CARLSBAD, Calif. and
WASHINGTON, Jan. 23, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Acutus
Medical's next mission is confirmed: AF Symposium,
January 23-25, in Washington, D.C. Mission: Possible will
highlight Acutus' continued innovation and advancement of the
electrophysiology space by showcasing the AcQMap System. Acutus
will illustrate the benefits of the second generation AcQMap 3D
Imaging and Mapping System to hundreds of physicians from around
the world, showcasing its unique technology. On Friday, January 24, at 7:15 a.m. ET, the AF Symposium main stage will
live-stream a case study from Oxford
University Hospitals followed by a panel discussion.
AcQMap is the first and only all-in-one 3D imaging and mapping
system capable of three mapping modalities: contact, single
position non-contact, and Hover Mapping. Hover Mapping with
SuperMap received CE mark in October
2019. Physician experience confirms the value of SuperMap in
delivering accuracy, speed, efficiency and intuition to map
repetitive multi-circuit and multi-morphic rhythms. With three
mapping modes, physicians can map any rhythm in under three
minutes, irrespective of complexity, eliminating the need to choose
which mapping system or tools to use prior to the procedure.
"This system will increase the likelihood of using AcQMap for
mapping rhythms other than AF [atrial fibrillation]," said
Simon James, M.D., James Cook
University Hospital, Middlesbrough,
United Kingdom. "It takes away the need to decide which
system to use in advance, as this system can map any rhythm. AcQMap
feels like contact mapping in terms of catheter manipulation, but
with the advantages of having more than one mapping option,
depending on where the rhythm turns. For the first time, I can
truly offer tailored and personalized treatment with rapid,
consistent and reproducible results."
"Exceeding physician expectation is not the norm and it's
definitely not easy. But it's exactly what we've done and continue
to do at Acutus," stated Vince
Burgess, President and CEO of Acutus Medical. "We hit the
mark by streamlining workflow and creating an accurate solution
that is fast, fun and easy to use."
AcQMap combines proprietary charge mapping and
high-resolution ultrasound imaging to create animated,
three-dimensional images in seconds that display precise anatomy
and atrial arrhythmias. Physicians are able to uncover the
electrical activation pattern of the heart and create a
full-chamber, 360-degree look at the atrium in real time for each
individual patient, enabling truly customized and differentiated
treatment for every case using an iterative map, ablate, re-map
strategy.
Acutus is also serving as a sponsor of AF Symposium's 2020
Fellows Program, which provides an opportunity for
electrophysiologists to learn more about innovative technologies
and processes that can help improve techniques and deliver optimal
patient outcomes.
Also, included in the hands-on display at the 25th
International AF Symposium is Acutus' complete commercial product
portfolio with supporting clinical evidence, as well as a
demonstration of the groundbreaking first and only No-Stress Access
3-In-1 Transseptal Access System.
About Acutus Medical
Acutus Medical is a dynamic
arrhythmia care company focused on developing distinct, innovative
technologies that provide physicians and patients with absolute
results. At Acutus, we know that seeing is better than believing.
Diagnosing and treating patients with atrial arrhythmias requires
eliminating the unknown. Acutus' advanced cardiac imaging and
mapping system provides real-time arrhythmia visualization
displaying the heart's true activation pattern, turning the chaos
of a complex arrhythmia into a clear vision for
electrophysiologists. Founded in 2011, Acutus is based in
Carlsbad, California.
