Before you cross the line, know their risk.
ContrastIQ is a physician-developed platform designed to support patient-specific risk assessment and contrast planning in cardiac catheterization labs.
THE CLINICAL CHALLENGEEvery Patient Brings a Different Level of Risk.
Contrast-associated acute kidney injury is an important consideration in cardiac catheterization. Patient-specific assessment can help clinicians understand individual risk factors before a procedure.
Patient Risk Varies
Each patient presents a unique clinical profile and individual risk factors.
Clinical Judgment Matters
Contrast planning requires careful consideration of clinical information.
Information Supports Decisions
Clear, relevant information helps clinicians make more informed decisions at the point of care.
HOW CONTRASTIQ WORKSFrom Patient Data to More Informed Decisions.
ContrastIQ brings patient-specific information into a structured risk assessment process.
Enter Patient Information
Provide the relevant clinical information needed for assessment.
Assess Individual Risk
ContrastIQ processes the information to generate a patient-specific risk assessment.
Support Contrast Planning
Use patient-specific risk assessments to inform clinical decisions before, during, and after cardiac catheterization procedures.
RISK CALCULATORUnderstand the numbers behind the risk.
Contrast-associated acute kidney injury is an important consideration in cardiac catheterization. Patient-specific assessment can help clinicians understand individual risk factors before a procedure.
Number of PCI procedures performed annually.
Editable example. Use your hospital's actual AKI rate when available.
Illustrative $19,000 assumption. Replace with your organization's estimate.
Optional mathematical scenario. Not a predicted ContrastIQ clinical outcome.
Estimated from the selected assumptions. Not actual expenditure or proven avoidable costs.
What-if scenario
Illustrative onlyExplore a hypothetical change in AKI incidence. This does not predict the effect of ContrastIQ or any clinical intervention.
Important: All calculations are illustrative. Inputs are unverified assumptions and are not clinical predictions, demonstrated savings, or guarantees of financial performance.
View calculation methodology and assumptions
Estimated annual AKI cases = annual PCI volume × AKI incidence.
Modeled annual AKI cost burden = estimated cases × assumed incremental cost per case.
Hypothetical AKI incidence = entered incidence × (1 − hypothetical relative reduction).
Modeled annual cost difference = annual modeled burden × hypothetical relative reduction.
Case counts are rounded for display. Calculations use unrounded values. No multi-year forecasts or payback calculations are included.
RESEARCH & CLINICAL BACKGROUNDGrounded in Clinical Research.
Developed by interventional cardiologist Alan Zajarias, MD, ContrastIQ draws on clinical experience and research related to contrast-associated acute kidney injury.
