CoreMap wins FDA IDE for ablation mapping tech

CoreMap announced that it received FDA investigational device exemption (IDE) to extend its electrophysiology (EP) mapping trial to the U.S.

The study aims to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of the CoreMap endocardial EP mapping system in patients with AFib. It looks at both persistent AFib and long-standing persistent AFib. The company says that, to date, its mapping technology has demonstrated safety and acute effectiveness in more than 50 patients.

CoreMap designed its micro-electrode technology and novel algorithms to address current limitations in AFib mapping. Those include low spatial resolution and inadequate signal density, according to a news release.

The next-generation system guides patient-specific AFib ablation using ultra-high resolution endocardial mapping. Its Envenio EP mapping catheter features a dense array of micro-scale electrodes to capture highly localized, high-fidelity electrograms with minimal fractionation. This enables the use of novel algorithms to identify AFib drivers and support precise, targeted ablation.
