Buyer's Guide

Buying a Pre-Owned Cath Lab System: Key Considerations

A cardiac catheterisation laboratory is one of the highest-complexity fixed installations in medical imaging. This guide covers the key evaluation criteria for a financially and clinically sound pre-owned cath lab acquisition.

1. Single-Plane vs. Biplane

Match system configuration to your interventional programme.

  • Single-plane: coronary, TAVI & peripheral vascular
  • Biplane: neuro, paediatric cardiac & structural heart
  • Confirm gantry geometry and rotation range

2. Flat-Panel Detector

Detector size and quality are central to procedural image quality.

  • 20u00d720 cm for coronary; 30u00d730 cm for peripheral & neuro
  • Verify DQE and detector generation
  • Image lag and noise performance

3. Patient Table & Generator

High-power generator and adequate table capacity for complex cases.

  • Table weight capacity (200u2013250 kg minimum)
  • Peak kW output for DSA and fluoroscopy
  • Table float range and isocentric movement

4. DSA & Software Packages

Advanced imaging capability for complex interventional procedures.

  • Digital subtraction angiography (DSA)
  • Road-mapping and rotational angiography
  • Haemodynamic system compatibility

5. Brands We Supply

World-leading interventional imaging platforms.

  • Philips u2014 Azurion, Allura Xper
  • Siemens u2014 Artis Q, Artis zee, Artis pheno
  • GE Healthcare u2014 Innova series; Shimadzu

6. Installation & Support

Complex projects require full turnkey delivery and commissioning.

  • Standard 90-day parts warranty
  • Full turnkey installation and commissioning
  • Staff application training at commissioning

Common Questions

Common Buyer Questions

Answers to the most common questions about pre-owned cath lab systems.

How much does a pre-owned cath lab cost compared to new?
Pre-owned cath lab systems typically cost 25u201355% of the equivalent new system purchase price, depending on system generation, configuration, and condition. For a complete biplane cath lab installation including project management and commissioning, savings of u20ac500,000u2013u20ac1,500,000 versus new are achievable.
What are the room requirements for a cath lab installation?
A standard single-plane cath lab room is typically 45u201365 mu00b2 with a minimum ceiling height of 3.0 m (more for biplane). Room requirements include radiation shielding (2u20134 mm Pb walls and ceiling), 3-phase power (typically 63A or higher), HVAC for equipment cooling, non-ferromagnetic fixtures, and a control room with viewing window. NOVO Imaging provides room planning documentation for each project.
Can a pre-owned cath lab still receive manufacturer software support?
This depends on the system generation and manufacturer. Many systems are 5u201312 years old at the time of secondary market sale and may be outside manufacturer support. NOVO Imaging's technical team and service partners provide ongoing maintenance, spare parts supply, and software support outside of the OEM network for all major platforms.
What is the difference between a cath lab and a hybrid OR?
A hybrid operating room combines the capabilities of a surgical theatre (sterile field, general anaesthesia, surgical table) with a fixed ceiling-mounted C-arm (typically a Siemens Artis pheno, Philips Azurion, or equivalent) for real-time imaging during complex cardiac or vascular surgery. NOVO Imaging supplies hybrid OR systems as well as standalone cath lab configurations.
How long does a cath lab installation typically take?
From arrival of equipment in country to first clinical case typically runs 4u20138 weeks u2014 covering rigging, mechanical installation, power connection, acceptance testing, clinical commissioning, and staff training. Room preparation (shielding, power, HVAC) by the buyer typically runs 6u201312 weeks in parallel.
