Carticept Medical has received FDA clearance for its Navigator Delivery System (Navigator DS). The Navigator DS automates some of the steps involved in preparing and delivering intra-articular pain medication for joint pain. Standard multi-dose anesthetic and steroid drug vials are attached to the top of the device, after which the system prepares the physician-prescribed injections.
The screen provides the user with a real-time record of the specified fluid/medication, prescription volume and an image of the syringe displaying the delivery status. The system eliminates multiple needle exposures, minimizes the risk of contamination of the medication and ensures accurate dosing. Delivery data is recorded electronically and is available via USB port for input into an EMR, or can be printed.
