The CorPath 200 System is intended for use in the remote delivery and manipulation of coronary guidewires and balloon/stent catheters during percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) procedures.

The CorPath 200 System is intended for use by physicians in the delivery and manipulation of coronary guidewires and balloon/stent catheters during percutaneous coronary intervention ("PCI") procedures. The CorPath 200 System allows the physician to deliver and manipulate guidewires and balloon/stent catheters through the coronary vasculature under angiography-assisted visual guidance using computer controlled movements while in a seated position and away from the radiation source. The CorPath 200 System is composed of two functional sub-units; the Bedside Unit and the Remote Workspace. The Bedside Unit consists of the Articulated Arm, the Robotic Drive and the single-use Cassette. The Remote Workspace consists of the Interventional Cockpit (radiation shield) which houses the Control Console, as well as angiographic monitor(s). Commercially available guidewires and balloon/stent catheters are loaded into the single-use Cassette. By using the joysticks or touch screen of the Control Console, the physician can send commands to the Robotic Drive via a communication cable that advances, retracts or rotates the guidewire, and/or advances or retracts the balloon/stent catheters. The CorPath 200 System's software continuously monitors the communication between the Control Console and the Robotic Drive and alerts the physician if any communication error occurs.
