Sonata
How many frames are allowed for the creation of the LA FAM Shell with CartoSound Sonata?
What is 150 frames
True or False: the CIU is the connection point for the Varipulse Catheter
True
Is the study workflow compatible with conscious sedation?
What is the default algorithm for DESTSF?
Stability +
What is the CLOSE protocol?
Utilizes point by point ablation workflow focusing on ablation index
What two catheters locations are supported for LA Fam creation?
RA and RVOT
True or False: CIU Does not Generate RF Energy
True - The trupulse generator does
True or False: Stringent Monitoring included 24 hour holter monitors at 3 months ONLY
False - holter monitoring at months 3, 6 , 12
What is the minimum number of applications for PFA with DESTSF, and why?
4 - clinical evidence reflects fewer than 4 applications results in reversible electroporation
What is the recommended energy workflow for DESTSF?
posterior and inferior regions used with point by point PF
anterior uses RF point by point
What four maps are created with the LV Sonata feature?
What are: endocardial, LV Epicardial, anterolateral pap, posteromedial pap
What cable supplies power to the CIU?
Console to CIU communication and power cable from GEN Com port to AUX port on Trupulse generator
What was the overall success rate at 12 month freedom from symptomatic and asymptomatic atrial arrhythmia?
71.5%
What are the RF ablation index targets for DESTSF?
550 for anterior, roof ridge
400 for posterior wall
What is the recommended tag size and distance for PFA?
6mm, tag size 3
What port on the back of the CIU is responsible for the transfer of energy?
What is the GEN Out port
What was the success rate among patients with high adherence to protocol ?
86.9% with 12 month freedom from recurrence
What is the correct order of the ablation circuit with the DESTSF catheter?
1. Trupulse Generator
2. Connection Interface Unit
3. DE STSF Catheter
4. Grounding Pads
5. Connection Interface Unit
True or false: Lesion widths were smaller with combined therapy vs PF alone (Effect of Sequential, Colocalized RF and PF Ablation on Cardiac Lesion Size and Histology).
False - Lesion widths were significantly greater with combined energy (regardless of which came first) than with PF alone.
How many volume clips are needed for Shell creation when using the Nuvision Catheter?
What is 2 to 3 volume clips
What does the Y cable on the CIU back do?
What was the rate of device- and/or procedure-related Serious adverse events (SAEs) ?
3.6%
Does PFA status provide information on lesion quality? If no, what does it provide?
No it is a binary algorithm that shows whether an ablation has completed all 24 applications and does not take other variables into account
True or False: In the article "Evaluation of Ablation Parameters to Predict Irreversible Lesion Size During Pulsed Field Ablation", it was discovered that impedance decrease and ET are poor predictors for lesion size.
True: lesion depth increased significantly with increasing CF, as well as PFA applications.
