FARAPULSE™ Pulsed Field Ablation System, the world's clinical leader in PFA used in 40,000+ patients, is transforming treatment for atrial fibrillation by:

  • Selectively ablating myocardium to reduce risk of damage to surrounding tissue
  • Delivering durable transmural pulmonary vein (PV) lesions to limit redo procedures for PV triggers
  • Adapting to variable patient PV anatomy for reproducible procedures and limiting left atrium (LA) dwell time
  • Creating workflow efficiencies to simplify the procedure and shorten the learning curve
  • Future technology: Visualizing catheter placement with integrated mapping

Future mapping capability

FARAPULSE transformed the PFA landscape, and will continue transforming the industry with it's future mapping integration (anticipated approval 2024 2H). The magnetically-tracked PFA catheter (FARAWAVE™ NAV Pulsed Field Ablation Catheter) and integrated mapping module (FARAVIEW™ Software Module) will enable powerful, rapid visualization of the ablation area to monitor energy application and visually confirm your workflow.

Transformative possibilities for AFib treatment

Tissue-selective ablation.

FARAPULSE restricts therapy to only the intended target.

  • FARAPULSE met all primary endpoints for safety and efficacy in the ADVENT Pivotal Trial1 (posterior probability >0.999)
  • In the MANIFEST-17K Multicenter Registry, more than 17,000 patients treated with FARAPULSE, reported no esophageal fistula, permanent phrenic nerve palsy, and pulmonary vein stenosis.2

Optimized through experience for lasting efficacy.

Our proven dosing strategy delivers durable lesions.

  • Delivers durable lesions via an 8-application workflow utilizing multiple distal shapes (flower and basket) in a single catheter
  • In a real-world propensity matched study, PV reconnection rate was significantly lower for FARAPULSE vs CBA and RFA.3

Transformative consistency and predictability.

The FARAPULSE workflow is rapid and reproducible, while reducing procedural duration variability.

  • EU-PORIA, a multicenter registry, demonstrated consistent procedure times, even among operators with varied experience.4
  • The ablation time is significantly lower for PFA, with an average reduction of 42% compared to thermal ablation.1
