EM guidance device for a device enabled for endovascular navigation placement including a remote operator capability and EM endoluminal imaging technique

1. A system for accurate positioning of a device enabled for endovascular navigation, comprising:

one of a catheter or guidewire or combination for navigating through a patient's vasculature, comprising an electromagnetic (EM) based tracking component at or near the leading end of the device;

an EM positioning field generator configured on a reference gantry;

a computer and display configured to output position information of the leading end of one of a guidewire or a catheter or a combination thereof; and

a servomotor delivery system actuator, mechanically coupled to the one of a guidewire or catheter or combination thereof, and configured for controlling the position the guidewire or catheter or combination thereof; and

wherein: the servomotor delivery system actuator, the mechanical coupling to the guidewire or catheter, or combination thereof, is sealed within a sterile enclosure; and wherein the entire guidewire or catheter or combination thereof is housed within the sterile enclosure.

2. The system for accurate positioning of a device enabled for endovascular navigation of claim 1 , wherein the device comprises a peripherally inserted central venous catheter (PICC).

3. The accurate PICC positioning system of claim 2 , wherein the one of a catheter or guidewire or combination comprises a guidewire comprising an EM tracker tip with having an angled guidewire tip.

4. The accurate positioning system of claim 3 wherein the EM positioning field generator configured on a reference gantry is configured to identify and localize anatomic landmarks.

5. The accurate positioning system of claim 1 , wherein the one of a catheter or guidewire or combination comprises a guidewire-catheter system having an integrated tip sensor coil engineered between the catheter and the guidewire such that inductor windings are located within the catheter; and a magnetically susceptible and magnetic field focusing ferrite core is disposed within the guidewire.

6. The accurate positioning system of claim 1 , wherein the servomotor has a remote operation interface, configured to receive and carry out commands from a remote location, to manipulate the guidewire and catheter.

7. The accurate PICC positioning system of claim 1 , wherein the EM tracking component comprises a sensor coil integrated into the tip of a PICC, comprising:

a power injectable hemostatic connector hub for contrast administration through the PICC.

8. The accurate positioning system of claim 1 , wherein the system is configured to record anatomy shape data, during placement of the catheter.

9. The accurate positioning system of claim 1 , further comprising an intravenous catheter-adapted remote sensor.

10. The accurate positioning system of claim 1 wherein the EM positioning field generator configured on a reference gantry is configured to identify and localize anatomic landmarks.

11. The accurate positioning system of claim 10 wherein the reference gantry further comprises a wand that can be used to indicate surface anatomic landmarks useful for guidance and creation of an individualized and procedurally unique anthropomorphic model.

12. The accurate positioning system of claim 10 wherein the EM tracking component comprises a sensor coil integrated into the tip of a PICC.

13. The accurate positioning system of claim 1 comprising an electromagnetic tracker transceiver disposed in a tip of the guidewire.
