 ViewMate®
Intracardiac Ultrasound: Increasing Diagnostic Confidence at a Reasonable Cost
The ViewMate® intracardiac ultrasound catheter system consists of an advanced ultrasound imaging console with an image monitor and a small disposable catheter fitted with a transducer on its tip. The system software automates many ultrasound functions to deliver optimal images with minimal user interface, allowing the clinician to concentrate more fully on the patient and the examination. The ViewMate® system gives clinical guidance that optimizes the clinical experience and may shorten total exam time by providing guidance for complex procedures. The system allows electrophysiologists and cardiologists to optimally view the anatomy of the heart, allowing these clinicians to identify, diagnose and treat a number of cardiac abnormalities and conditions.
The ViewMate® has been designed to meet the specific needs of Electrophysiologists and Interventional Cardiologists
- High resolution views of intracardiac structures from within the heart
- User friendly and intuitive on-screen menus and displays
- System parameters may be saved as pre-sets
- Low equipment acquisition costs
- Affordable one-piece ViewFlex™ ultrasound catheter
- Digital image and file storage
- High Quality Ultrasound Images
Physicians have found the ViewMate® with ViewFlex™ catheter to be valuable in visualizing intracardiac structures and other intracardiac devices during procedures such as:
- Transseptal Catheterization
- Pulmonary Vein Isolation
- Complex Arrhythmia Ablation
- Septal Defect closure
- Cardiac Dyssynchrony Assessment & Therapy

Flexing the Catheter |
 |
Neutral Position
Neutral position is obtained by aligning the white line on the catheter knob. |
 |
Flexed Position
Flexed position is obtained by turning the catheter knob clockwise. |
 |
Retro-flex Position
Retro-flexed position is obtained by turning the catheter knob counter clockwise. |

Modes of Operation
ViewMate® provides the following four imaging modes:
Basic Mode: used for observing anatomy and establishing areas of interest.
Spectral Doppler Mode: graphs direction and velocity of blood flow within the selected region of the B-Mode image.
M-Mode: used to display a graphic representation of relative tissue position and reflectivity along a line of interest within the B-Mode display as a function of time
Color Flow Mapping (CFM) Mode: the CFM window is a color Doppler which calculates blood flow velocity and direction.
The ViewMate® system is indicated for use in adult and adolescent pediatric patients to visualize cardiac structures and blood flow within the heart. Refer to the catheter instructions for use and the System instruction manual for complete instructions, indications for use, and contraindications.
CAUTION: FEDERAL LAW (USA) RESTRICTS THIS DEVICE TO SALE BY OR ON THE ORDER OF A PHYSICIAN.
