The VIVO™ system, a non-invasive 3D imaging technology, is used in pre-procedure planning for ventricular ablations, and has been adopted by numerous hospitals for its effectiveness in identifying the earliest electrical activation of ventricular arrhythmias.
One of the company's recent achievements includes the completion of 100 ventricular ablation procedures at the Heart Hospital of New Mexico at Lovelace Medical Center. This milestone highlights the growing recognition of VIVO's benefits in streamlining complex medical procedures.

The company has filed for CE Mark for its LockeT device, a suture retention product intended to assist in hemostasis after percutaneous venous punctures. Expected within the third quarter of 2023, this CE Mark will open new markets in Europe and beyond.
Amidst these developments, Ra Medical is preparing for a corporate name change to Catheter Precision, Inc., effective August 17, 2023, with a new ticker symbol VTAK. This change marks a strategic shift focusing solely on cardiac electrophysiology, away from its previous laser catheter business.
