iFR

Be confident in treatment and deferral decisions with Philips iFR.

 
iFR is in a class of its own and is the leading hyperemia-free physiologic index for measuring pressure in diagnostic and interventional procedures. Only offered by Philips, iFR Co-registration maps the physiologic measurements directly onto the angiogram enabling more complete procedural guidance. No other resting index has an ESC and ACC/AHA/SCAI Class IA recommendation based on the high level of clinical evidence for its accuracy. Philips iFR is the Gold Standard 1,2

Demonstrated results

1 in 4


Patients with angiographically successful PCI left the cath lab with residual ischemia (defined as iFR <0.90, residual DS < 50% in any treated lesion).
3

68%


Relative reduction in clinical events at one year follow-up among patients achieving post-PCI iFR ≥ 0.95 (p-value=0.04).
4

81.6%


Of the patients with residual ischemia were caused by an untreated angiographically inapparent physiologically focal stenosis (≤ 15 mm).

$1024


On average saved with iFR compared to FFR, as found by iFR Swedeheart.

Features

iFR Co-registration

Only iFR has Co-registration for advanced physiologic guidance


Map iFR values directly onto the angiogram so you can see which parts of a vessel are causing ischemia. With iFR Co-registration there is no need for hyperemic drugs. You can automatically co-register values in seconds onto the angiogram.
 

  • Better discern focal, serial or diffuse disease6
  • Determine precise lesion severity and location7,8
  • Make length measurements without a cumbersome pullback device6
  • Estimate the physiologic impact of a virtual stent6
     

iFR Co-registration is available on the new Philips IntraSight interventional applications platform and as an upgrade to the Core systems.

iFR pullback technology

iFR Pullback technology7


iFR Pullback technology reveals the physiologic profile of the entire vessel, so when you encounter diffuse disease or serial lesions you can make informed treatment decisions.

 

•  Provides beat-by-beat iFR pressure measurements across the entire vessel, artery-by-artery

•  Establishes the physiological significance of each vessel and/or individual lesion (focal or diffuse)

•  Provides a clear view of the functional gain
