GE Healthcare gets clearance for Innova imaging systems

GE Healthcare (GE) has announced that it has received 510(k) clearance from the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for two imaging systems.

The Innova 3131 (IQ) and 2121 (IQ) are digital flat panel Biplane imaging systems that GE said are the only such systems to simultaneously cover the full size of a patient’s lateral and frontal anatomy.

GE’s new technology can be used for a variety of cardiovascular and neurovascular procedures that are guided by images due to the full coverage offered.

“With the use of Biplane systems for cardiology, interventional radiology, and minimally-invasive therapeutic interventions, clinicians can now rely on Innova’s excellent image quality, large detector size, and advanced technology that together set a new standard in interventional imaging,” said vice president of the global interventional, cardiology and surgery business for GE Healthcare, Laura King.

The Innova Biplane systems can produce three-dimensional images of a patient’s soft tissue, bone and vascular system and is capable of imaging the finest vessels in the body.
