KITZBUHEL, Austria, March 10, 2020, /PRNewswire=KYODO JBN/--

Interventional Systems (iSYS Medizintechnik GmbH, Austria) releases its new

robotic platform, Micromate(TM) 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(TM) 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(TM) 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(TM)

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(TM)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.

New Standards in Patient Stabilization

Precise robotic interventions require an optimal stabilization of the patient

during the procedure. The Interventional Systems' iFIX product line ensures

that sub-millimetric accuracies are achieved, while maintaining setup

flexibility and patient comfort. Looking forward towards interventional and

surgical applications, the iFIX Spider Fleece will be launched together with

the Micromate(TM) robotic platform.

It enables differential stabilization of different body parts and access to the

sterile area without constraints on and compromises to the positioning.

iFIX is currently available for patient stabilization during diagnostic imaging

procedures, in order to reduce blurry images caused by motion artifacts.

The disposable fleece products and cleanable anchor products allow a high

hygienic standard for head to toe immobilization.

See https://www.interventional-systems.com/global/products/ifix/ for more

detailed information on how iFIX is applied in clinical routine.
