As an added benefit for physicians, the Advisor HD Grid mapping catheter was designed with Sensor Enabled™ technology, which can help optimize the accuracy of the cardiac image and provide physicians additional flexibility when pairing the catheter with the EnSite Precision cardiac mapping system.

"The goal in developing the Advisor™ HD Grid Mapping Catheter, Sensor Enabled™ was to provide physicians with an innovative solution to quickly and accurately map complex arrhythmias in patients," said Srijoy Mahapatra, M.D., FHRS, medical director of Abbott's electrophysiology business.


The Advisor™ HD Grid Mapping Catheter, Sensor Enabled™ received CE Mark approval in December 2017 and further expanded Abbott's comprehensive portfolio of mapping and treatment catheters. Combined, the portfolio has helped improve how physicians approach the treatment of complex arrhythmias and atrial fibrillation and introduced a new level of innovation into the electrophysiology market. The Advisor HD Grid mapping catheter has been used in 20 countries since its European launch and the company expects commercial use to begin across the U.S. in the coming months.
