- GMDN category: Electrophysiology cardiac catheter, single-use
Intended purpose
The device is indicated for the electrical recording or stimulation of endocardial structures. In particular the catheter is used for obtaining and recording electrograms from the atrial region of the heart.
Functional description
The device is intended to facilitate electrophysiological mapping of the heart. It consists of a handle and a shaft with a distal loop containing an array of platinum‐iridium electrodes for stimulation and recording. The device is available in a number of different electrode configurations, curve types and loop diameters. The distal tip can be deflected by pushing/pulling the deflection knob.
