Evaluation for the Characterization of the Safety Profile of the DiamondTemp™ System for Fast Treatment of Patients With Atrial Fibrillation

• The DiamondTemp Ablation System is indicated for use in patients requiring cardiac electrophysiological mapping (stimulation and recording) and, when used in conjunction with a radiofrequency generator and irrigation pump, for cardiac ablation with monitoring of tissue temperature during ablation.
• In this study, the DiamondTemp Ablation System will be evaluated for the treatment of patients with atrial fibrillation.

Inclusion criteria

• Suitable candidate for intra-cardiac mapping and ablation for arrhythmias
• History of recurrent symptomatic PAF with ≥2 episodes reported within the 365 days
• (12) months prior to enrollment
• At least 1 episode of AF documented by Holter monitor, rhythm strip, trans-telephonic monitor (TTM), or 12-lead ECG prior to enrollment
• Refractory to at least one Class I-IV anti-arrhythmic drug (AAD)
• Eighteen (18) years of age or above

Exclusion criteria

• Previous left atrial ablation procedure
• Intracardiac thrombus, tumor or other abnormality that precludes catheter introduction and placement

• Bleeding, clotting disorders, or known thrombosis
• Severe Peripheral vascular disease
• Uncontrolled diabetes
• Heart valve replacement
• Mitral clip (E-valve)
• Women who are of childbearing potential who are currently pregnant or not willing to use contraception for the duration of the study
