Medis QFR^®

Q: Image Acquisition

For optimal 3D vessel reconstruction, Medis QFR ® requires only two projections. It is advisable that these captured projections be orthogonal, featuring minimal overlap within the target segment to ensure accurate reconstruction.

Q: QFR Assessment

Medis QFR ® provides a complete assessment of the target segment including the 3D reconstruction of the segment and quantitative assessment, which includes lesion length, per lesion ∆QFR, %Stenosis and Residual QFR. The dQFR/ds further provides the local severity of a lesion in the analyzed segment establishing the presence or absence of Focal disease.

Q: How can I best incorporate Medis QFR ® into my practice?

Medis QFR ® is very easy and seamless to adopt/incorporate into your current clinical practice for your physiology needs. The Medis QFR ® software can be installed on a regular PC or a laptop of your choice. Medis QFR ® has the capability to receive DICOM images from your enterprise cath lab system and PACS. This will help you perform both prospective and retrospective analysis of QFR from patient angiograms. The QFR analysis software can be made available on the large screen monitor in the Cath lab, to make measurements by the physician in real time and in the sterile environment. The software can also be used in the control room by the technicians and nursing staff and the results reviewed in the end by the physician.

Q: What makes QFR ® simple?

Medis QFR ® is an angiography image-derived physiology measure. QFR simplifies the process of measuring physiology without the need of invasive wires, which are needed for metrics like FFR and iFR. The wire-based measures can consume between 15-30 minutes per measurement during the procedure. QFR ® helps simplify the cost of the physiology procedure by eliminating the consumables, pressure wire and hyperemic pharmaceuticals like Adenosine.

Q: How quickly will I get the analysis?

The QFR ® analysis per target vessel segment is completed in less than 60 seconds.

Q: What makes QFR ® simple to use?

Quantitative flow ratio (QFR ® ) is an innovative technique that allows for the calculation of FFR (Fractional Flow Reserve) using three-dimensional quantitative coronary angiography (3D QCA) constructed from two angiograms. Unlike traditional methods, QFR ® does not rely on hyperaemic agents like adenosine, and there's no necessity for a pressure wire. QFR ® has a user-friendly interface and offers a straightforward, valuable, and non-invasive approach to assess the functional significance of coronary artery stenosis.

Your innovative solution for accurate coronary assessment

Medis QFR^® utilizes two angiographic projections for the quantitative assessment of physiology in epicardial arteries. Arterial plaques are often eccentric, requiring at least two orthogonal views to evaluate a coronary artery lesion. This approach resolves the challenge posed by eccentric lesions that may be hidden with the use of a single angiographic view and mitigates the risk of vessel shortening associated with a single projection⁵.

Quantitative Analysis

AI enabled end diastolic frame selection helps save valuable time and minimizes user variability during the analysis. Deep learning further helps ensure precise alignment between the two angiographic projections ensuring consistent and reliable measurements which leads to an accurate QFR assessment
