2895

Acutus Medical has announced the FDA clearance of the AcQGuide Steerable Sheath, which marks the first US regulatory milestone for the company. The AcQGuide Steerable Sheath is a percutaneous catheter introducer designed to provide additional maneuverability to catheters that are advanced through the sheath and into the right or left chambers of the heart.

Acutus is currently pursuing FDA clearance for the AcQMap High Resolution Imaging and Mapping System, including the AcQMap 3D Imaging and Mapping Catheter. Both products received CE mark in May 2016.

Heart Rhythm Society meeting Acutus Medical participation

Acutus Medical also announced a series of talks scheduled to be presented at the Heart Rhythm Society’s 38th Annual Scientific Sessions (10‒12 May, Chicago, USA).

Stephan Willems of University Heart Center, Hamburg, Germany will present initial results of the international DDRAMATIC SVT study evaluating the AcQMap system in patients with supraventricular tachycardia on 12 May at 14:00 CT.

A total of six additional presentations will be featured at the meeting highlighting the use of ElectroFunctional procedures in patients with both atrial fibrillation and supraventricular tachycardia.
