Acutus Medical said today that it agreed to acquire Rhythm Xience for an undisclosed amount and inked deals with a trio of new partners.
Eden Prairie, Minn.-based Rhythm Xience makes a line of transseptal crossing and steerable introducer systems including the Flextra, Guider and Lancer devices, which are all 510(k)-cleared by the FDA.
“At Acutus, we are challenging the status quo by building a suite of next generation products on an open platform that improves EP lab efficiency and effectiveness,” CEO CEO Vince Burgess said in prepared remarks. “Our dynamic business model addresses the entire patient care continuum and is elevating electrophysiology. We are positioned to become the only focused arrhythmia care company with a complete suite of solutions that electrophysiologists need to diagnose, treat and follow patients with atrial arrhythmias.”
Carlsbad, Calif.-based Acutus said it also inked a deal with Peerbridge Health to offer its Peerbridge Cor ambulatory ECG and another with Cardiac Designs to offer longer-term remote monitoring with the Acutus QCheck handheld ECG and mobile app. And the company agreed to distribute MedFact‘s RF ablation catheter, which is used with the robotic navigation system made by Stereotaxis (NSDQ:STXS).
