Overview

Empowering Critical Thinking 

The Innova* IGS 520 system offers a comprehensive suite of functionality customized for a wide range of EP procedures. With its 20.5 x 20.5 cm (8.1 in) square flat-panel digital detector, it offers excellent visualization of the heart and its chambers. The system is designed from the ground to provide the image clarity you need while helping you keep dose as low as possible. It includes features like Dose Personalization1, which gives you the tools to choose from up to five automatic exposure preferences for your system2. You can also modify3 any of these preferences in any clinical protocol to enable multi-procedure, multi-user customization and thus support well-informed decisions.
Innova IGS 520 features a 3.75 frames per second fluoroscopic acquisition mode optimized for EP procedures. Powered with advanced applications and integrated workflow, the system empowers you with capabilities to streamline procedural workflow and enhance your ability to perform complex procedures with confidence. 

Tools include: 

  • Innova EPVision, which provides live 3D guidance of devices with
    the overlay of 3D anatomy on the live fluoroscopic image 

  • CardioLab* integrated solution, which combines all the information
    you need at tableside: ECG gating, CARTOTM maps, and more.

Benefits

Excellent anatomical coverage
With its 20.5 x 20.5 cm (8.1 in) square flat-panel digital detector, Innova IGS 520 offers 38% greater coverage than 17.7 cm (7 in) square panels. It covers more anatomy, like the heart and its chambers, with fewer runs than smaller detectors, enabling efficient use of contrast and dose.

Superb image quality with high Detective Quantum Efficiency (DQE)
The proprietary angiography flat-panel detector offers one of the industry’s highest ratings for Detective Quantum Efficiency (DQE), a parameter internationally acknowledged as an index of detector performance in contrast- and dose-limited imaging performed in clinical studies. High DQE enables better-quality images at the same dose, or the same quality image at a lower dose.

Lower dose by design
GE designs systems from the ground up with the tried and trusted GE imaging chain, optimized to provide the image clarity you need while helping you keep dose as low as possible. Our dose-reduction features empower you to easily optimize and personalize dose settings from the tableside, while maintaining clinical details you need to make well-informed decisions. But improving dose management takes a strategy – what we call the GE Blueprint. It includes low-dose imaging technologies for minimally invasive procedures, but also considers the people, culture and processes around them.

Clinical Applications

Tools that empower

GE Healthcare offers a full suite of advanced applications designed to help improve your lab efficiency and enhance clinical confidence as you plan, guide and assess complex procedures. They work across a full range of interventional procedures yet are built to answer specific challenges. An example of brilliant innovation in electrophysiology is Innova EPVision that dynamically fuses 2D X-ray images with 3D models from rotational angiography, MR, or CT.

InnovaSpin

Visualize lesions and select the optimal angle in one injection
InnovaSpin* allows you to see the entire heart chamber and coronary anatomy with one cine run and one contrast injection, helping you save contrast and radiation exposure.
 




ECG acquisition

Acquisition and storage of ECG signals for cardiac gating
The ECG acquisition package provides acquisition and storage capabilities for ECG signals and displays the heart rate value on the console and live.

Innova 3D Cardiac

Add a new dimension to your confidence

Innova 3D Cardiac delivers quick acquisition and reconstruction of 3D cardiac anatomy in the cath lab for intuitive navigation during complex procedures. It helps you acquire and reconstruct a 3D model of the left atrium or aortic root, providing a reliable match to the patient’s anatomy and delivering the information you need to plan access for the most challenging cardiac interventions.

 

Innova EPVision 

Live 3D anatomy visualization for electrophysiology procedures
Innova EPVision dynamically fuses 2D X-ray images with 3D models (such as 3D cardiac models) from rotational angiography, MR, or CT. It supports localization and positioning of guidewires, ablation catheters, and other devices, including those not visualized by current 3D mapping technology, during electrophysiology procedures.

CardEP

Streamlined post-processing for enhanced electrophysiology procedures
CardEP* is an integrated post-processing image analysis software for the application of cardiovascular and electrophysiology imaging on the Advantage Workstation. It lets you process, display, reformat, and analyze 2D or 3D cardiac CT images for qualitative or quantitative assessment of heart anatomy and pulmonary veins from single or multiple cardiac-phase image data sets.

Procedures

EP catheter ablations

Cardiac ablation is an invasive procedure performed to correct heart arrhythmias such as atrial fibrillation. Ablation typically uses catheters – long, flexible tubes inserted through a vein in the groin and advanced to the heart to correct or scar the abnormal electrical circuits that are causing the arrhythmia. Ultimately, ablation prevents abnormal electrical signals from traveling through the heart and restores normal heart rhythm.

Plan

Plan your procedure with Innova Spin, which provides a dynamic fluoroscopic image of the atrium filled with contrast to help localize the abnormal tissue that is causing the arrhythmia.

Guide

Guide your procedure with Innova EPVision 2.0, an advanced roadmapping application that superimposes a pre-acquired 3D image over the live fluoroscopic image. Additionally, Innova EPVision 2.0 shows ablation points and 3D maps of the heart to further guide you throughout the procedure.

Assess

Assess the success of the procedure using CardioLab – it allows you to review ECG and intra-cardiac signals after the ablation procedure to ensure clinical success.

Structural EP procedures

Structural EP procedures are most commonly performed on patients who are at increased risk of blood clot formation in the heart due to atrial fibrillation. In many cases, blood clots form in the left atrial appendage. A clot that migrates outside the appendage may put the patient at increased risk of stroke. Closure or occlusion of the left atrial appendage can help prevent this migration and mitigate the increased stroke risk.

Plan

Assess

Plan your procedure on the Advantage Workstation using EP Xpress protocols. This advanced software allows you to take measurements from a pre-acquired Innova Spin, CTA or MRA. This helps enable accurate occlusion of the left atrial appendage using
a device or a lasso technique. Viewer,
based on Innova CT HD images, to segment and identify the exact vessels
to be embolized. 

Guide your procedure with Innova EPVision, an advanced roadmapping application that superimposes the pre-acquired 3D image
over the live fluoroscopic image, aiding
in the proper placement of the device.

Assess your procedure with fluoroscopy and Innova Spin allowing you to ensure proper placement of the device and ensure clinical success.
