Polarean Receives Clearance for New MRI Chest Coil

Additional clearance for new MRI chest coil further supports the recently announced collaboration with
Philips

 

Polarean Imaging Plc (AIM: POLX), a commercial-stage medical device leader in advanced MRI scanning of the lungs, announces it has received 510(k) clearance from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for the Company's specialised MRI chest coil to now include Philips 3.0T MRI scanners for the visualisation of the Xenon-129 (129Xe) nuclei.

 

The Polarean XENOVIEW 3.0T Chest Coil is a flexible, single channel, transmit-receive RF coil tuned to image 129Xe nuclei while a patient is positioned inside a multinuclei-capable MRI scanner. The XENOVIEW Chest Coil is indicated to be used in conjunction with compatible 3.0T MRI scanners and approved hyperpolarised 129Xe for oral inhalation for the evaluation of lung ventilation in adults and paediatric patients, aged 12 years and older. The addition of the new Philips configuration does not affect the intended use of the device; the safety and effectiveness has been confirmed with testing.

 

Christopher von Jako, CEO of Polarean, said: "Polarean continues to develop and launch new devices and accessories that empower sites to perform modern respiratory imaging, enabling as many clinicians as possible to use our technology for their patients. This FDA clearance also further supports our recently announced collaboration with Philips, by expanding our product line to be compatible with their advanced MRI systems."
