Amsterdam, the Netherlands –
Royal Philips (NYSE: PHG, AEX: PHIA), a global leader in health technology, today announced U.S. commercial availability of the HyperVue Integrated System¹, a new single room-based configuration of its HyperVue Imaging System for DeepOCT+NIRS imaging and X1-FFR physiology assessment. It is designed to keep advanced coronary imaging and physiology tools connected and readily available in the interventional suite. The system will be showcased at TCT 2026 in San Diego, California, October 31–November 3, alongside Philips’ broader portfolio of imaging, physiology and procedural guidance solutions for precision PCI.

“Every procedure is an opportunity to help a patient return to a fuller life, and physicians need technology that supports confident clinical decisions without adding unnecessary complexity or time,” said Stacy Beske, Business Leader, Image Guided Therapy Devices at Philips. “For advanced intravascular imaging to become part of everyday practice, it has to fit naturally into the high-volume workflow of the interventional suite. Part of what Philips will showcase at TCT is how this approach extends across our portfolio, bringing imaging, physiology and procedural guidance closer together so physicians can access the information they need throughout the PCI procedure.”

Bringing physiology and intravascular imaging together
HyperVue with X1-FFR¹ brings together angiography derived, drug-free coronary physiology with DeepOCT+NIRS intravascular imaging on a single platform.  X1-FFR is an FDA cleared, AI powered, angiography derived platform designed to simplify and speed up FFR results at the patient’s bedside.² X1-FFR is the only FDA cleared angiogram-derived FFR solution to use a single angiographic view, rather than two or three, to provide an FFR value.² At TCT Philips will showcase both X1-FFR and HyperVue’s DeepOCT+NIRS imaging.

An integrated system designed around interventional suite workflow
As coronary interventions become more complex, physicians need timely, meaningful information to assess disease, plan treatment and confirm results without adding unnecessary complexity for the clinical team. Unlike the mobile configuration of the HyperVue Imaging System that must be brought into the procedure room, powered and connected for each case, HyperVue Integrated is permanently installed in a dedicated interventional suite, keeping this imaging capability readily available when clinicians need it.

“In a high-volume cath lab, imaging technology needs to be readily available, simple to operate and easy to use at the point of care,” said Richard Shlofmitz, MD, Chief of Cardiology, St. Francis Hospital & Heart Center, Catholic Health. “We were encouraged by the HyperVue technology and look forward to continuing our collaboration with Philips to explore how a more integrated workflow can support efficient, patient-focused care.”

By eliminating the need to move, connect and prepare a mobile system for each procedure, HyperVue Integrated is designed to reduce setup steps and make advanced imaging and physiology more accessible in the everyday cathlab workflow.
