  • Suitable candidate for intra-cardiac mapping and ablation for arrhythmias.
  • History of recurrent symptomatic PAF1 WITH ≥2 episodes reported within the 365 days (12) months prior to enrollment.

Arms of the Study

Arm 1

Arm Type

Experimental

Arm Label

DiamondTemp

Arm Description

Bilateral pulmonary vein isolation by RF ablation using DiamondTemp temperature controlled catheter and RF generator/pump system

Outcomes

Primary Outcome Measures

Nature and frequency of serious adverse events (SAE) and serious adverse device effects (SADE)
The safety of the DiamondTemp System will be assessed by evaluating the nature and frequency of serious adverse events (SAE) and serious adverse device effects (SADE) during the time of the ablation procedure and within 7 days afterwards.
Electrical Isolation of treated Pulmonary Vein from Left Atrium
The effectiveness of the DiamondTemp System will be evaluated post-ablation with demonstration of acute procedural success defined as isolation of clinically relevant pulmonary veins by demonstration of block or isolation of signals confirmed after delivery of the ablation treatment. Depending on EP lab protocol, one method will be chosen.

Secondary Outcome Measures

Nature and frequency of serious adverse events (SAE) and serious adverse device effects (SADE) up to a year after treatment
The chronic safety of the DiamondTemp System will be assessed by evaluating the nature and frequency of adverse events (AE) and adverse device effects (ADE) at 30 days, 90 days, 6 months and 12 months post-procedure

Investigator can opt to perform other ablations if any non- PV foci are involved in atrial arrhythmia. Follow-up Schedule Screening visit any time during six (6) months before ablation procedure Ablation Procedure (Day 0, all follow-ups post ablation are based on this date) Discharge (5-72 hours) 7-Day Phone Check (7 + 3 days) 1-Month Follow-up (30 + 5 days) Repeat Mapping Procedure Repeat Ablation Procedure, if necessary 3-Month Follow-up (90 + 10 days) 6-Month Follow-up (180 + 30 days) 12-Month Follow-up (365 + 30 days) Additional Follow-up visits (as determined necessary) The study will be considered complete for the purpose of reporting results with regards to the primary endpoints after all subjects have completed the 7-Day follow-up.
