Additional FDA 510(k) Clearance for NvisionVLE Imaging System
NinePoint Medical, Inc., announced that it has received an additional 510(k) clearance for its NvisionVLE Imaging System, expanding the system’s indication to include imaging of esophageal tissue microstructure. The system offers the only technology that can generate a volumetric image of the target organ in real-time that can be viewed simultaneously in cross section and longitudinally. It also performs a cross sectional scan through a 6cm length, 3mm deep, enabling visualization of multiple tissue layers. It is also the first volumetric optical coherence tomography (OCT) device cleared by the FDA for endoscopic imaging that uses a circumferential scanning technique and an automatic pullback to generate cross sectional and longitudinal images simultaneously in real-time.
E-Cube 7 Ultrasound System
Alpinion Medical Systems recently introduced the E-Cube 7 ultrasound system for use in guidance during regional anesthesia and pain medicine procedures.
Key system features include a small lightweight footprint with a 19” monitor. It also offers an easy-to-use control panel with auto-optimization tools, excellent image quality, a scratch resistant control panel and pinless transducer connectors.
Ultrasound Transducer Field Analysis and Acoustic Pressure-Mapping System
Acertara Acoustic Laboratories, the world’s only independent ISO/IEC 17025:2005 accredited medical ultrasound acoustic measurement and testing laboratory, has released the world’s first commercially available ultrasound acoustic dose-analysis and field mapping system. Aureon is intended for use in the hospital Biomedical and Medical Physics environment as well as in ultrasound research labs, regulatory agency labs, and for ultrasound system Original Equipment Manufacturers. Through directly capturing and measuring the acoustic energy present at the aperture of the ultrasound probe under test, Aureon can detect variations in emitted acoustic power down to a single element even in a large multi-element array.
