Stereotaxis Announces Global Initial Training Site at University of Chicago

December 30, 2010 By Bio-Medicine.Org

ST. LOUIS, Dec. 30, 2010 /PRNewswire/ — Stereotaxis, Inc.
(Nasdaq:
STXS
) announced today that starting in 2011, Stereotaxis will
utilize the Remote Magnetic Navigation System in the
electrophysiology (EP) lab at the University of Chicago Medical
Center to train clinicians planning to install Stereotaxis at their
own centers.

With adoption of Stereotaxis’ Remote Magnetic Navigation System
growing steadily, there is significant new demand for training with
the system from clinicians worldwide. The Heart Rhythm Center at
the University of Chicago (UCMC) is a world-leader in the care of
patients with irregular heartbeats.

“The Heart Rhythm Center at the University of Chicago is one of
the busiest university-based interventional programs in the greater
Chicago area, providing the latest in diagnostic and treatment
modalities,” said Dr. Martin Burke, Acting Chief of Cardiology.
“With Stereotaxis, we have the ability to care for people with the
most complex irregular heartbeats.”

This arrangement between UCMC and Stereotaxis creates a unique
opportunity for electrophysiologists and other interventionalists
who need training in magnetic navigation. UCMC will dedicate its
Stereotaxis lab for training with phantom models for discrete
periods, giving the Stereotaxis Clinical Training Directors the
ability to provide guidance free from the distractions that are
common when clinicians engage in training in their own
facilities.

“Our experience shows that a well-trained EP clinical team
adopts magnetic navigation much more rapidly in the year following
the system’s installation,” said Michael P. Kaminski, President and
Chief Executive Officer of Stereotaxis. “So we are focused on
developing our clinical training programs as a key business
strategy. With our recently launched Odyssey Interventional
Network, the Global Initial Training Site demonstrates
Stereotaxis’
