I just recently came into a Lab and started an EP program. Unlike you I was 'Gifted' with 3D mapping systems and catheters that the Hospital had bought 18 months before when they originally tried for an EP program.
However my Hospital has been very willing to take my suggestions on what further equipment and supplies to purchase.
If you are the only EP person there and need to do basic training, often the EP supply companies can give inservices. I will assume you have an empty room and supply closet.
Need Bi Plane x-ray. You can do it without Biplane but I feel it limits your level of complexity for cases. More radiation and time per case.
To start use 1 brand of catheters for diagnostics (a,h,v) as this limits expense of maintaining 2 different inventories and eventually just one brand will be principally utilized anyway.
Select a generator that is the most flexible and can grow with your program. recommend 100 watt. Won't use high watt often but its there when you need it.
Call and see if Bard or Prucka or Bloom will come to you with a loaner or if you can go to them to evaluate. My Docs seem to have strong opinions on the selection of recording systems and could impact your practice.
Have an idea of how long a procedure lasts, make sure the Docs agree. Factor in turnaround time.
Use OR standards for sterility.
Hope this helps,
Good luck, remember the things you do now will be the reason they do them later.
