Intervention/exposure
Study type
Interventional
Description of intervention(s) / exposure
Treatment: Devices - Multi Pulse Therapy

Experimental: Multi Pulse Therapy - Subjects will have AF induced and the Cardialen External Stimulation System (CESS) device will deliver electrical stimulation to terminate the arrhythmia.


Treatment: Devices: Multi Pulse Therapy
The Cardialen External Stimulation System (CESS) is the research delivery system for the proprietary Cardialen MultiPulse Therapy (MPT). The CESS is a custom designed and built research device. It is comprised of off-the-shelf commercial components (power supplies, waveform generators, laptop computer, monitor, rack, ECG system, leads, etc.) combined with a custom electrical circuit board and custom software.
