Next-generation AcQMap 3D imaging and mapping catheter. The only integrated high-resolution ultrasound-based imaging and non-contact mapping catheter capable of capturing cardiac imaging information in addition to cardiac electrical activation mapping is enhanced with improved torque response, handling, and maneuverability. AcQMap Catheter’s advanced transducer and electrode design, when partnered with the AcQMap System, allows electrophysiologists to create an anatomical map of the atrial chambers of the heart and map simple and complex electrical patters of the heart in sinus and complex arrhythmias. Improved visualization of the arrhythmia in cardiac tissue allows physicians to employ new approaches to cardiac ablation as evidenced in a recently published article online in the Heart Rhythm Society Journal. Independent investigators found that 87.5% of patients experienced freedom from AF at two years after a single ablation procedure informed by Acutus’ AcQMap System.
In Europe, there are approximately 350,000 cardiac ablations annually. This procedure volume is expected to grow to 475,000 by 20252. The increasing prevalence of complex arrythmias and the associated burden on patients and healthcare providers requires new solutions from access to diagnosis to therapy.
The AcQCross Universal Transseptal Access System and the second-generation AcQMap 3D imaging and mapping catheter are now commercially available in Europe and the United States. The AcQGuide VUE and second generation AcQGuide MAX are approved in Europe but are not cleared for sale in the United States. For more information, visit www.acutusmedical.com/us/.
