Imricor Medical Systems, Inc. announced that it has entered into a Memorandum of Understanding with GE HealthCare. Under the terms of the MOU, GE HealthCare and Imricor intend to collaborate to interface Imricor's Advantage-MR EP Recorder/Stimulator and Northstar-MR 3D Mapping System with GE HealthCare MRI scanners. A successful collaboration will enable cardiac electrophysiology (EP) ablation procedures guided by real-time MRI, using Imricor's catheters and other disposable devices, to be performed on the GE HealthCare MRI platform.
The collaboration with GE HealthCare would expand Imricor's potential to interface with GE HealthCare's new and currently installed MRI scanners. Imricor's short-term goal is to allow sites with GE HealthCare MRI systems to participate in the upcoming Vision-MR Ablation of Atrial FLutter or VISABL-AFL clinical trial in the US and Vision-MR Ablation of Ventricular Tachycardia or VISABL-VT clinical trial in Europe. The Company's overall goal is to broaden in the choices physicians and hospitals have when choosing an MRI platform for their iCMR labs.
