6 Medical Device Makers Poised for Growth

You say that "HNSN has received FDA approval". That's true for mapping, but not true for anything else. The use of Sensei as a tool for cardiac ablation is "off label" and open to lawsuits.

Also your statement "Among the medical community, it is believed that the Sensei system is better, as well as being cheaper" is ambiguous. "Medical community". Look, the HRS 2008 starts in a few days. 90% of core abstracts revolve around the use of Remote Magnetical Navigation devices, which means Niobe, which means Stereotaxis. Is the Sensei better? Simple math doesn't say so.

Adverse effects with Stereotasis' Niobe represents less than 0.1% of 15,000 procedures.
Sensei gets something north of 6%. Is the Sensei better? I wouldn't undergo a procedure with Sensei even if well paid!
