The Navigant Navigation Workstation (NWS) is a component of the Magnetic Navigation System (MNS). The MNS with NWS is intended to navigate compatible magnetic devices through tissue to designated target sites in the right and left heart and coronary vasculature by orienting the device tip in a desired direction. The Navigant feature provides an enhanced navigation interface for the physician to control the 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.
