Galaxy Medical Gets CE Mark for Centauri PEF System

Galaxy Medical received a CE mark for its Centauri Pulsed Electric Field (PEF) system for the treatment of paroxysmal atrial fibrillation, a temporary form of atrial fibrillation, also known as arrhythmia.

The device targets arrhythmias by delivering quick bursts of high-voltage and high-frequency energy. The Centauri system is indicated for use in PEF ablation using focal catheters.

The device can provide a safer and more effective alternative to thermal ablation, a procedure that destroys tissue through heat applications, the company said.

Galaxy Medical is partnering with several European centers for the initial launch and then plans on a broader rollout.
