Item 7.01. Regulation FD Disclosure.
On March 14 and 15, 2005 the first commercial procedures utilizing the Stereotaxis NIOBE system, the Celsius™ RMT Ablation catheter, the NaviStar™ RMT Mapping and Ablation Catheter, and the CARTO™ RMT Navigation and Ablation System were performed in Europe. These products, which recently received CE Marking Authorization, are the first to be commercialized pursuant to Stereotaxis’ strategic alliance with Biosense Webster, a Johnson & Johnson company.
