Evaluation of the Safety, Feasibility and Usability of the EPD D700 System in Atrial Flutter Ablation Procedures

EP Dynamics (EPD) Research First In Man Clinical Study

Demonstrate the safety, feasibility and usability of the EPD D700 system, for the first time in humans, in subjects undergoing ablation for the treatment of atrial flutter.

Prospective, single-center, non-randomized, open label, single arm study. Ten consented subjects who are scheduled to undergo ablation due to atrial flutter. All subjects will undergo baseline assessment; intervention (standard fluoroscopy guided RF ablation procedure) and post procedure follow up. All subjects will have a follow up visit within 24 hours post procedure.

All procedures will be performed under standard fluoroscopic guidance for the treatment of atrial flutter ablation procedure, and the D700 system will be used additionally to demonstrate system safety, feasibility and usability.

The entire procedure will be conducted as customary, using standard and approved off- the-shelf equipment (body surface electrodes, diagnostic and irrigated ablation catheters, RF generator and recording system), in a completely clinically independent manner from the D700 system that will merely be a 'silent witness'. The operator will neither use nor rely on any of the D700 system output for clinical decision making.
