Intended Use

The Affera Integrated Mapping System and Impedance Localization Patch Kit are intended for catheter-based electrophysiological mapping and stimulation.

Technology

The system uses magnetic-based tracking of embedded sensors and hybrid electromagnetic-impedance tracking of catheter electrodes, with software to visualize catheter location and cardiac maps. It includes an interface unit, magnetic field generator, software workstation, and surface localization patches to aid catheter visualization and to detect patient position and respiratory motion.

Performance

Performance testing included design verification, validation, usability evaluation, pre-clinical animal testing, software validation, cybersecurity, electrical safety, EMC, biocompatibility, and packaging validation. All acceptance criteria were met, supporting the safety and effectiveness of the device.
