InfiMed launches 3 cardiac systems

InfiMed Inc. this week added three new products to its cardiology platform: the PlatinumOne Cardiac, PlatinumOne Combo and PlatinumOne EP systems.

The PlatinumOne Cardiac, a premium, in-room digital acquisition system for complex interventional procedures, offers image processing tools, expanded DICOM 3.0 interface, and enhanced image quality using InfiMed's newly designed CCD camera system.

The PlatinumOne Combo system adds real-time digital subtraction for interventional vascular procedures as well as full cardiac functionality.

The PlatinumOne EP system is designed to provide advanced imaging features and low-dose pulsed fluoroscopic acquisition required for complex electrophysiology procedures.

InfiMed says that clinical trials of the cardiac and combo systems were performed at Bay Area Heart Center in St. Petersburg, Fla., and Scripps Green Hospital in San Diego, Calif.

The nuclear imaging isotope shortage of molybdenum-99 may be over now that the sidelined reactor is restarting. ASNC's president says PET and new SPECT technologies helped cardiac imaging labs better weather the storm.

CMS has more than doubled the CCTA payment rate from $175 to $357.13. The move, expected to have a significant impact on the utilization of cardiac CT, received immediate praise from imaging specialists.

The newly cleared offering, AutoChamber, was designed with opportunistic screening in mind. It can evaluate many different kinds of CT images, including those originally gathered to screen patients for lung cancer.
