Profile: St.Jude Medical, Inc. delivers implantable bradycardia, cardiac surgical, electrophysiology, implant cardiac monitors, repair, tachycardia, tissue valves, spinal cord stimulation, patient care network, mechanical valves, cardioverter defibrillators, pacemakers, electrophysiology catheters, vascular closure devices, heart valve replacement & repair products and neurostimulation devices. Cardiac catheterization is a common diagnostic test performed to evaluate the condition of the heart muscle, valves & vessels, which enables the physician to see how effectively the heart is pumping and to determine if there are any narrowed blood vessels. Our Epicor Cardiac Ablation System uses the control and precision of High Intensity Focused Ultrasound (HIFU) energy to replicate proven ablation lesion sets epicardially, without the need to place the patient on a heart-lung bypass machine. Our Epicor Ablation Control System ACS is designed for consistent, effective delivery of HIFU energy. It features an intuitive user interface, single-button control of ablation cycles, and convenient real-time monitoring and display of parameters such as power delivery and temperature. Three generators provide consistent three-phased ablative energy through all layers of tissue, without concerns for tissue depth or the need for fat dissection.
The company is ISO 9001, ISO 9002, CE certified. NYSE:STJ (SEC Filings)
