Eligibility
Key inclusion criteria
1. Documented symptomatic PAF or PersAF. Documentation requirements are as follows:

Paroxysmal:
* Physician's note indicating recurrent self-terminating AF with = 2 episodes of PAF within the 6 months prior to enrollment AND
* One electrocardiographically documented PAF episode within 12 months prior to enrollment.

Persistent: Continuous AF sustained beyond 7 days and less than 1 year that is documented by
* Physician's note, AND either
* 24-hour Holter within 180 days prior to enrollment, showing continuous AF, OR
* Two electrocardiograms (from any form of rhythm monitoring) showing continuous AF:

* That are taken at least 7 days apart but less than 12 months apart
* If electrograms are more than 12 months apart, there must be one or more Sinus Rhythm recordings in between or within 12 months prior to consent/enrollment
* The most recent electrocardiogram must be within 180 days of enrollment.

NOTE: Documented evidence of the AF episode must either be continuous AF on a 12-lead ECG or include at least 30 seconds of AF from another ECG device.
2. Plans to undergo a PVI catheter ablation procedure due to symptomatic PAF or PersAF and is refractory, intolerant, or contraindicated to at least one Class I-IV AAD medication
3. At least 18 years of age
4. Able and willing to comply with all trial requirements including pre-procedure, post- procedure, and follow-up testing and requirements
5. Informed of the nature of the trial, agreed to its provisions, and has provided written informed consent as approved by the Institutional Review Board/Ethics Committee (IRB/EC) of the respective clinical trial site.
Minimum age
18 Years
