Detailed Description
Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.
Performance: The primary performance endpoint is to demonstrate successful catheter deployment, irrigation and ablation at the target area during supra-ventricular cardiac ablation. The secondary performance endpoint is to demonstrate successful and effective contact force reading between catheter tip and heart wall during mapping and ablation at all locations and all angulations.
Efficacy: Secondary effectiveness objectives will consider acute and chronic elimination of the target arrhythmia, the cost-effectiveness of the system and procedure-related parameters
