Frontal + lateral planes

Biplane Cath Labs

A biplane cath lab has two imaging planes — a frontal C-arm and a lateral C-arm — that image from two angles at once. That means two sets of suspensions, detectors and tubes in one room, so assembly and removal must be sequenced carefully between both planes.

Mechanical installation / deinstallation scope

  • Mechanical installation and positioning of frontal and lateral plane stands and suspensions, patient table and monitor ceiling suspension
  • Routing, dressing and connection of manufacturer-specified system interconnect cables (low-voltage system cabling and connector mating only) between both imaging planes
  • Control-room workstation and imaging-console component installation and system interconnections
  • Equipment-room cabinet/rack component placement and interconnection of system cabling
  • Equipment interface checks and handoff for authorized power-on — energizing, software setup and clinical commissioning by OEM-authorized personnel
  • Deinstallation: disconnection and removal of system interconnects only after client-authorized shutdown and electrical isolation, then mechanical breakdown and removal

Facility wiring, electrical terminations, mains hookups and power-on are by licensed or OEM-authorized personnel; we are not a Philips field-service provider; rigging and freight arranged by the client or project. Independent provider, not affiliated with Philips.
