Overview The FARAWAVE™ NAV Pulsed Field Ablation (PFA) Catheter integrates magnetic tracking for seamless mapping with the FARAVIEW™ Software Module on the OPAL HDx™ Mapping System. This 5‑spline, over‑the‑wire single‑catheter solution enables combined cardiac mapping and PFA therapy delivery while minimizing catheter exchanges.
How it works When paired with the FARAVIEW™ Software Module, the FARAWAVE™ NAV catheter provides dynamic visualization of catheter shape, position and rotation during FARAPULSE procedures. Magnetic tracking combined with contact sensing allows clinicians to acquire cardiac geometry, perform targeted ablation and confirm workflows with fewer device exchanges.
Why choose the FARAWAVE™ NAV PFA Catheter - Nav-enabled single-catheter workflow for mapping and ablation, supporting controlled rotations and optimized placement
- Shaft electrode enables sheath detection and visualization of all FARAWAVE™ NAV catheter shapes
- Enhanced visualization of shape, position and rotation to support potential fluoroscopy reduction
- Real-time contact sensing displayed in FARAVIEW™ provides actionable contact information during ablation
