Reason

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.
