GE HealthCare Releases AltiX AI.i for Cath Lab & EP Procedures

GE HealthCare has launched the AltiX Ai.i edition of Mac-Lab, CardioLab, and ComboLab. These AltiX AI.i editions were designed to elevate workflow in the cardiac catheterization lab and support the most complex electrophysiology (EP) procedures.

The latest additions tout new features that can streamline workflow and enhance operability while retaining strong cybersecurity standards, according to the company.

Mac-Lab for cardiac catheterization

The AltiX AI.i edition of Mac-Lab recording system integrates the diastolic pressure ratio (dPR) algorithm for users to easily perform the measurement, building on its ability to capture diastolic hyperemia-free ratio (DFR) measurements. These are uses to assess coronary artery disease severity.

Mac-Lab features optional Cath Lab Command Center access with a large display, advanced video and layouts, and custom documentation tools.

CardioLab for EP procedures

The AltiX AI.i edition of CardioLab touts better signal quality for visualization of physiological signals thanks to the Prucka 3 digital amplifier. Prucka 3 reduces environmental noise, keeps high signal fidelity, and offers new signal-filtering capabilities.

The latest edition highlights GE HealthCare’s collaboration with Volta Medical, the Volta interface. This uses PruckaStream to share real-time data, informing its Volta-AF decision support system. The feature provides real-time assessments using artificial intelligence (AI) to automatically assess areas suspected to begin or maintain atrial fibrillation drivers.

ComboLab for a comprehensive solution

ComboLab combines EP and hemodynamic recording into one system. It merges Mac-Lab and CardioLab for a comprehensive tool to manage various cardiac procedures in one location.

The company said its familiar interface and workflow ease the learning curve, and the capability to document and export diagnostic data helps capture more info at the point of care.

“The introduction of AltiX AI.i reinforces our commitment to advancing cardiac care. These improved solutions are designed to enhance diagnostic and therapeutic capabilities, which are crucial for diagnosing and treating various heart conditions,” said Arnaud Marie, General Manager, Interventional Solutions, GE HealthCare. “This launch is an important step in our ongoing mission to equip healthcare providers with interventional solutions that evolve alongside their needs.”

“AltiX AI.i is built on more than two decades of experience, leadership and innovation in invasive cardiology to enhance cath labs and EP procedures and empower clinicians to deliver the best possible outcomes,” said Jyoti Gera, CEO, CardioVascular & Interventional Solutions, GE HealthCare. “By automating routine tasks and streamlining workflow, AltiX AI.i allows clinicians to focus on what truly matters—providing exceptional patient care.”
