Navigation System Provides Accurate Guidance

By HospiMedica staff writers
Posted on 30 Nov 2006
A magnetic navigation system can provide precise magnetic guidewire navigation in coronary, neurovascular, and peripheral anatomy procedures.

The Niobe magnetic navigation system uses computer-controlled, externally applied magnetic fields that govern the motion of the working tip of the catheter or guidewire, resulting in improved navigation, shorter procedure time, and reduced x-ray exposure. More...
The system is designed to enable physicians to complete more complex interventional procedures by providing image-guided delivery of catheters and guidewires through the blood vessels and chambers of the heart to treatment sites.

The system has been cleared by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for coronary vasculature procedures, neurovascular, and peripheral applications in conjunction with the Cronus magnetically enabled .014-inch vascular guidewires.
Both Niobe and Cronus are products of Stereotaxis (St. Louis, MO, USA).

"While we have no current plans to immediately move into peripheral and neurovascular clinical applications, this clearance provides us with the flexibility to do so at a time of our choosing,” said Bevil Hogg, president and CEO of Stereotaxis. "We believe this latest clearance is further evidence of the broad applicability of our system to the entire body.”
