Stereotaxis Inc. and Tucson Medical Center announced that they have teamed up to bring the first Stereotaxis Vdrive® robotic navigation system with V-Loop variable loop catheter manipulator to the U.S. With the Vdrive system, physicians can operate the hand controls of common diagnostic and therapeutic catheters from a control room during a cardiac ablation procedure. The Vdrive with V-Loop system, which received FDA clearance in September 2014, is designed to remotely control the advancement, retraction, rotation, tip deflection and loop size of a compatible circular mapping catheter, used in approximately 60,000 complex ablation procedures worldwide each year.
