The CARTO XP EP Navigation System was the world’s first 3-D electroanatomical navigation system. It provides unprecedented views into the electrical activity of the heart through real-time data on 3-D, color-coded cardiac maps. It also ensures precise real-time tracking of catheter location, allowing for safe and accurate diagnosis.

The CARTOMERGE Image Integration Software Module combines the accuracy of the CARTO XP EP Navigation System with the precision of pre-acquired 3-D CT or MRI images. DICOM 3 images can be imported from scanners, easily processed by the software to show only the chamber of interest, and then merged with electroanatomical data from the CARTO XP EP System.

The CARTO RMT System combines the accuracy and precision of our industry-standard 3-D mapping and navigation systems with the Stereotaxis Niobe^® magnetic steering technology. The CARTO RMT System tracks the location of the catheter in real time and sends this information back to the Niobe^® System, which controls catheter movement using magnetic fields to move a tiny magnet in the tip of the catheter.

The NAVISTAR RMT Ablation Catheter is designed to be used solely with the CARTO RMT System and the Niobe^® Magnetic Navigation System. This catheter combines the accurate 3-D maps, ablation targeting and temperature control of NAVISTAR technology with the magnetic catheter steering capability of Niobe^® technology.

The NAVISTAR RMT Navigation and Ablation Catheter works with the REFSTAR external reference patch placed in a fixed position on the patient's back. NAVISTAR RMT Catheters acquire data at mapping points within the heart and relay the data to the CARTO RMT Navigation System. This is accomplished by comparing its location relative to the REFSTAR External Reference Patch, which provides a stable mapping reference despite patient movement.

Biosense Webster’s navigation catheters are designed to work with the CARTO XP electroanatomical navigation system. Each of the catheter types has a location sensor embedded in the tip electrode, which enables real-time location of the catheter tip. Navigation catheters are used to acquire data at various mapping points within the heart and relay the data to the CARTO XP System. This is accomplished by comparing its location relative to the REFSTAR Catheter that is placed in a fixed position on the patient’s back.

Teamed with the CARTO XP System and QWIKMAP Software, QWIKSTAR Catheters let you create the equivalent of a 50-point map with just 8 to 10 points, producing a fast “global” snapshot of the chamber that can be continuously refined and updated as new points are acquired. The system lets you capture and map transient events using correct anatomy.
