GE HealthCare (NASDAQ:GEHC) has notched US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) clearance for its Allia IGS Pulse Platform. The platform is an image-guided system (IGS) that offers new imaging at the right dose for impacting cardiology interventions.
In a newsrelease, the company stated the Allia IGS Pulse platform is intended to improve workflow for diagnosing and treating cardiovascular diseases in interventional technology.
“Interventional cardiology procedures require exceptional image quality,” Arnaud Marie, general manager of Interventional for GE HealthCare, said in a statement. “I’m excited by the addition of Allia IGS Pulse to our interventional offerings because it addresses the very things clinicians continue to tell us present challenges in their day-to-day practice.”

The company stated that Allia IGS Pulse will be showcased for the first time at the Transcatheter Cardiovascular Therapeutics 2023 conference.
