* Intracardiac thrombus is present.

* An atrial septal defect repair or closure device or a patent foramen ovale repair or closure device is present.

* The LAA anatomy will not accommodate a Closure Device.

* The patient has known hypersensitivity to any portion of the device material or the individual components such that the use of the WATCHMAN FLX™ Pro Device is contraindicated.

* Any of the customary contraindications for other percutaneous catheterization procedure (e.g., patient size too small to accommodate transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) probe or required catheters) or conditions (e.g., active infection, bleeding disorder) are present.
