Imris gets FDA clearance for MRI/angio suites

Imris has received FDA 510(k) approval for its IMRISNV and IMRIScardio, which have the capabilities of both MRI and x-ray angiography in a single suite.

According to the Winnipeg, Manitoba-based company, IMRISNV features a wide-bore 3T MRI scanner and a bi-plane angiography system in a single suite. Using IMRISNV, MRI can be taken before and during procedures to assess tissue health, and can also be used in conjunction with fluoroscopic images during an interventional procedure. On completion of the procedure, new images can be taken to evaluate the intervention.

The IMRIScardio suite includes a wide-bore 1.5T MRI scanner and a single-plane or bi-plane angiography system providing the capability to alternate between imaging modalities and assessing treatment, Imris said.
