St. Jude Medical Announces FDA Approval of EnSite Velocity Cardiac Mapping System

Press releases may be edited for formatting or style | September 18, 2009

The EnSite Velocity System is used in minimally invasive electrophysiology procedures. Catheters with electrodes are inserted into a cardiac chamber; these electrodes are then located or visualized by the system, which records electrical information from the heart and displays it in a three-dimensional anatomical model. These highly detailed anatomical models, or maps, enable physicians to diagnose and guide therapy for abnormal heart rhythms. Like previous models of the EnSite System, the EnSite Velocity System allows catheter navigation to occur with reduced fluoroscopy, thus reducing potential for risks associated with excessive exposure to X-rays.

"St. Jude Medical has been dedicated to finding a cure for AF for more than 15 years," said Jane J. Song, president of the St. Jude Medical Atrial Fibrillation Division. "As the next generation in cardiac navigation and visualization technology, the EnSite Velocity System is another demonstration of our company's commitment to continuous innovation in meeting the needs of electrophysiologists."
