiac damage, perforation, or tamponade.
RF parameters you may find in this session provide conceptual information that does not intent to reflect parameters used in clinical practice (such as Power, impedance, temperature, contact force). Refer to relevant user manual and to clinical practice for recommended parameters.
