About this device
The OPTRELL™ Mapping Catheter with TRUEref™ Technology is designed to facilitate electrophysiological mapping of the heart with the CARTO™ 3 System. It is designed for deployment in a heart chamber through an 8.5 F guiding sheath.
This bi-directional deflectable catheter includes 6 parallel 2 F spines that are joined to form 3 loops on the deflectable tip. Each spine has 6 platinum electrodes that are used for stimulating and recording.

Designed for complex cases
To aid in the most complex cases, the OPTRELL™ Mapping Catheter’s intuitive design and fixed electrode array work with the CARTO™ 3 System to deliver intelligent insights and high-resolution directional mapping.3
High-resolution directional mapping
OPTRELL™ Mapping Catheter offers an intuitive design with a fixed electrode array structure that helps physicians quickly and effectively identify ablation targets.3
Clinical evidence
The OPTRELL™ Mapping Catheter with Enhanced CONFIDENSE™ Module and SMART Index algorithm may help in generating reliable activation maps despite infrequent premature ventricular contractions (PVCs).3
97%
Accurate wave propagation direction5
In a pre-clinical study, 97.4% of the multipolar EGMs resembled the unipolar waveform, enabling the determination of the direction of wave propagation
100%
Complete blocks detected4
Local Conduction Vectors showing complex propagation patterns of block, slow conduction, or wavefront collision successfully detected 100% of gaps or complete blocks.
Pre-clinical swine study (n=10); 6 ablation gaps, 4 conduction blocks
2.5x
Reduction in far-field signal for multipolar EGMs5
Using the OPTRELLTM Mapping Catheter, a pre-clinical swine study demonstrated that there was a 2.5 times reduction in far-field signal for multipolar electrograms (EGMs).
This method may produce more accurate voltage and activation maps, particularly in complex substrate like scar and border zones.5
Features & benefits
Intelligent insights
OPTRELL™ Mapping Catheter and CARTO™ 3 System combine to assist with detailed understanding of complex circuits and mechanisms.4 OPTRELL™ Mapping Catheter and Local Conduction Vectors enable confident detection of ablation lesion gaps.4
- Local Conduction Vectors display real-time information on conduction direction and propagation velocity6
- Thinner and longer vectors for areas
- of relatively fast or normal conduction6
- Thicker and shorter vectors for areas
- of relatively slow conduction6
Fast, High Density Mapping
OPTRELL™ Mapping Catheter offers an intuitive design with a fixed electrode array structure that helps physicians quickly and effectively identify ablation targets.3
- TRUEref™ Technology reduces impact of far-field unipolar signals*7
- High density (36 electrodes)
Multipolar Mapping
The Multipolar Mapping feature provides localized unipolar signals and is designed to reduce far field components that cause inconsistent voltage and Local Activation Time (LAT) measurements from unipolar signals, accentuating the local activation.**8
This feature is designed to work only with an OPTRELL™ Mapping Catheter.
