Liverpool Heart and Chest Hospital

The LHCH Medical team recently chose to install the world-leading Medinbox live broadcast and recording system to showcase their skills worldwide in the field of Interventional Cardiology and Rhythm management.

The LHCH has seven Cardiac Catheter Laboratories (Cath Labs); three for coronary intervention, three for heart rhythm management and device implantation, and one is multifunctional. Byond had the task of completing installations in Electrophysiology and PCI labs, and both systems are now regularly used to broadcast live cases to international and UK audiences.

A collaboration from start to finish

This was a project that required great care and attention to detail throughout the process. We collaborated with the clinical teams, external building contractors, Cath Lab equipment suppliers, and hospital Estates and Information Technology departments to ensure that every requirement could be met. Both systems were delivered on time and on budget.

Medinbox provides first class medical education

“LHCH has a long-established track record of transmitting live cases nationally and internationally,” says Dr Nick Palmer. “We have previously relied heavily on excellent broadcast companies to provide AV capability. However, the design and development of our new Cath lab facility provided an opportunity for us to establish an in-house AV system funded by charitable funds.

During a robust tendering process to evaluate several systems, it rapidly became clear, from system information and reliable positive feedback from colleagues in other UK centres, that Medinbox offered the best solution to fit out two of our Cath labs.”

"Medinbox and Byond Group have contributed to our global reputation as a centre of excellence"

“The technical support aspect of the offering was also a major factor in our decision. Since the installation of the system, we have been delighted with its functionality and the high level of support provided by the Byond tech team. We have delivered 5 live case transmissions to national and international conferences (e.g. India Live, CCST, India and CORE) and have run a regional CTO-PCI live case meeting (CTONow).

There are future plans to provide in-house teaching and education sessions, involving live demonstrations to various clinical groups. We also have strong links to partners such as Boston and Medtronic and plan to provide similar teaching with commercial and reputational benefits for the centre. Overall, the installation of the Medinbox system has significantly enhanced our reputation as a leading Cardiothoracic Centre in the UK.”
