WARNING:
• STERILE. Sterilized with ethylene oxide gas.
• For one single use only.
• Do not autoclave.
• Do not use if the package is open or damaged.
CATHETER DESCRIPTION
The Biosense Webster L
right or left atrium through an 8F guiding sheath, similar to Biosense Webster's P
with platinum electrodes that can be used for stimulation and recording.
The L
ASSO
ranging from 25mm to 15mm diameter (± 15%).
With the catheter pointing away from you, rotate the handle to the right to reduce the diameter of the loop. Rotating the handle to the left increases the loop diameter (see Figure 1).
When the handle is fully rotated to the right, the minimum 15mm diameter is attained.
Likewise, when the handle is rotated fully to the left, the maximum diameter of 25mm is attained. Pushing forward on the catheter thumbknob deflects the tip of the catheter. When
the thumbknob is pulled back, the catheter tip straightens.

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.
• Cardiac catheterization should only be performed after adequate attention has been given to the potential radiation exposure associated with the procedure, and steps taken to
minimize this exposure.
• Careful consideration must be given for the use of this catheter in pregnant women.
• Do not immerse the proximal handle or cable connector in fluids; electrical performance could be affected.
• Do not expose the catheter to organic solvents such as alcohol.
• Do not autoclave the catheter.
• To avoid potential damage to anatomical structures, do not attempt to pull the catheter, or withdraw it into the sheath, with the loop in a contracted position. The loop should be
fully relaxed (handle grip rotated fully to the left) to minimize tension applied to the Nitinol structure.
• Do not introduce the L

Federal (USA) law restricts this device to sale by or on the order of a physician.
• To reduce the risk of entrapping cardiac structures in the mapping-electrode portion of the catheter, place the L
Mapping Catheter by torquing (or rotating) the shaft in a clockwise motion only.
• When not in regions intended for mapping, manipulate the catheter with the loop in the fully expanded (i.e. 25 mm diameter) position to further
reduce the risk of entrapping cardiac structures.

CONTRAINDICATIONS
• The L ® 2515 Variable Circular Mapping Catheter has not been shown to be safe and effective for radio

frequency (RF) ablation.
• Use of the catheter may not be appropriate for use in patients with prosthetic valves. A relative contraindication
for cardiac catheter procedures is active systemic infection.
• The transseptal approach is contraindicated in patients with left atrial thrombus or myxoma, or interatrial baffle
or patch.
• The retrograde approach is contraindicated because of risk of entrapping the L
Mapping Catheter in the left ventricle or valvular apparatus. The L
is not recommended for use in the ventricles.
