Volcano Announces U.S. and European Launch of Rotational IVUS and Inte...(existing s5functionality including Chrom...)

Volcano IVUS will also be highlighted in GE Healthcare's booth. GE's "Innova(R) IVUS" is based on Volcano's s5i, and offers clinicians a deeper level of integration. With Innova IVUS, patient data transfers automatically between Innova and the s5i, and IVUS commands are integrated directly into Innova Central, GE's bedside control device. Additionally, when the case is complete, IVUS and angio can be archived in the same "patient jacket", making future data retrieval faster and easier.

The Volcano s5i Imaging System has been tested in cooperation with GE, Philips, Siemens and Toshiba for safety and compatibility when used with their current lines of x-ray systems and equipment. The Volcano s5i has also been tested for compatibility with eleven different DICOM providers. The Volcano s5i will also be on display at the Phillips, Siemens and Toshiba booths at the ACC.
