Hansen Medical, Inc. (NASDAQ: HNSN), the global leader in flexible
robotics and the developer of robotic technology for accurate 3-D
control of catheter movement, today announced that it has signed an
agreement with a division of St. Jude Medical, Inc. (NYSE: STJ), a
global medical device company, to commercialize new products based
on the companies' complementary technologies for treating patients
suffering from heart rhythm disorders.
The agreement will integrate the EnSite Velocity Cardiac Mapping
System from St. Jude Medical with the Sensei X CoHesion 3-D
visualization module from Hansen Medical, to provide physicians the
ability to visualize, locate and robotically control catheters
within the heart to diagnose heart rhythm disorders. Hansen Medical
and St. Jude Medical plan to market and sell the integrated
electrophysiology (EP) solution in the United States and the
European Union.
"We are delighted to be partnering with St. Jude Medical again
on such an important integrated solution for the
electrophysiologist that benefits both physicians and patients,"
said Bruce J Barclay, President and CEO of Hansen Medical.
The Sensei X system is Hansen Medical's next generation flexible
robotic platform that uses robotic catheter technology to provide
stable and predictable control of catheter movement during
interventional procedures. The EnSite Velocity System from St. Jude
Medical is an advanced cardiac mapping system that creates a 3-D
model of a patient's heart so that physicians can visualize a
patient's unique cardiac electric and anatomic details, quickly
locate the source of an arrhythmia and formulate a treatment
strategy. The Cohesion module sends data regarding the location of
electrophysiology catheters from the EnSite Velocity System to the
Sensei system. This capability allows the catheters to be displayed
on the Sensei viewing screen and helps improve the user experience
with Sensei X by making it more intuitive and easier to use.
Integrating the sophisticated 3-D technologies from Hansen Medical
and St. Jude Medical enhances the physician's ability to both
visualize and position catheters in difficult-to-reach anatomical
locations and maintain stability throughout interventional
procedures.
Data from clinical studies show that use of the Sensei platform
in procedures for AF and other abnormal heart rhythms reduced
patients' exposure to harmful cancer causing radiation by 63
percent, and reduced fluoroscopy time by 44 percent. Cardiac
catheterization labs have long been considered high-radiation dose
areas due to the extended use of fluoroscopy required for
procedures. Fluoroscopy is a continuous X-ray, which provides
information about bone anatomy, and not soft tissue or the
electrical conduction system of the heart. Combining technology
from Hansen Medical and St. Jude Medical helps make EP procedures
more instinctive in a true three-dimensional navigation and mapping
environment.
About Hansen Medical, Inc. Hansen Medical,
Inc., based in Mountain View, California, develops products and
technology using robotics for the accurate positioning,
manipulation and control of catheters and catheter based
technologies. The company's Sensei® system and its Sensei X Robotic
Catheter System were cleared by the U.S. Food and Drug
Administration for manipulation and control of certain mapping
catheters in Electrophysiology (EP) procedures. The flexible
robotic platform is compatible with fluoroscopy, ultrasound, 3-D
surface map and patient electrocardiogram data. The safety and
effectiveness of the Sensei and Sensei X systems for use with
cardiac ablation catheters in the treatment of cardiac arrhythmias,
including atrial fibrillation (AF), have not been established. In
the European Union, the Sensei and the Sensei X systems are cleared
for use during EP procedures, such as guiding catheters in the
treatment of AF. Additional information can be found at
