ACUSON AcuNav Volume ICE Catheter
Changing your view of structural heart procedures
AcuNav Volume ICE Catheter is a therapy-enabling imaging guide that provides real-time, wide-angle visualization of heart anatomy during Structural Heart and Electrophysiology procedures.
Features & Benefits
What challenges are experienced with structural heart disease procedures?
Due to tremendous growth of the world population over age 651 the number of structural heart disease (SHD) procedures is rapidly expanding. To serve this population of patients better and faster, advanced imaging tools to increase procedural efficiency are required.

Testimonials
AcuNav Volume ICE enables imaging guidance for patients contraindicated for TEE鈥
鈥鈥淚n patients with relative or absolute contraindication to TEE, the 4D Volume ICE catheter allows for alternative imaging guidance that was not previously available. This technology enables us to treat such patients and thereby helps to improve their quality of life.鈥

AcuNav Volume ICE allows to reliably assess 鈥
the PASS criteria during LAAC procedures鈥
鈥鈥淭he 4D Volume ICE is a novel alternative imaging modality for LAA occlusion especially in patients unsuitable for transesophageal echo or general anesthesia. It allows clear real-time 3D/4D visualization and placement of left atrial appendage occlusion device. The Multiplanar Reconstruction functionality allows to reliably assess the PASS criteria necessary to safely implant the Watchman device6.鈥
