R-ONE® Robotically-Enhanced PCI Intervention Study

"The interventional cardiologist sits at the cockpit and remotely performs the PCI using the console joysticks. The cassette, which is loaded with the interventional devices and connected to the guiding catheters, imposes axial and rotational forces on the intracoronary devices. Fluoroscopic, electrocardiographic, and hemodynamic images are slaved to the duplicate monitors inside the cockpit, enabling visualization from a closer distance. After completion of diagnostic angiography, the guiding catheter was positioned at the ostium of the coronary artery and connected to the disposable cassette on the robotic drive. The guidewire was loaded into the cassette. Treatment was administrated according to local site protocols. Pre and post dilation was done per operator discretion. All intracoronary devices were to be manipulated exclusively by the robotic system, with bailout to manual conversion when needed."
