Intended Use
The CorPath GRX is intended for use in the remote delivery and manipulation of guidewires and rapid exchange balloon/ stent catheters, and remote manipulation of guide catheters during percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) procedures.
Device Story
Robotic system for remote PCI; enables physician to manipulate guidewires, balloon/stent catheters, and guide catheters from a shielded cockpit. System consists of a bedside unit (articulated arm, robotic drive, single-use cassette) and a remote workspace (control console, monitors, foot pedal). Physician uses joysticks and touchscreens to control robotic drive; system provides linear and rotational movement of interventional devices. Operates under independent angiographic fluoroscopy. Used in cath labs; allows physician to remain seated away from radiation source, reducing occupational radiation exposure. Output is physical movement of catheters/wires; assists in precise device placement during coronary interventions.
Clinical Evidence
Bench testing included performance, functional, guide catheter particulate analysis, simulated procedure testing, biocompatibility, software V&V, and EMC testing. Pre-clinical in-vivo porcine study conducted with 8 pigs treated via CorPath GRX and 4 pigs treated manually (control) for PCI (balloon angioplasty and stent deployment) in the mid-LAD artery to verify safety.
Technological Characteristics
System comprises a bedside unit (articulated arm, robotic drive, single-use cassette) and a remote workspace (control console, monitors). Cassette materials include custom plastic parts, machined stainless steel, miniature magnets, roller bearings, and springs. Connectivity via communication cable between robotic drive and control console. Operates under fluoroscopic guidance.
Indications for Use
Indicated for patients undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) procedures requiring the remote delivery and manipulation of guidewires, rapid exchange balloon/stent catheters, and guide catheters.
Regulatory Classification
Identification
A steerable catheter control system is a device that is connected to the proximal end of a steerable guide wire that controls the motion of the steerable catheter.

The CorPath GRX System is intended to allow physicians to deliver and manipulate commercially available coronary guidewires, balloon/stent catheters, and guide catheters during percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) procedures. During the use of the CorPath GRX System, the physician maneuvers interventional devices using intuitive controls under independent angiographic fluoroscopy.
The CorPath GRX System is composed of the following two functional sub-units:
- 1. Bedside Unit: Which consists of the Articulated Arm, Robotic Drive and Single-use Cassette, and the
- 2. Remote Workspace: Which consists of the Interventional Cockpit (radiation shielded) which houses the Control Console, angiographic monitor(s), hemodynamic monitors and X-ray foot pedal.
Commercially available guidewires, rapid exchange balloon/stent catheters, and guide catheters are loaded into the Single Use Cassette. By using the joysticks or the Control Console touch screens the physician can control the Robotic Drive to advance, retract, and rotate the guide wire, advance and retract the balloon/stent catheter, and advance, retract and rotate the guide catheter. The Robotic Drive and Control Console communicate via a single communication cable.

# Bench Testing
Bench testing and in-vivo animal studies were performed to determine substantial equivalence. Specifically, the following bench tests were performed.
- Performance testing of the CorPath GRX System .
- Functional testing of the CorPath GRX System .
- Guide Catheter Particulate Analysis
- Simulated Procedure Testing ●
- Biocompatibility Testing of the Single-Use Cassette ●
- Software verification and validation testing ●
- EMC Testing of the CorPath GRX System
# Pre-Clinical Study
To further verify the safety of the CorPath GRX System, an in-vivo porcine study was conducted. Eight (8) pigs underwent PCI (balloon angioplasty and stent deployment) of the mid left anterior descending artery (LAD) performed using the CorPath GRX System and the results were compared to a four (4) pig control group which was treated manually.
# 8. Conclusion
Based on the testing conducted, it is concluded that the CorPath GRX System is substantially equivalent to the predicate CorPath 200 system (K150892 cleared October 2, 2015 and K120834 cleared July 19, 2012).
