- Primary Safety Endpoint - Procedural success and freedom from FIRE1 sensor complications [ Time Frame: 3 months ]The primary, composite endpoint is success of the FIRE1 sensor, which includes procedural success defined as sensor deployment at the intended site without acute device or procedural related complications and freedom from sensor complications including device migration, clinically significant fracture and/ or clinically significant perforation of the Inferior Vena Cava (IVC) or symptomatic caval thrombosis.
- Primary Technical Endpoint - Signal acquisition from the FIRE1 sensor [ Time Frame: 3 months ]Technical success defined as signal acquisition immediately post implantation and at an attended clinic visit.
- Secondary Safety Endpoint: Freedom from symptomatic access site thrombosis confirmed by ultrasound [ Time Frame: 3 months ]Freedom from symptomatic access site thrombosis confirmed by ultrasound. Freedom from a significant hematoma (defined as requiring intervention, transfusion or prolonging hospitalisation).
- Secondary Technical Endpoint - Successful transmission of FIRE1 signal. [ Time Frame: 3 months ]Successful transmission of a FIRE1 sensor reading from the patient's home.
