ST. LOUIS, March 04, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Stereotaxis (NYSE: STXS), a pioneer and global leader in surgical robotics for minimally invasive endovascular intervention, today announced that regulatory submissions were made recently in both Europe and the United States for the MAGiC™ catheter. These submissions follow successful initial clinical results in an ongoing trial.
Stereotaxis’ MAGiC catheter is a robotically navigated magnetic ablation catheter designed to perform minimally invasive cardiac ablation procedures. Building on the experience gained through over 100,000 procedures during the course of nearly twenty years with existing robotically navigated ablation catheters, MAGiC incorporates various features that are designed to enhance patient safety, procedural effectiveness and efficiency, and the physician experience.
The first human procedures with the MAGiC catheter commenced earlier this year as part of a prospective multi-center clinical study. Stellar initial results during the first 20 procedures were submitted for publication to a leading Electrophysiology journal, with the authors documenting 100% acute efficacy and no adverse events. These results were included in the regulatory submissions.
The CE Mark and PMA Supplement submissions of the MAGiC catheter reflect the culmination of an extensive design, development, manufacturing and testing effort. The catheter is the first in a series of interventional devices being developed by Stereotaxis and serves as a platform for future innovations. Stereotaxis anticipates making the MAGiC catheter commercially available for the community of robotic electrophysiologists following receipt of regulatory clearances.
“We are excited to have reached this significant milestone for Stereotaxis and for the physician community that is pioneering the frontiers of robotics in electrophysiology,” said David Fischel, Stereotaxis Chairman and CEO. “We look forward to working collaboratively with the regulatory agencies during their review of our submissions and hope to make the benefits of MAGiC available to patients and physicians in the near future.”
