TactiSys™ Quartz Equipment hardware and accessories. The TactiSys Quartz Equipment hardware and accessories are indicated for use in conjunction with a TactiCath™ Contact Force Ablation Catheter. General knowledge of cardiac ablation procedures and an understanding of the features and functions of the TactiSys Quartz Equipment hardware are a prerequisite for proper use. CAUTION: Do not operate the TactiSys Quartz Equipment hardware without having completely read and understood these instructions.
Contact Force Ablation Catheter to an external RF generator. The TactiSys Quartz Equipment hardware collects data from the catheter to compute the force and related information. TactiSys Quartz Equipment hardware operates as a server, sending contact force information to the EnSite™ Contact Force Module (referred later in this document as “Client”).
Visualization and storage of the force information coming from the catheter tip during mapping and ablation • Visualization of the contact force signal System Interconnections and List of Accessories See “System Interconnections” on page 25 for an overview of the TactiSys Quartz Equipment hardware interconnections with other devices in the electrophysiology laboratory.
TactiCath Quartz Set as described in this User Manual. Training on the TactiCath Quartz Set will be provided by St. Jude Medical personnel or by trainers accredited by St. Jude Medical, at the installation of the TactiCath Quartz Set.
