Med\u00adical tech\u00adnol\u00adogy com\u00adpany Pre\u00adci\u00adPoint today announced the launch of its iO:M8 live dig\u00adi\u00adtal micro\u00adscope. The micro\u00adscope is an inno\u00adv\u00ada\u00adtive solu\u00adtion for dig\u00adi\u00adtiz\u00ading intra\u00adop\u00ader\u00ada\u00adtive exam\u00adi\u00adna\u00adtions in can\u00adcer surgery. The device recently received cer\u00adti\u00adfi\u00adca\u00adtion as a CE-IVD prod\u00aduct. This first prod\u00aduct cer\u00adti\u00adfi\u00adca\u00adtion under the new IVDR reg\u00adu\u00adla\u00adtion is an impor\u00adtant mile\u00adstone in Pre\u00adci\u00adPoint\u2019s cor\u00adpo\u00adrate development.<\/p>\n
Pre\u00adci\u00adPoint is a young med\u00adical tech\u00adnol\u00adogy com\u00adpany pro\u00adduc\u00ading solu\u00adtions for the dig\u00adi\u00adti\u00adza\u00adtion of microscopy and lab\u00ado\u00adra\u00adtory processes for appli\u00adca\u00adtions in med\u00adi\u00adcine, research and edu\u00adca\u00adtion. In the devel\u00adop\u00adment of its prod\u00aducts, the com\u00adpany already col\u00adlab\u00ado\u00adrates with many renowned pathol\u00ado\u00adgists in Ger\u00admany. On the one hand, many gov\u00adern\u00adment-funded projects are advanc\u00ading promis\u00ading approaches in the ther\u00adapy of numer\u00adous can\u00adcers, and on the other hand, the com\u00adpany is devel\u00adop\u00ading the devices that make these research results vis\u00adi\u00adble and sim\u00adplify lab\u00ado\u00adra\u00adtory processes. \u201cWhere you live should not deter\u00admine whether you live. The pos\u00adsi\u00adbil\u00adi\u00adties of dig\u00adi\u00adtal pathol\u00adogy enable bet\u00adter patient care, and our prod\u00aducts facil\u00adi\u00adtate access to dig\u00adi\u00adtal pathol\u00adogy,\u201d explained Dominik Ger\u00adber, CEO of Pre\u00adci\u00adPoint GmbH.<\/p>\n
The com\u00adpa\u00adny\u2019s lat\u00adest devel\u00adop\u00adment, the iO:M8, offers a dis\u00adtinc\u00adtive solu\u00adtion for dig\u00adi\u00adtiz\u00ading intra\u00adop\u00ader\u00ada\u00adtive can\u00adcer exams. Dur\u00ading these exam\u00adi\u00adna\u00adtions, pathol\u00ado\u00adgists deter\u00admine dur\u00ading surgery whether tumor tis\u00adsue has been com\u00adpletely removed from the patien\u00adt\u2019s body and whether the mar\u00adgins of the oper\u00adated site are free of can\u00adcer cells. Tra\u00addi\u00adtion\u00adally, these exam\u00adi\u00adna\u00adtions are per\u00adformed at a spe\u00adcific loca\u00adtion and time using tra\u00addi\u00adtional light microscopy. How\u00adever, the iO:M8 was devel\u00adoped specif\u00adi\u00adcally for this appli\u00adca\u00adtion and allows tis\u00adsue removed dur\u00ading surgery to be cryo\u00adsta\u00adt\u00adi\u00adcally frozen in a frozen sec\u00adtion\u00ading process, sec\u00adtioned and mounted on glass slides. The iO:M8 can accom\u00admo\u00addate up to four slides simul\u00adta\u00adne\u00adously. It pro\u00advides high-res\u00ado\u00adlu\u00adtion images of the sam\u00adples in real time while being easy to use. \u201cIn view of the increas\u00ading short\u00adage of pathol\u00ado\u00adgists cou\u00adpled with the ris\u00ading num\u00adber of can\u00adcer cases in Ger\u00admany, Europe and world\u00adwide, solu\u00adtions like PreciPoint\u00b4s are indis\u00adpens\u00adable,\u201d com\u00admented Nico\u00adlas Weiss, who heads the com\u00adpany together with Dominik Ger\u00adber. The iO:M8 is a med\u00adical device used in med\u00adical ther\u00adapy. There\u00adfore, the basic prin\u00adci\u00adples of safety and per\u00adfor\u00admance must be demon\u00adstrated for use. Only the CE-IVD mark\u00ading pro\u00advides this security.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe are pleased that our iO:M8 live micro\u00adscope has passed all the required tests and reg\u00adu\u00adla\u00adtions. This ensures that it meets the high\u00adest qual\u00adity and reli\u00ada\u00adbil\u00adity stan\u00addards as an IVD med\u00adical device. This micro\u00adscope will help drive dig\u00adi\u00adti\u00adza\u00adtion in health\u00adcare and we are excited about the impact it will have in the med\u00adical com\u00admu\u00adnity,\u201d said Ger\u00adber. Nico\u00adlas Weiss added, \u201cCE-IVD cer\u00adti\u00adfi\u00adca\u00adtion is a tes\u00adta\u00adment to the hard work and ded\u00adi\u00adca\u00adtion of our team, which has invested count\u00adless months to ensure this micro\u00adscope meets the high\u00adest per\u00adfor\u00admance and safety stan\u00addards. With this cer\u00adti\u00adfi\u00adca\u00adtion, our cus\u00adtomers can be assured that they are get\u00adting a safe, reli\u00adable and effec\u00adtive tool for their diag\u00adnos\u00adtic tasks. We are very excited to bring this cut\u00adting-edge tech\u00adnol\u00adogy to mar\u00adket and con\u00adtribute to the advance\u00adment of med\u00adical tech\u00adnol\u00adogy and healthcare.\u201d<\/p>\n
