In August 2007, the first clinical trial was conducted in Beijing Anzhen Hospital affiliated to Capital University of Medical Sciences, and the selection of 135 clinical cases in total had been completed by December 14, 2007. The clinical trial program was undertaken by six domestic hospitals with great influence in EP catheter ablation surgery, i.e., Beijing Anzhen Hospital, Jiangsu People's Hospital, General Hospital of Shenyang Military Command, Shengjing Hospital affiliated to China Medical University, Xiangya No.2 Hospital affiliated to Central South University and First Affiliated Hospital of Dalian Medical University. EP project formed good partnership with electrophysiology experts during implementation of clinical trials, and achieved satisfactory results, thus laying a solid foundation for subsequent marketing of the product and the research & development of atrial fibrillation and ablation products.
