## Indications for use
The intended use of the CARTO EP Navigation System is catheter-based cardiac mapping. The CARTO EP Navigation System allows real-time display of cardiac maps in a number of different formats. Maps may be displayed as cardiac electrical activation maps, cardiac electrical propagation maps, cardiac electrical potential maps, cardiac chamber geometry maps and cardiac impedance maps. The acquired patient signals, including body surface ECG and intracardiac electrograms may also be displayed in real time on the display screen.
