Frequently Asked Questions
How much does cath lab equipment cost?
New single-plane: $1.0–$2.0M. New biplane: $2.0–$4.0M. Refurbished single-plane: $250K–$600K. Refurbished biplane: $400K–$1.2M. Total project cost including room, ancillary equipment, and installation adds $200K–$500K.
What cath lab brands does Elesonic offer?
Elesonic supplies cath lab equipment from: Siemens (Artis Zee, Artis Q, Artis Pheno), Philips (Allura FD10/FD20, Azurion), and GE (Innova 2100/3100/4100, Discovery IGS). Both single-plane and biplane configurations available.
Can Elesonic install a cath lab in Africa?
Yes. Elesonic has cath lab installation experience across Africa. Our services cover: room design consultation, radiation shielding, equipment installation, FPD calibration, hemodynamic system setup, commissioning, and clinical training.
What is the revenue potential of a cath lab?
Diagnostic catheterization generates $1,000–$5,000/procedure. PCI/stenting generates $5,000–$15,000+/procedure. At 1000+ procedures/year, annual revenue can reach $1M–$5M+. ROI on refurbished cath lab is typically 1–3 years.
Do I need single-plane or biplane?
Single-plane covers 80–90% of cardiac catheterization needs including diagnostics and PCI. Biplane is essential for: neurointerventional procedures, complex structural heart cases, and pediatric cardiology. Most developing market hospitals start with single-plane.
How much does cath lab maintenance cost?
OEM: $200K–$400K/year. Third-party (Elesonic): $110K–$260K/year. The largest single cost is FPD replacement ($80K–$200K) — Elesonic's repair capability reduces this by 40–60%.
What training is provided with cath lab installation?
Elesonic provides comprehensive training: equipment operation, standard acquisition protocols, image processing features, radiation dose management, hemodynamic system operation, and emergency procedures. Training typically spans 1–2 weeks.
How long does cath lab installation take?
Timeline: room preparation 3–6 months (if new construction), equipment delivery 2–4 weeks, installation 2–4 weeks, commissioning and training 1–2 weeks. Total: 4–8 months from planning to clinical operation.
What ancillary equipment is needed?
Beyond the core cath lab system: hemodynamic monitoring system ($50K–$150K), contrast injector ($30K–$80K), PACS integration ($20K–$50K), defibrillator, anesthesia equipment, and consumable storage. Elesonic can help plan the complete equipment package.
Is refurbished cath lab safe for interventional procedures?
Yes. Refurbished cath labs from CE-certified providers meet the same safety standards as new systems. All safety systems, radiation shielding, emergency stops, and imaging chains are thoroughly tested during refurbishment and installation.
What room size is needed for a cath lab?
Single-plane: 30–40 sqm minimum. Biplane: 40–55 sqm. Plus control room (15–20 sqm), equipment room (10–15 sqm), and patient preparation area. Ceiling height minimum: 3.0 meters for C-arm clearance.
Can a cath lab do non-cardiac procedures?
Yes. Cath labs are increasingly used for: peripheral vascular interventions, neurointerventional (biplane), pain management, dialysis access, tumor embolization, and EVAR. Multi-purpose use maximizes ROI.
What power supply is needed?
Cath labs require: dedicated 3-phase power (100–150 kVA), online UPS system (30–60 kVA with 10–15 minute runtime), and automatic generator transfer. UPS is critical — power cannot be interrupted during interventional procedures.
Does Elesonic service cath labs after installation?
Yes. Elesonic provides specialized cath lab service contracts: quarterly PM, 24/7 remote support, priority emergency response, FPD repair/calibration, tube monitoring, and mechanical system maintenance — at 30–40% below OEM pricing.
What radiation protection is needed?
Cath lab radiation protection: wall shielding (2mm+ lead equivalent), lead-glass control room window, lead-lined door, ceiling and floor shielding (if occupied above/below), personal protection equipment (aprons, shields, glasses). Exact requirements depend on local regulations.
How does Elesonic's FPD repair capability save money?
Flat-panel detector replacement costs $80,000–$200,000. Elesonic's ability to repair and recalibrate FPDs restores performance at 40–60% of replacement cost — potentially saving $50,000–$120,000 per incident. This is one of the most significant cost advantages of Elesonic's cath lab service.
What hemodynamic monitoring system is recommended?
Essential: multi-channel pressure monitoring, 12-lead ECG, SpO2, cardiac output, and data recording. Systems from Philips, GE, and Mennen cost $50K–$150K. Elesonic can integrate hemodynamic monitoring with the cath lab system during installation.
Can I start with basic cath lab and upgrade later?
Yes. Start with a single-plane refurbished system for diagnostic and basic interventional work. As volume grows, add: advanced software features, workstation upgrades, or plan for biplane addition. The key equipment (room, shielding, power) is the foundation for future expansion.
What consumables does a cath lab need?
Annual consumable costs: catheters/guidewires ($50K–$200K+), contrast media ($20K–$50K), stents ($500–$3,000+ each), balloons ($200–$800 each), sterile supplies ($20K–$50K), medications ($10K–$30K). Consumables often exceed equipment service costs.
How do I plan staffing for a new cath lab?
Minimum staffing: 1–2 interventional cardiologists, 2–3 catheterization technologists, 1–2 nurses, and anesthesia support. Training program should begin months before the lab opens. Elesonic's clinical training helps prepare the team for successful lab launch.
