Over 1,000 Cardiac Patients Treated with Genesis Robotic System
Stereotaxis (NYSE: STXS) announced that over 1,000 cardiac arrhythmia patients have been treated using the Genesis Robotic Magnetic Navigation (RMN) system since its introduction in late 2020. This advanced technology has been implemented at eight hospitals globally, including Banner University Medical Center and the National Institute of Cardiology in Poland. The Genesis RMN system enhances robotic precision and safety for cardiac ablation procedures, benefiting patients with complex cardiac diseases. With nearly two dozen robotic systems ordered, demand for the technology is growing. Stereotaxis continues to focus on providing innovative robotic solutions for minimally invasive interventions, having treated over 100,000 patients to date.

ST. LOUIS, April 13, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Stereotaxis (NYSE: STXS), a pioneer and global leader in surgical robotics for minimally invasive endovascular intervention, today announced that over 1,000 cardiac arrhythmia patients have been treated using the Genesis Robotic Magnetic Navigation (RMN) system.
Genesis RMN, the latest innovation in Stereotaxis’ robotic technology, was first used in late 2020 following regulatory clearances in the United States and Europe. Since then, physicians at eight global hospitals have treated over 1,000 patients using Genesis RMN. These hospitals include Helsinki University Central Hospital, Banner University Medical Center Phoenix, Princess Grace Hospital Center in Monaco, Missouri Baptist Medical Center, HonorHealth Scottsdale Shea Medical Center, Poland’s National Institute of Cardiology, Corewell Health Meijer Heart Center in Michigan, and Broward Health Medical Center in Fort Lauderdale. Additional hospitals are in the process of installing the technology with a total of nearly two dozen robotic systems ordered.
The Genesis RMN system introduces the benefits of robotic precision and safety to cardiac ablation, a common minimally invasive procedure to treat arrhythmias. Tens of millions of individuals worldwide suffer from arrhythmias – abnormal heart rhythms that result when the heart beats too quickly, too slowly, or with an irregular pattern. When left untreated, arrhythmias may significantly increase the risk of stroke, heart failure, and sudden cardiac arrest. Physicians have used Genesis RMN to treat a broad spectrum of arrhythmia patients, including the underserved community of patients with complex cardiac disease that cannot be treated well or at all without Stereotaxis’ robotic technology.
“We are pleased to celebrate the pioneering physicians and hospitals that demonstrated the clinical value of Genesis RMN for patients, physicians, and health systems through robust regular use,” said David Fischel, Chairman and CEO of Stereotaxis.
