And now, a state-of-the-art cardiovascular X-ray machine

MANILA, Philippines - True to its reputation of introducing the latest technologies to deliver world-class healthcare in the country, Asian Hospital and Medical Center introduces the Allura Xper FD20/10 cardiovascular X-ray system for complex procedures, designed to provide optimized cardiovascular intervention and enhanced cath lab experience.

The new machine is part of Asian Hospital and Medical Center’s continuing efforts to expand its facilities to provide better medical care to patients. According to Dr. Saturnino Javier, head of Cardiology-Interventional Section of Asian Hospital and Medical Center, the new machine is the latest acquisition for the hospital’s catheterization laboratory or cath lab, an examination room used to support the catheterization procedure for cardiovascular interventions.

“This new cardiovascular X-ray system is the most advanced cardiovascular X-ray system on the market today, providing the clearest possible view of cardiac and vascular interventions. It provides the right balance of superb image quality and low X-ray dose, proven to give highly effective results during lengthy procedures,” explains Dr. Javier.

Dr. Javier adds that the cardiovascular X-ray system boasts versatility in diagnostic imaging, providing crisp visualization of small details and objects for complex interventions. It also minimizes X-ray dose for cardiac, vascular, and pediatric examinations.

“These advanced features, particularly the specialized pediatric settings that reduce X-ray dose, allow cardiologists to get twice the information with a single contrast injection, which is the most critical factor for pediatric examinations,” he shares.

With this new machine, cardiologists can also personalize their settings and control all movements and interventional tools tableside to provide outstanding support for treating congenital heart disease and performing vascular examinations.

Dr. Saturnino Javier: Cardiologists can now focus better on their patients and help them deliver faster, more accurate diagnosis and treatment.

The new machine also provides excellent patient accessibility, patient protection mechanism, and effectively supports high patient load while enhancing accuracy and efficiency of gravity-oriented procedures.

The technology utilized in this new machine breaks new ground for interventional procedures, vascular, and cardiovascular applications. Because it simplifies cath lab workflow, cardiologists can now focus better on their patients and help them deliver faster, more accurate diagnosis and treatment.
