Stereotaxis Provides Corporate Update
St. Louis, MO, May 26, 2006 Stereotaxis, Inc. (NASDAQ: STXS) announced today that, following the recent Heart Rhythm Society (HRS) conference, where the Companys technology was highlighted in the first-ever transatlantic remote live atrial fibrillation case, successfully performed by Carlo Pappone, M.D., Ph.D., we have received a number of inquiries regarding our new product development plans and wish to elaborate on our intentions in this regard. Stereotaxis strategy for its cardiology platform is to introduce gradual and continual improvements over time in order to support higher selling prices and better margins. The Company is confident that by focusing on software automation and integration, in combination with a broader portfolio of partnered disposable devices, we will be able to achieve new standards of safety, efficiency and efficacy in cardiology, based on our current Niobe® platform. The interest generated at the HRS conference (as well as at the recent EuroPCR conference where two live interventional cases were successfully performed using the Stereotaxis system), and the significant number of resulting sales leads, have affirmed our outlook for the balance of the year.
About Stereotaxis
Stereotaxis designs, manufactures and markets an advanced cardiology instrument control system for use in a hospitals interventional surgical suite to enhance the treatment of coronary artery disease and arrhythmias. The Stereotaxis 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. The core components of the Stereotaxis system have received regulatory clearance in the U.S., Europe and Canada.
