Executive Summary
Philips Medical Systems has gained US FDA 510(k) clearance to sell its Integris Allura Flat Detector catheterisation lab system, which is claimed to improve small heart vessel imaging while both reducing X-ray exposure to the patient and procedure times. The system comprises a next-generation flat detector, X-ray sensor that captures and converts more X-rays into visible light and features smaller digital pixels, which result in sharper coronary vessel images, said the firm.
