Reason for Recall

Biosense Webster is recalling the PentaRay Nav Catheter because it has the potential to have partial tip separation from the catheter shaft. Biosense Webster is expanding the recall on 5/1/14 to include all lots of the PentaRay Nav Catheter and the PentaRay Nav ECO Catheter because they can lead to an insufficient bond of the distal tip to the catheter shaft.
