Certificate

Cardiac Cath Lab Equipment Service Technician

A 12-credit certificate for technicians who support interventional cardiology suites. You start with cath lab systems and radiation safety, then service single and bi-plane C-arms and flat-panel image chains, followed by contrast power injectors, hemodynamic recording and intracardiac ultrasound. The final course covers calibration, QA and preventive maintenance. Coursework is vendor-neutral. It prepares you for industry practice and does not by itself grant any license or agency certification.
