Tackling the Unmet Clinical Need
Our Technology
- Advanced Diagnostic Solution: The iKOr™ microcatheter system enables cardiologists to accurately diagnose complex heart conditions.
- Simple and Intuitive: Easy to use with minimal training, ensuring rapid adoption and efficient operation.
- Designed for the Cath Lab: Seamlessly integrates into existing cath lab workflows, enhancing efficiency without disrupting routine procedures.
- Complete Physiological Profile: Provides a comprehensive physiological profile to guide precise clinical decisions.
- Data-Driven Care: Empowers cardiologists with real-time, actionable data to direct patients to the most appropriate therapy.
Clinical Evidence
- Superior Accuracy and Precision: Current CFR measurement methods (e.g., bolus/thermodilution) have 30% variability and poor reproducibility.
- iKOr™ system demonstrates superior accuracy in preclinical testing, potentially offering significantly more reliable diagnostics.
- Enhanced Diagnostic Efficiency: Rapid-Exchange Microcatheter design allows use with a workhorse guidewire, reducing procedural time and complexity.
- Enables quick, sequential readings before and after interventions without removing and reinserting guidewires.
Comprehensive Physiological Profile:
- Measures CFR, IMR, diastolic flow indices, and continuous relative flow and resistance data, providing a complete coronary physiology assessment.
- This robust dataset allows for better differentiation of ANOCA etiologies such as microvascular dysfunction and coronary spasm.
Guiding Better Treatment Decisions with Patient Impact:
- Data from studies like CorMicA and ChaMP-CMD show that accurate stratification using advanced metrics improves patient outcomes by guiding more targeted therapies. Heart disease affects women differently, often leading to misdiagnosis or delayed treatment. The iKOr™ system closes this gap by providing a complete coronary physiology profile, allowing cardiologists to accurately identify complex conditions like ANOCA. This means fewer unnecessary procedures, faster diagnosis, and personalized therapy plans that truly address the underlying cause of symptoms.
Addressing gender bias
- Closing the Gender Gap in Heart Health: Women are more likely to be underdiagnosed in cardiovascular disease due to atypical symptoms and lack of tailored diagnostic tools. This contributes to inequities and poorer outcomes.
- Improving Equity with Better Data: The iKor™ microcatheter system provides comprehensive physiological insights, helping clinicians make more accurate, personalised treatment decisions and improve care for women.
