Toshiba’s New Electrophysiology Package

Toshiba America Medical Systems, Inc. is launching an InfinixTM-i cardiovascular X-ray system tailored for electrophysiology procedures with a new package of features, accessories and technologies. 

- System Design: Infinix-i’s C-arm movement provides complete patient coverage while creating an access halo (180 degrees of unobstructed head-end access) around the head end of the table.

- Safer Exams: Exclusive Spot Fluoroscopy technology optimises the administration of radiation dose by enabling a custom sized “spot” of live fluoroscopy overlaid with the Last Image Hold (LIH) to expand visualisation while better managing radiation exposure. Patented Super Noise Reduction Filter (SNRF) technology provides superior fluoroscopic image quality with fewer X-rays.

- Tableside Accessory Rails: Adds sliding (length-extending) tableside accessory rails to expand or retract the rail length to attach common accessories.

- Ceiling-Mounted Equipment Boom: Optimises placement and organisation of critical equipment off the floor to improve room organisation and increase staff efficiency.

- SurgicalLamp: Provides efficient luminance for implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD) and pacemaker insertions and is installed on an extended ceiling arm to reach both sides of the patient.

“The EP package complements the Infinix-i’s abilities to help clinicians move better, see better and work better, while providing them the tools needed to optimise workflow and workspace,” said Shuzo Yamamoto, senior vice president, Toshiba.

Toshiba will introduce its EP package at the Heart Rhythm Society’s (HRS) annual meeting in Denver, May 8–11, 2013.
