What is it indicated for?
The Volta AF-Xplorer assists operators in the real-time manual or automatic annotation of 3D anatomical and electrical maps of human atria for the presence of multipolar intra-cardiac atrial electrograms exhibiting spatiotemporal dispersion during atrial fibrillation or atrial tachycardia.
The clinical significance of utilizing the Volta AF-Xplorer software to help identify areas with intra-cardiac atrial electrograms exhibiting spatiotemporal dispersion for catheter ablation of atrial arrhythmias, such as atrial fibrillation, has not been established by clinical investigations.
Indications for use as stated in the FDA summary.
