The benefits of Robotic Magnetic Navigation (RMN) have been validated by >100 leading hospitals globally treating >100,000 patients. The improvements in outcomes have been demonstrated with scientific rigor in hundreds of scientific publications.
Avoid Complications
Studies have found 72% fewer major complications when using RMN vs manual catheters1
Clinical data suggests a 71% reduction in cardiac perforations during robotic ablation procedures1
Treat Complex Arrhythmias
Robotics enables physicians to treat complex arrhythmias that are difficult or may be impossible to treat otherwise.

This data is illustrative of potential benefits of a Robotic EP practice but no such benefit is guaranteed and clinical experience may vary widely. Clinical data is available on file at Stereotaxis or at www.RoboticEP.com/Clinical-Data. Cardiac perforation rates reflect data from known published controlled studies of Stereotaxis technology (3,265 patients in total). Other major adverse events reflects average complication rates from all published head-to-head studies (4,675 patients in total) minus perforation rates. Data updated 2020.

Discuss your institution’s ROI for building a Robotic EP program.
RMN allows physicians to treat complex arrhythmias and certain patients that would otherwise not be good candidates for a cardiac ablation or cannot be treated with manual catheters.
By Attracting More Patients
Adopting cutting-edge robotic technology allows for competitive differentiation and showcasing of your clinical and technological leadership in the community. Stereotaxis is committed to supporting Robotic EP practices in attracting and educating patients and referral physicians.
A single adverse event can cause significant direct and indirect expenses: treatment costs, extended hospital stays, increased insurance and legal expenses, reputational damage, and more. A robust body of evidence demonstrates RMN can reduce adverse events.1
For Physicians and Staff
Operating rooms expose your team to workplace hazards that increase the risk of cancer and orthopedic injury3,4,5. Injuries and missed work days can increase operating costs, lead to missed revenue opportunities, increase insurance and legal expenses, and cause treatment delays for patients. With RMN, physicians perform procedures seated without lead and protected from radiation.
RMN procedures are often performed by a single physician with less support required. This differs from manual procedures where the physician is scrubbed in and requires skilled technicians or secondary physicians to manage mapping and ECG systems. Freeing up your staff can increase revenue opportunities and reduce operating costs.
Through Faster Procedures
Studies have shown that complex procedures can be performed faster with RMN. A large 779 patient meta-analysis showed a statistically significant reduction of 26 minutes for VT procedures using RMN6. Some RMN users have performed up to 6 ablations in a day using the system.
The cost to establish a Robotic EP program has been significantly reduced with recent innovations. By offering a fully integrated robotic lab including fluoroscopy, a Robotic EP lab can be established at a price similar to a high-end biplane x-ray alone.
Of Each Procedure
The cost of a robotic disposable used in each procedure is often more than counteracted by savings from the reduced use of other disposables such as expensive sheaths, diagnostic catheters or other disposables. While the use of disposable products in ablation procedures varies, we can help you identify ways to reduce disposable costs without compromising patient care.

Showcase your clinical and technological leadership
Based on an average reimbursement level of $34,834 determined using 2020 national-average Medicare reimbursement rate of $23,223 (DRG code 273) and assumed national-average private payor rate of $46,446. Patient volume modeled as 50% Medicare and 50% private payor. Assumed premium of 100% for private payors supported by various literature:
