Exclusive diamond shunt network enables rapid catheter tip cooling

  • Lower irrigation flow rate is required as minimal heat is retained at the catheter tip.

Low-flow irrigation with direct measurement of tissue temperature

During the ablation process, the tissue surface temperature is measured in real-time, 50 times per second. Ablation power is automatically adjusted to match the ablation set temperature.

Precise ablation guidance with localized high resolution electrograms

  • A 1.1 mm high-resolution electrode (HRE) at the tip allows for the recording of highly localized EGMs at the center of ablation with minimal far-field artifact2

  • Align the center of ablation with the center of mapping with a close bipolar catheter tip configuration
