Cryoablation catheters

Achieve™ mapping catheter

<p>The Achieve™ mapping catheter enables the assessment of pulmonary vein isolation during cryoablation procedures.</p>

Features

The Achieve™ 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™ mapping catheter may also provide recording of real-time PV potentials during cryoablation with the cryoballoon.

The distal mapping section of the Achieve™ mapping catheter is a circular loop with eight evenly spaced electrodes for mapping electrical conduction between the left atrium and pulmonary veins. The catheter may also be used for cardiac stimulation during electrophysiology studies. The Achieve™ catheter features a cable with eight shielded electrocardiography (ECG) pins to connect into standard electrophysiology (EP) recording and pacing equipment.
