Description
DiamondTemp™ ablation catheter
As the only open-irrigated radiofrequency (RF) catheter with industrial diamonds to optimize power based on tissue surface temperature, the DiamondTemp™ ablation catheter with RealTemp™ is safe and effective, and has demonstrated procedural efficiencies compared to contact force-sensing RF.
Exclusive diamond-enabled tip tooling
- The 8.0 Fr ablation catheter includes industrial diamonds, enabling rapid cooling due to their high thermal diffusivity property. The catheter tip is comprised of platinum-iridium and diamond components. A network of chemical vapor deposit (CVD) industrial diamonds acts as heat-shunting material.
Real-time temperature-sensing technology
- The DiamondTemp™ ablation catheter runs in temperature-control mode.
- RealTemp™ drives thermocouple readings by the generator 50 times per second and automatically adjusts the power to the ablation set temperature.
- A new study shows that through operation in temperature control mode, the level of applied contact force does not influence lesion size for durations between 5 to 15 seconds.
