FDA clears Medison’s SA 8800
Medison America received clearance Aug. 21 for the company's SonoAce 8800 scanner, according to M.T. Kwon, president and CEO of the Pleasanton, CA, company. A collaborative effort between Medison and development partner ATL Ultrasound of Bothell, WA, SA
Medison America received clearance Aug. 21 for the company's SonoAce 8800 scanner, according to M.T. Kwon, president and CEO of the Pleasanton, CA, company. A collaborative effort between Medison and development partner ATL Ultrasound of Bothell, WA, SA 8800 is a mid-range color Doppler scanner that carries a 64-channel digital beamformer. As an added bonus, the scanner also supports 3-D imaging and can produce qualitative 3-D images in multiple planes or volumes.
ATL will sell the unit as HDI 1500 and expects to list it between $70,000 and $100,000. Medison and ATL entered into partnership earlier this year to develop and distribute mid-range digital ultrasound scanners (SCAN 5/13/98), and HDI 1500 evolved from the cooperative efforts of the two companies.
In other Medison news, the company has received 510(k) clearance for a power Doppler mode for Combison 530D, the firm's integrated 3-D ultrasound scanner.
