Stereotaxis GenesisX RMN with Navigant™ Workstation (NWS) and Cardiodrive® System (GenesisX) is an interventional workstation for the intravascular navigation of appropriately equipped, magnetically adapted, devices (e.g., catheters or guidewires) using computer-controlled permanent magnets to orient or steer the tip of a magnetic device, and remotely advance and retract only compatible magnetic electrophysiology (EP) catheters inside the patient’s heart. GenesisX incorporates software that determines the direction the magnetic field should be applied based on physician interaction with the user interface devices.
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.
