Cryoablation catheters

Achieve Advance™ mapping catheter

<p>The Achieve Advance™ is an intra-cardiac mapping and diagnostic catheter for cardiac ablation procedures for atrial fibrillation.</p>

Features

The Achieve Advance™ mapping catheter allows for the assessment of pulmonary vein (PV) isolation during the cryoablation procedure. The catheter is deployed through the cryoballoon guide wire lumen, minimizing the number of catheter exchanges and allowing the procedure to be performed using a single transseptal puncture. The Achieve Advance™ mapping catheter may also provide recording of real-time PV potentials during cryoablation with the cryoballoon.

The Achieve Advance™ mapping catheter was developed to allow for iteration and innovation. It offers the following:

  • Solid core design which provides an extendable platform to allow future device enhancements
  • An additional 25 mm loop size which may improve ability to visualize time to isolation (TTI) and accommodate varied PV anatomy
  • Compatibility with cardioversion to reduce the need to remove catheters
