Volcano Announces Placement of 1,000th s5 and s5i IVUS Imag...(d integrated FFR lesion severity assessm...)

d integrated FFR lesion severity assessment. Mr. Huennekens continued, "By adding high resolution rotational IVUS and pressure-based FFR to our phased array s5 imaging platform, we provide a level of technology, clinical utility and convenience that is un-matched in the intravascular imaging field. No other company provides a system that integrates this level of functionality and convenience in a single platform. Our message now is simple: Volcano offers physicians all three technologies on one system -- you can choose which technology is best for your patient and clinical team."

Earlier generation consoles included only one of the three technologies now available on the s5i. If a hospital wanted to equip a new lab with all three technologies, they would have to acquire three separate consoles, each with a different measurement modality, training requirements and data storage protocols. The Volcano s5i can now accommodate three primary intravascular diagnostic tools in regular use by cardiologists today (high frequency rotational IVUS, fast and simple phased array IVUS, and pressure-based FFR guidewires) on a single platform, making Volcano's s5 and s5i imaging systems more flexible than ever before.

Presence at EuroPCR08

Volcano's presence at the EuroPCR 2008 Congress in Barcelona will include live case transmissions with IVUS, FFR, and OCT, scientific symposia sponsorship, first-in-man clinical experience and live product demonstrations at Volcano booth #B02. Volcano will also participate in the following scientific symposia during the program.
