Cath Lab Procedure

Cath Lab Procedure

Innovative world-class technology and clinical efficiency

As the patient undergoes the cath procedure itself, the technological preeminence of Mac-Lab IT, powered by Centricity Cardiology, comes into full play.

  • Powerful programmable macros transform multiple steps into a simple one-key manipulation and let you pre-program protocols for entire procedures.
  • Configurable electronic documentation enables you to complete documentation the way you work without compromising your productivity. The gathered information can further be used to participate in the ACC and STS Registries.
  • The dedicated, real-time, modular TRAM® acquisition unit can be configured to acquire 12-lead ECG, ST-segment analysis, respiration rate, temperature, TDCO, SpO2 pleth waveform, NBP and up to four invasive pressures – all with GE’s gold-standard algorithms.
  • Long-term full disclosure and emergency save features ensure that important information is not lost.
  • Previously saved data can be reanalyzed to measure pressures, adjust scales, or perform valve and peak-to-peak gradient analyses, for example.
  • Advanced pediatric features and optional PedCath 7© interface equip you with leading-edge pediatric capabilities.
  • The bi-directional interface with GE X-ray forwards ADT information and receives data such as dose, angulation and number of cycles from X-Ray systems. With the image-capture module, you can review and take snapshots of the fluoroscopic image.
  • Simultaneous note-charting on the Mac-Lab IT Nursing Notes Workstation allows nurses to join a study in progress in real-time and begin entering documentation into the event log for greater workflow efficiency – all without interrupting the monitoring nurse in the control room.
  • The acquisition system is equipped with a redundant hard drive to back up settings and the entire clinical database, eliminating the need for reconfiguring when one of the hard drives fails.
