"""The Vdrive® system is intended to stabilize, navigate and remotely control: • Compatible Intracardiac Echocardiography (ICE) catheters to facilitate visualization of cardiac structure during theperformance of cardiac procedure when used in conjunction with the V-Sono™ disposable sets in the Vdrive® system, • Compatible loop (circular) mapping catheters to facilitate movement of the catheter during the performance ofelectrophysiological procedures when used in conjunction with the V-Loop™ disposable sets in the Vdrive® system, and • Compatible fixed curve transseptal sheaths and catheters to facilitate movement of the sheath and catheter when usedin conjunction with the V-CAS™ disposable sets in the Vdrive® system and with the Niobe® Magnetic NavigationSystem (MNS). """
A mains electricity (AC-powered) device designed as a control unit to percutaneously navigate (orientate and steer) a cardiac mapping system catheter, or its associated guidewire, in the desired direction to the designated target site (e.g., coronary vasculature). It uses dedicated software and may employ various technologies (often magnetic fields); it is typically used in the electrophysiology (EP) laboratory.
