Outcome

Type	Measure	Description	Time frame	Safety issue
Primary	Number of Participants with Completion of Imaging with the NUVISION NAV Ultrasound Catheter Without Resort to Non-study Mapping Catheter	Number of participants who have successfully completed the procedure (imaging with the NUVISION NAV ultrasound catheter) without resort to a non-study ultrasound device will be reported.	Up to 5 months
Primary	Number of Participants with Serious Adverse Events (SAEs) Within 7 Days of Index Procedure Related to the NUVISION NAV Ultrasound Catheter	Number of participants with SAEs within 7 days of index procedure related to the NUVISION NAV ultrasound catheter will be reported. A serious adverse device effect is an adverse device effect that has resulted in any of the consequences characteristic of an SAE. An SAE is any event that meets one or more of the following criteria: a) leads to death; b) leads to a serious deterioration in the health of a participant that resulted in: i) life-threatening illness or injury; ii) an injury or permanent impairment of a body structure or a body function; iii) in-patient hospitalization or prolongation of an existing hospitalization; iv) medical or surgical intervention to prevent life-threatening illness or injury or permanent impairment to body structure or a body function; v) chronic disease; d) leads to fetal distress, fetal death or a congenital abnormality or birth defect.	Up to 7 days of index procedure
Secondary	Physician Assessment of Deployment, Maneuverability, Navigational Features and Imaging Quality Acquired with the NUVISION NAV Ultrasound Catheter During the Study Procedures	Physician assessment on deployment, maneuverability, navigational features, and imaging quality acquired with the NUVISION NAV ultrasound catheter will be reported. A post-procedure survey will be administered. Each question/sub-question will be answered by the physician using a Likert scale of 1 to 7 (1=poor and 7=excellent) and will be summarized.	Up to 5 months
Secondary	Number of Participants with Other SAEs (Excluding NUVISION NAV Ultrasound Catheter Related SAE) Within 7 Days of Index Procedure	Number of Participants with other SAEs (excluding NUVISION NAV ultrasound catheter related SAE) within 7 days of index procedure will be reported. A serious adverse device effect is an adverse device effect that has resulted in any of the consequences characteristic of an SAE. An SAE is any event that meets one or more of the following criteria: a) leads to death; b) leads to a serious deterioration in the health of a participant that resulted in: i) life-threatening illness or injury; ii) an injury or permanent impairment of a body structure or a body function; iii) in-patient hospitalization or prolongation of an existing hospitalization; iv) medical or surgical intervention to prevent life-threatening illness or injury or permanent impairment to body structure or a body function; v) chronic disease; d) leads to fetal distress, fetal death or a congenital abnormality or birth defect.	Up to 7 days of index procedure
Secondary	Number of Participants with Non-serious Adverse Events Within 7 Days of Index Procedure Related to the NUVISION NAV Ultrasound Catheter	Number of participants with non-serious adverse events within 7 days of index procedure related to the NUVISION NAV ultrasound catheter will be reported. An adverse event is any untoward medical occurrence in a participant whether or not related to the investigational device.	Up to 7 days of index procedure
