The Stereotaxis Cardiodrive is intended for automatically advancing and retracting only compatible magnetic electrophysiology (EP) mapping and ablation catheters inside the patient's heart when used in conjunction with a Stereotaxis Magnetic Navigation System (MNS). It is not intended to advance the EP mapping and ablation catheters through the coronary vasculature nor the coronary sinus.
An assembly of electromechanical devices used during orthopaedic computer assisted surgery (CAS) as a functional extension of the surgeon for precise procedural movement and placement (navigation) during the procedure (e.g., placement of a pedicle screw in spinal surgery). It is computer-based and typically consists of, e.g., an operator's console and a video camera used to track the instrumentation. The input to the computer is usually by means of an existing CT or MRI scan that is used as a template. The system tracks the instrumentation by reading the location points giving a three-dimensional (3-D) picture of the instrument's position/angulation. It can also be used as a training aid.
