This clinical investigation is intended to demonstrate safety and effectiveness of the TactiFlex™ Ablation Catheter Sensor Enabled™, the Volt™ Pulse Field Ablation (PFA) Generator, and EnSite™ X EP System with EnSite™ Pulsed Field Ablation Software for the treatment of symptomatic, recurrent paroxysmal atrial fibrillation (PAF).
This is a pre-market, prospective, single-arm, non-randomized, multicenter clinical investigation. Up to 150 subjects will be enrolled in this clinical investigation at up to 25 investigational sites worldwide. The clinical investigation is sponsored by Abbott.

Incidence of primary safety endpoint events
The primary safety endpoint is the proportion of subjects experiencing a device and/or procedure-related serious adverse event (SAE) with onset within 7 days of any ablation procedure (index or repeat procedure performed 0-90 days post initial procedure) that uses the TactiFlex PFA System defined below: * Atrio-esophageal fistula * Cardiac tamponade/perforation * Death * Heart block * Myocardial infarction * Pericarditis * Phrenic nerve injury resulting in diaphragmatic paralysis * Pulmonary edema * Pulmonary vein stenosis * Stroke/cerebrovascular accident * Thromboembolism * Transient ischemic attack * Vagal nerve injury/gastroparesis * Major Vascular access complications / major bleeding event * Device and/or procedure related cardiovascular and/or pulmonary adverse event that prolongs hospitalization for more than 48 hours (excluding hospitalization solely for arrhythmia recurrence or non-urgent cardioversion)
Time frame: 7 days
Freedom from documented AF/AFL/AT recurrence
The primary effectiveness endpoint for this clinical trial is freedom from documented (symptomatic or asymptomatic) AF/AFL/AT episodes of \>30 seconds duration that are documented by protocol-specified 12-lead ECG, TTM or Holter monitor (HM) devices after the index ablation procedure through 6 months of follow-up (after a 90-day blanking period following the index ablation procedure).
Time frame: 6 months
