Image-guided therapy
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
Discover how ACT1 ACT2 guides clinical decisions
The ACT1 ACT2 workflow uses Philips iFR to elevate physiologic decision-making, allowing physicians to determine whether and where to treat and confirm treatment decisions. Learn more about how Philips iFR can help you leave no ischemia behind [3].
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 [7]
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

- Philips physiology wires enable measurement of both FFR and iFR, both supported by key industry guidelines including ESC Class IA designation.5
- Obtain easy length measurements that combine IVUS and iFR information with the angiogram to help determine if a stent will meet the procedural objectives
World's first solid core pressure guide wire [11]
With an all new workhorse design, only Philips OmniWire pressure guide wire combines confidence in wire performance with proven iFR outcomes and iFR Co-registration, making it easy to benefit from physiology throughout the case [3,9-10].
