About Ra Medical Systems

Ra Medical Systems’ wholly owned subsidiary, Catheter Precision, is an innovative medical device company bringing to market new solutions that improve the treatment of cardiac arrhythmias. It is developing groundbreaking technology for electrophysiology procedures by collaborating with physicians and continuously advancing its products.

Catheter Precision is pursuing three product areas. Its lead product, VIVO™ (an acronym for View Into Ventricular Onset), is an FDA-cleared and CE mark product that utilizes non-invasive inputs to locate the origin of ventricular arrhythmias. Through its use, physicians can identify patients for invasive catheter ablation, and with those patients, reduce the amount of time to complete the invasive procedure. Ventricular arrhythmias include ventricular tachyarrhythmias and premature ventricular arrhythmias, diseases that despite affecting millions of people are not well treated today. While much past growth in the electrophysiology market has been for the treatment of atrial fibrillation, Catheter Precision believes that ventricular arrhythmias represent a large growth opportunity.

Catheter Precision also intends to pursue a second generation of Amigo^®, a robotic arm previously cleared by the FDA and awarded the CE mark, which serves as a catheter control device that can be remotely controlled outside of the procedure room. Catheter Precision has demonstrated that patient outcomes may be enhanced with this device. Catheter Precision is working toward a third product release in the first half of 2023, which is a device to assist in the closure of the insertion site of a percutaneous catheter or other device. It is estimated that the worldwide market for this closure assist device exceeds one million procedures per year.
