How to Choose Catheterization Lab Equipment

A cardiac catheterization laboratory (cath lab) is a specialized procedural suite integrating a fluoroscopic C-arm with a flat-panel detector (FPD), a hemodynamic monitoring/recording system, a contrast media injector, a floating patient table, and PACS-connected imaging workstations — used for minimally invasive cardiovascular procedures including diagnostic coronary angiography, percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI), structural heart procedures (e.g., TAVI), and electrophysiology studies. Primary buyers are hospital cardiology service lines, academic medical centers, high-volume ambulatory surgery centers (ASCs), and community hospitals building or upgrading interventional cardiology programs. Procurement decisions are typically triggered by program launch, end-of-service-life on an existing system (typically 10–15 years), procedural volume growth, or clinical capability expansion into structural heart or biplane EP.
