Abbott announced it has received clearance from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration for the EnSite™ X EP System with EnSite Omnipolar Technology (OT), a new cardiac mapping platform available in the U.S. and across Europe that is designed to help physicians better treat abnormal heart rhythms, also known as cardiac arrhythmias. Designed with input from electrophysiologists from around the world, the system creates highly detailed three-dimensional maps of the heart to help physicians identify and then treat areas of the heart where abnormal rhythms originate. This system includes Abbott's proprietary EnSite OT, which leverages the Advisor™ HD Grid Catheter to provide true electrograms (EGMs) regardless of how the catheter is oriented within the heart.

With the ability to sample EGMs in 360 degrees, the EnSite X EP System with EnSite OT can map 1 million points in the heart and provide more precise location of treatment areas. Offering the best of both unipolar and bipolar measurement principles, the system provides mapping without compromise.
