Interventional Systems Launches Its New Robotic Platform: Micromate(TM)

Kitzbühel, Austria (ots/PRNewswire) - Robotic trajectory guidance platform
supports the execution of complex surgical plans and accurate guidance

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.
