Either way, drop 10F 30cm Check-Flo for Philips VeriSight Pro ICE Catheter. As of 9/5/24 we're working on attaching a 10F Mullins or SL0/SL1 to VNC which we'd upsize to from Check-Flo for a second transeptal puncture for ICE. Locate a catheter, ICE display connection cable+adapter (DP-DVI), and the cardboard box in the watchman cart for noninvasive prior to case.
