Stereotaxis Inc. Research Report

On July 29, 2013, Stereotaxis Inc. (Stereotaxis) announced that it has been granted 510(k) clearance by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to market its Vdrive Robotic Navigation System with V-Sono Intracardiac Echocardiography (ICE) catheter manipulator in the U.S. According to Stereotaxis, the Vdrive with V-Sono system is indicated for the remote control of compatible ICE (or ultrasound) catheters inserted into the right atrium. Stereotaxis said that the Vdrive, with V-Sono system, can improve efficiency for a Niobe ES remote magnetic navigation procedure by enabling a single-operator workflow through eliminating the need for manual ICE manipulation inside the sterile and radiation field. William Mills, Stereotaxis Board Chairman and Interim CEO, said, "The Vdrive platform has added significant clinical value to a growing number of Niobe ES labs in Europe, and this V-Sono clearance should accelerate procedure growth in our U.S. installed base as well as open up an untapped, expanding electrophysiology (EP) market where ICE catheters are widely utilized."
