Radi and GE Healthcare to integrate PressureWire Aeris and FFR in GE Mac-Lab IT

This agreement defines the terms of a development that will bring together GE’s Mac-Lab IT with first of its kind wireless measurement of Fractional Flow Reserve (FFR) from Radi, seamlessly integrating measurement of FFR into the cathlab workflow and with all procedural results stored into existing data archives, said Radi.

The co-operation will enable the option of upgrading to wireless measurement and integrated FFR on all existing and new GE Mac-Lab IT installations.

Pascale Witz, vice president of GE Healthcare’s interventional cardiology business, said: “Combining the strength of GE’s Mac-Lab hemodynamic recording system with the performance of Radi’s Pressurewire Aeris in the assessment of FFR has great clinical potential. We’re pleased to enter into a relationship that expands the clinical capabilities of our systems with new possibilities.”

Anders Qvarnstrom, COO of Radi Medical Systems, said: “The incorporation of FFR and PressureWire Aeris into GE Mac-Lab IT is a major advancement as FFR becomes the standard of care in the interventional cathlab. With FFR available directly in the existing hemodynamic recording system the need for additional equipment is removed and the procedure setup is reduced to the flick of a switch.”
