As part of the South Wales cardiology network renewal programme, Philips UKI has supplied a second cath lab to University of Wales Hospital in Cardiff.  The AlluraClarity FD10 single plane lab will operate together with a Philips biplane system, also installed as part of the renewal programme.

Also delivered with the system was FlexVision XL 56″ 8MP monitor, providing a high level of detail for each procedure, that allows the user to see up to eight different inputs on a single widescreen.

Superintendent radiographer Penny Lloyd said: “With the large format, CTO images are easily visualised and complex anatomy demonstrated.”
