• Track up to eight miniaturized 6 DOF sensors or
twenty-four 5 DOF sensors simultaneously.

• Localize in 3D without ionizing radiation.

• Guide flexible tools without line-of-sight restrictions.

• Overcome limitations of earlier generation medical trackers.

• Navigate catheters, probes, and scopes with low cost, disposable sensors.

• Electronics unit

• DC magnetic field transmitter

• 8 mm, 1.8 mm, and 1.3 mm sensors (outer diameters)

• Preamps

Ascension supports a full range of sensors for minimally invasive procedures. Its new 0.3 mm sensor, pictured at right, is the smallest magnetic sensor in the world. It was designed for vascular, urological and cardiac procedures.

Electronics unit with multiple interfaces to host medical computers.

Ascension sensors for intrabody navigation have been reduced in diameter to less than 0.5 mm.

Short-Range Transmitter 20-36 cm X 8-15 cm Y, Z coverage		Set-Up & Use: This small, lightweight transmitter is often mounted on an articulated arm that can be brought close to the sensors. Especially useful for high accuracy medical applications.
Mid-Range Transmitter 20-61cm X 15-30 cm Y, Z coverage		Set-Up & Use: Our mid-range transmitter is ideal for desktop applications in environments containing conductive metals.
Flat Transmitter “Metal-Immune” ±20 cm X, Y -10--46 cm Z coverage		Set-Up & Use: Our flat transmitter is unobtrusively placed beneath a patient to negate any possible distortion of measurements by ferrous metal in an OR or procedural table.
