What is it?
Stereotaxis Genesis RMS is a robotic magnetic navigation system that uses externally applied magnetic fields to remotely steer electrophysiology catheters through the heart for cardiac ablation and arrhythmia treatment.
Who is it for?
- Cardiac electrophysiologists performing complex catheter ablation for atrial fibrillation and VT
- EP labs reducing physician radiation exposure from prolonged fluoroscopy procedures
- High-volume arrhythmia centres performing complex mapping and ablation procedures
- Academic medical centres researching robotic catheter navigation for cardiac applications
Key specs
- Navigation: external magnetic field steering
- Precision: 1mm catheter positioning
- Procedures: cardiac ablation, EP mapping
- Physician benefit: remote operation outside radiation field
- Installation: dedicated magnetic shielded EP lab
How it compares
Vs manual EP catheter manipulation: Genesis RMS provides more consistent catheter stability and positioning precision than manual manipulation, particularly in complex anatomy. The remote operation benefit eliminates lifetime radiation dose accumulation for electrophysiologists.
Limitations
- $3M–$5M system plus dedicated shielded EP lab infrastructure investment
- Limited to catheter-compatible procedures only
- Niche market limits installed base vs surgical robots
- Requires dedicated magnetic shielding in the EP lab construction
FAQ
How much does the Stereotaxis Genesis RMS cost?
Stereotaxis Genesis RMS pricing is available through Stereotaxis enterprise contracts. Full system installation cost including infrastructure is $3M–$5M. Contact Stereotaxis for formal pricing.
What is the Stereotaxis Genesis RMS used for?
Genesis RMS is a robotic magnetic navigation system for cardiac electrophysiology procedures, using externally applied magnetic fields to remotely steer electrophysiology catheters through the heart's chambers from outside the patient.
What are the key specs of the Genesis RMS?
Genesis RMS uses two powerful permanent magnets positioned around the patient to generate a navigable magnetic field, enabling remote catheter steering with 1mm precision for cardiac ablation, mapping, and electrophysiology procedures.
Who uses the Stereotaxis Genesis RMS?
Genesis RMS is used by cardiac electrophysiologists performing catheter ablation for atrial fibrillation, ventricular tachycardia, and other complex arrhythmias where precise catheter positioning in the heart is critical.
What is the primary benefit of Genesis RMS for electrophysiologists?
Genesis RMS allows electrophysiologists to perform complex cardiac catheter procedures from a control room outside the X-ray radiation field, eliminating the radiation exposure burden that affects interventional cardiologists and electrophysiologists.
