The medical landscape is constantly evolving, and the need for flexible, efficient cardiac care solutions via mobile cath labs has never been more critical.
Hospital administrators seeking rental mobile cath labs now have various options to consider.
In this article, we'll explore the ins and outs of mobile cardiac cath lab solutions, focusing on mobile trailer solutions that are placed at the exterior of the hospital, modular solutions that are placed at the exterior of the hospital, and mobile cath lab equipment that can be wheeled into an OR or procedure room.
A Mobile Cardiac Cath Lab or a Cath Lab Rental can address the following situations that hospitals deal with:
- Cath Lab Construction
- Cath Lab Replacement
- Temporary increase in Cath Lab demand
- Growing patient waiting list for your Cath Lab
Mobile Cath Lab Trailer Solution
Requirements of a Mobile Trailer/Truck Solution
Our
mobile cath labs are comprehensive, self-contained trailers designed for ease of transportation and functionality. They include all the necessary equipment for cardiac catheterization procedures, such as X-ray equipment, patient monitoring systems, hemodynamics, injectors and digital imaging technology.
How Much Physical Space Is Required?
These mobile units require space, not just for parking but also for safe operation. A flat, open area of approximately 60 feet in length and 30 feet in width is ideal. This space accounts for the trailer itself and the necessary room for setup and access.
Does the Space for the Trailer Need to Be Flat?
Yes. The area designated for the mobile cath lab must be level and flat. This ensures the stability of the unit and the safety of the medical procedures conducted inside. If you do not have a flat space you can work with your facilities team on creating a concrete pad or cement slab. This project can typically be completed for less than $10k.
Electric Requirements
Mobile cath labs require access to an external power source. This is a must for longer-term installations. Typically, a 200-amp, 480-volt, 3 phase power supply is sufficient to operate this style of mobile cath lab. Double check with the rental company you contract with on the requirements for the specific trailer they are quoting.
Rental Pricing Estimates
The cost of renting a mobile trailer/truck cardiac cath lab can vary based on the rental duration, equipment specifications, and additional services required. On average, prices can range from $30,000 to $60,000 per month.
Modular Cath Lab Solution
Requirements of a Modular Solution
Modular cath labs offer a semi-permanent structure and can be customized to fit specific needs. They require more setup and transportation time than mobile trailers but offer a more traditional cath lab feel. They are larger than a trailor solution and more suitable for a semi-permanent solution vs a short term rental mobile cath lab.
How Much Physical Space Is Required?
For a modular solution, a space of about 1,800 to 2,200 square feet is typically necessary. This space should accommodate the cath lab, control room, and a small waiting area.
Does the Space for the Modular Solution Need to Be Flat?
Similar to mobile units, the ground for a modular cath lab needs to be flat and stable. However, there is a bit more flexibility in terrain adaptability due to the semi-permanent nature of the setup.
Electric Requirements
Modular units generally require a direct connection to the hospital's power supply. The specifics can vary, but a 200-amp, 480-volt, 3-phase power supply is commonly sufficient.
Rental Pricing Estimates
The cost for modular cath lab solutions can range significantly based on customization and installation complexity. Expect costs to be higher than mobile trailers, often ranging from $40,000 to $60,000 per month.
Mobile Technology in Procedure Room for Cardiac Cath Labs
Requirements of Mobile Equipment Solutions
This solution involves mobile cath lab equipment that can be wheeled directly into an existing procedure room, transforming it into a functional mobile cath lab. This option is ideal for hospitals that are looking to continue procedures such as pacemakers. This is the easiest solution though it does come with clinical limitations.
How Much Physical Space Is Required?
The primary requirement is a standard-sized procedure room within the hospital. These rooms typically range from 400 to 1,000 square feet.
Electric Requirements
Mobile cath lab equipment usually plugs into standard electrical outlets (110-120 volts). Specialized equipment may have specific power requirements.
Rental Pricing Estimates
Mobile equipment rental is often the most cost-effective option, with prices ranging from $8,000 to $40,000 per month, depending on the equipment's sophistication.
Mobile Cath Lab Trailer, Modular Cath Lab, or Procedure Room - What's my best option?
For hospital administrators exploring mobile cath lab rental options, understanding the requirements and costs of each solution is crucial for making informed decisions. Whether it's a mobile cath lab trailer, a modular cath lab solution, or mobile cath lab equipment in an existing OR, each option offers unique benefits tailored to different hospital needs and constraints. By carefully evaluating these options, administrators can ensure the continued delivery of high-quality cardiac care.
