Robotic technology developer Hansen Medical of Mountain View, CA, will showcase its new Sensei robotic catheter system in Boston at the Heart Rhythm Society's scientific conference this week.
The Sensei system is compatible with fluoroscopy, ultrasound, 3D surface mapping, and patient electrocardiogram data, and is adaptable to any existing electrophysiology procedure room, the company said.
The unit consists of a mobile workstation with a robotically controlled catheter that provides catheter guidance regardless of image orientation, the company said. The device is also placed away from direct radiation during the procedure, and it allows physicians to remain seated throughout a procedure, Hansen said.
