Features of the Affera™ mapping and ablation system

Intuitive mapping solution


Effective, high-fidelity mapping

Quickly generate high-fidelity, realistic anatomy to enable identification of ablation targets.

Synergy navigation

Utilize hybrid impedance and magnetic mapping modalities for visualization of non-sensor-based catheters.

Beat Matching

Filter maps to electrogram data matching the ECG morphology of a beat of interest.

Automatic and continuous data collection

Display any point regardless of the map filters used during collection.

Refined electrophysiology mapping insights

Explore several of the smart, optimized clinical tools from the Affera™ mapping system.



Automatic, intelligent tags

Leverage instant analysis from Pace Tags about paced morphology response, and Lesion Tags about lesion location, orientation, and quality.


AfferaConnect™ line

Visually confirm ablation groups and lesion set contiguity.



Sensor globe and temperature globe

Consult the real-time mapping and ablation guide for local impedance feedback and tissue temperature display during radiofrequency (RF) and pulsed field (PF) delivery.


AfferaTouch™ feature

Refer to the real-time local impedance indicator providing tissue proximity feedback.
