St. Jude Medical, Inc. (NYSE:STJ), a global medical device
company, today announced the launch of the VantageView™ System in
the United States and Europe. The VantageView System is a
state-of-the-art, high-definition (HD) monitor that eliminates the
need for multiple monitors and enhances workflow by improving the
visualization of critical case information in the electrophysiology
(EP) lab.

Rapid technology advances have resulted in more equipment
requiring visual displays in the EP lab, which can potentially
hinder the flow of the procedure and make it challenging for
clinicians to view the right screen at the right time during a
case. The VantageView System was designed to consolidate the
display of information from multiple technologies into one
centralized location, displaying images from mapping systems,
recording systems, fluoroscopy and ultrasound, among others.
The system includes a 56 inch HD monitor that can display up to
eight video images simultaneously with four times the resolution
seen in standard 1080p consumer monitors. The VantageView System
offers exceptional image quality with greater detail than the
monitors typically used in EP labs today. In addition to enhanced
image quality, the VantageView System can be seamlessly integrated
with the EP lab’s multiple diagnostic and treatment systems,
allowing clinicians to customize screen displays and more easily
view and control patient and procedure information.
“For the treatment of cardiac arrhythmias, improving procedural
workflow is an important way to create efficiencies and manage the
cost of delivering care,” said Jane J. Song, president of the St.
Jude Medical Atrial Fibrillation Division. “By adding a large
screen to replace several smaller screens, the VantageView System
can better integrate labs and create those efficiencies.”
