About Stereotaxis
Stereotaxis designs, manufactures and markets an advanced
cardiology instrument control system for use in a hospital’s
interventional surgical suite to enhance the treatment of coronary
artery disease and arrhythmias. The Niobe® Remote Magnetic
Navigation System is designed to enable physicians to complete more
complex interventional procedures by providing image guided
delivery of catheters and guidewires through the blood vessels and
chambers of the heart to treatment sites. This is achieved using
computer-controlled, externally applied magnetic fields that govern
the motion of the working tip of the catheter or guidewire,
resulting in improved navigation, shorter procedure time and
reduced x-ray exposure.

innovative enterprise solution for integrating, recording and
networking interventional lab information within hospitals and
