Interventional Systems launches the Micromate Robotic Platform
"Interventional Systems (iSYS Medizintechnik GmbH, Austria) releases its new robotic platform, Micromate for use in Europe.
The first six installations will occur in the beginning of the second
quarter of this year, at the same time a 510(k) submission is planned.
The product can also be observed and tested first-hand at the upcoming
2020 editions of the European Congress of Radiology (ECR) and of
Cardiovascular and Interventional Radiological Society of Europe (CIRSE).
Interventional Systems' CEO, Michael Vogele, says, "Micromate
has a small footprint and is simple, cost-effective and scalable. By
combining the benefits of live imaging and the mechanical stability and
precision of robotics, we want to make targeting easier, faster, more
repeatable and more accurate." These capabilities differentiates the
system from other robotic solutions currently on the market.
"We are strong believers in live imaging", Michael Vogele continues, "and Micromate™
is the only available robotic platform that can be used inside the
gantry, while addressing constraints related to practicality and cost.
Its seamless integration into the clinical workflow allows the surgeon
to execute and control the clinical tasks while being certain that a
safe and reliable trajectory is maintained by the platform."
Striving for excellence in the regulatory and operational aspect, Micromate™
has been developed in compliance with the new European Medical Device
Regulation and production has been scaled-up to 100 units per year.
"This is the only way to fulfil our mission of making robotics the
standard, not the exception."
Micromate™ is indicated
for any image-guided procedure that involves placing or manipulating
instruments, based on acquired radiology or real time images with, or
without, optical navigation. The alignment can be performed manually,
using a joystick, or automatically to a pre-defined surgical plan. With a
truly universal end-effector and needle and tool-guide, the core
platform can be used in multiple clinical disciplines, for guiding
instruments with different geometries without the need for customization
or restriction of the surgeon's practice.
The system's
modularity will enable further technological extensions, for usage of
robotics with other imaging modalities, such as ultrasound and MRI, and
disruptive surgical applications, both of which are in the company's
immediate-term product pipeline."
