Shots:

  • The approval is based on DIAMOND-AF trial assessing the safety and efficacy of the DTA system vs contact force-sensing ablation system in 482 patients with recurrent, symptomatic, PAF whose condition is unresponsive to drug therapy
  • Results: patient complication rate (96.7% vs 93.4%); primary effectiveness (79.1% vs 75.7%); procedural efficiencies with shorter total RF times, individual RF ablation duration and reduction in volume of infused saline
  • The DTA system is the 1st FDA-approved, temperature-controlled, irrigated RF ablation system with diamonds currently available to deliver ablations
