Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract]  
Nature of the Business Nature of the Business—The “Company” or “AtriCure” consists of AtriCure, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. The Company is a leading innovator in surgical treatments and therapies for atrial fibrillation (Afib), left atrial appendage (LAA) management and post-operative pain management, and sells its products to medical centers globally through its direct sales force and distributors.
Basis of Presentation Basis of Presentation—The accompanying interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The accompanying interim financial statements are unaudited, but in the opinion of the Company’s management, contain all normal, recurring adjustments considered necessary to present fairly the financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP) applicable to interim periods. Certain information and footnote disclosures included in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been omitted or condensed. The Company believes the disclosures herein are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. Results of operations are not necessarily indicative of the results expected for the full year or for any future period. The accompanying interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited financial statements included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021 filed with the SEC. There have been no changes in the Company's significant accounting policies for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 as compared to the significant accounting policies described in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021 filed with the SEC.
Use of Estimates Use of Estimates—The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, including intangible assets, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expense. Estimates are based on historical experience, where applicable, and other assumptions believed to be reasonable by management. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Segments Segments—The chief operating decision maker for the Company is the Chief Executive Officer. The Chief Executive Officer reviews financial information presented on a consolidated basis, accompanied only by information about revenue by product type and geographic area, for purposes of allocating resources and evaluating financial performance. Accordingly, the Company has determined that it has a single operating segment.
Earnings Per Share
Earnings Per Share—Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing the net (loss) income by the weighted average number of shares of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share reflects net income available to common stockholders divided by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period and any dilutive common share equivalents, including shares issuable upon the vesting of restricted stock awards and restricted stock units, exercise of stock options as well as shares issuable under the Company's employee stock purchase plan (ESPP).

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, net loss per share excludes the effect of 1,472 shares because the effect would be anti-dilutive. The computation of diluted earnings per share in the three and nine months periods ended September 30, 2021 excludes 491 and 582 shares because the effect would be anti-dilutive.
Fair Value FAIR VALUE
The Financial Accounting Standards Board’s (FASB) Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures” (ASC 820), defines fair value as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. Valuation techniques used to measure fair value must maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. The fair value hierarchy is based on three levels of inputs, of which the first two are considered observable and the last unobservable, that may be used to measure fair value:
•Level 1—Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
•Level 2—Inputs other than Level 1 that are observable, either directly or indirectly, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.
•Level 3—Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities.
Comprehensive Loss and Accumulated Other Comprehensive Loss In addition to net losses, comprehensive loss includes foreign currency translation adjustments and unrealized gains (losses) on investments.
