Boston Scientific POLARx™

The POLARx system is a cryotherapy balloon catheter system used for atrial fibrillation; it creates lesions by applying “cold” energy that blocks the transmission of electrical signals.
One of its unique features is that the POLARx FIT version allows two diameters (28 mm and 31 mm) within the same catheter, improving anatomical adaptability.
The catheter system works together with the POLARSHEATH™ steerable sheath, which has a 155° deflection angle, enabling better adaptation of the balloon to the vessels.
The system comes with the SMARTFREEZE™ console, which provides an intuitive interface, automated reports, and safety alerts.
Clinical experience from the POLAR ICE registry shows that at 12 months, freedom from all arrhythmias was 83.5%, while freedom from atrial fibrillation was 88.1%; safety event rate was 4.6%.

The FARAPULSE Pulsed Field Ablation (PFA) system performs ablation using non-thermal (neither heat nor cold) electromagnetic pulses, thereby reducing the risk of damage to surrounding tissues.
The system provides a full workflow solution, integrating transseptal access, ablation delivery, and electro-mapping.
The FARAWAVE ablation catheter features a transformable distal design (flower/basket shapes), allowing adaptation to different anatomies.
The newer FARAWAVE NAV catheter includes magnetic navigation tracking and enables real-time visualization through the FARAVIEW software module.
Clinical experience shows very strong safety outcomes, with no reported cases of esophageal fistula, phrenic nerve injury, or pulmonary vein stenosis.

The OPAL HDx Mapping System is a 3D electroanatomical mapping and navigation system used in electrophysiology procedures; it provides integrated mapping support for both RF (radiofrequency) ablation and Pulsed Field Ablation (PFA).
The system is tightly integrated with the FARAPULSE platform: the FARAVIEW™ module allows real-time visualization of PFA energy delivery points, catheter shape, and rotation.
OPAL HDx operates with a low noise floor, enabling better signal discrimination even in fibrotic or scarred tissue, helping to identify conduction gaps and viable pathways.
The system includes a Signal Station (SiS), workstation, localization generator, and associated cables/accessories.
According to its indications, OPAL HDx is designed for atrial and ventricular mapping, enabling real-time catheter tracking and multi-format cardiac map visualization.

LABSYSTEM PRO is an electrophysiology (EP) recording system and its main function is to collect, display, analyze and store electrical signals inside the heart.
The system works with CLEARSIGN / CLEARSIGN II amplifiers — these amplifiers amplify, filter and transmit the electrical signals to the system.
LABSYSTEM PRO comes with the “LS10K” platform and is integrated with IT security packages — which helps protect patient data over the network. The system offers the user customizable layout and workflow capabilities and allows exporting signals in various formats (ASCII, BMP, JPG…).
LABSYSTEM PRO also comes with archive storage systems and powerful archive operations for more than 5 hours of recording; however, file size limits should be considered for very long recordings.
The system is available with ExpertCare service plans — providing technical support, software updates, preventive maintenance and system maintenance.

INTELLAGEN™ is an RF (radiofrequency) ablation system used to treat cardiac electrical disorders and is compatible with all Boston Scientific RF ablation catheters.
The system allows automatic catheter recognition and quick setup using pre-defined parameters, improving workflow efficiency in EP laboratories.
It includes safety alert functions such as high-current alarms, contact quality monitoring, and user-adjustable thresholds, helping enhance patient safety.
Its modern, intuitive interface includes a touchscreen, real-time parameter display, and clear alerts, making it easier for clinical staff to operate the system.
The system can store physician profiles and different ablation presets, allowing better management of individualized ablation strategies.
