ST. LOUIS and SHANGHAI, Dec. 09, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Stereotaxis (NYSE:STXS) and Shanghai MicroPort EP Medtech Co., Ltd. (688351.SH, "MicroPort EP"), today announced that the Magbot™ Magnetic Navigation Ablation Catheter has received regulatory approval from China's National Medical Products Administration (NMPA).
The Magbot™ Catheter is a single-use magnetic saline-irrigated radiofrequency ablation catheter designed and developed by MicroPort EP in collaboration with Stereotaxis. The catheter works exclusively and in tight conjunction with Stereotaxis' robotic systems, including the recently NMPA-approved Genesis RMN™, and MicroPort EP's Columbus™ 3D EP Mapping System.
Magbot™ incorporates advanced design features that substantially enhance the efficiency, effectiveness, and safety of robotic magnetic catheter ablation. Robotically navigated using low-intensity magnetic fields, the Magbot™ catheter is able to reach areas of the heart otherwise difficult to access with traditional methods and to maintain precise positioning and stability on cardiac anatomy with millimeter-level accuracy. Full integration with Columbus™ enables real-time location tracking and 3D cardiac modeling, allowing physicians to accurately record electrocardiographic data and pinpoint lesions for precise diagnosis and treatment of arrhythmias. A unique six-electrode design enhances safety during procedures by offering visibility of the catheter shaft without the need for fluoroscopy. Magbot™ has been approved by NMPA for the ablation of drug-resistant persistent atrial fibrillation, atrioventricular nodal reentrant tachycardia, and atrioventricular reentrant tachycardia.
