Outfitted with the new real-time link, the Allura Xper FD 10 and 10/10 cardiovascular X-ray systems help interventional cardiologists better control and manage procedures by providing important functions, such as StentBoost and Allura 3D-CA, at their fingertips.

Enhancing clinicians’ ability to diagnose and treat heart disease and enable more precise placement of interventional devices such as stents, balloons and filters, the Innova 2100IQ was unveiled at the Transcatheter Cardiovascular Therapeutics annual meeting in Washington, DC.

Focused for CRT applications, the 4D LV-Analysis software is a new diagnostic tool to address problems and to help clinicians to quantify left ventricular dyssynchrony and identify responders reliably. Newly established dyssynchrony (SDI) cut-off values now allow better patient selection as well as the identification of patients who are currently not considered for CRT but may also benefit.

Designed using the Voice of the Customer feedback program, which utilizes clinician feedback to guide future product development, the five-axis Infinix CF-i/SP (single plane) diagnostic and interventional imaging system delivers unprecedented head-to-toe and fingertip-to-fingertip patient access. The floor-mounted Infinix CF-i/SP’s five-axis design permits easy shifting of the C-arm around the exam table for optimal angling.

The Encompass III, the latest in a series of three releases from Siemens Medical Solutions, enhances the ergonomics and workflow features offered on both the Encompass I and II releases for the Sequoia platform. Offering physicians clinical application solutions and workflow features, the Encompass III includes a new means to assess the heart's contraction mechanics using ultrasound information called Axius Velocity Vector Imaging (VVI).

Combining a closed waste disposal basin and temporary sharps holder in one convenient safety product, the BackStop helps protect healthcare workers from exposure to blood-borne pathogens and needle-related injuries.
Features include: large durable basin that accommodates 500 ml of fluid waste and prevents spilling of liquid waste; particulate-free, die-cut sponge that provides easy bin access of a syringe while maintaining a closed environment; double-sided adhesive patch that promotes stability during use; and more.

Guidant Corp.’s VITALITY HE implantable cardioverter defibrillator combines the small, physiologic profile and exceptional longevity with the capacity to deliver more energy to defibrillate the patient. It also provides excellent diagnostics and fast charge times.

An implantable device designed to prevent strokes and serious complications from common cardiac procedures received positive results in a preclinical study on sheep that measured safety and performance.

The Cardioblate LP Surgical Ablation System offers surgeons additional flexibility and precision in creating lesions, including full or modified Maze III procedures.

Combining all of the features of the ACIST CMS and Voyager systems onto one platform, the ACIST CVi Contrast Delivery System for cardiovascular angiographic procedures was highlighted at the Transcatheter Cardiovascular Therapeutics (TCT) symposium.
The system is expected to be commercially available in the first quarter of 2006 or before.
