Dozee scores 510(k) for AI contactless sensor for RPM
Indian medical device company Dozee has received the United States Food and Drug Administration’s 510(k) clearance for its proprietary contactless sensor for remote patient monitoring.
The Dozee sensor sheet, which is placed under a hospital bed mattress, captures micro-vibrations from patients using Ballistocardiography. These vibrations are then converted into vital signs data, including heart and respiration rates, which are presented via a cloud-based remote monitoring dashboard to healthcare teams.
According to Dozee, this latest regulatory win allows it to realise its mission of bridging the gap in healthcare staffing shortage by promoting the adoption of automated patient monitoring systems across secondary and tertiary public hospitals in India and beyond.
SURGLASSES gets 510(k) for AR spinal navigation system
Taiwan Main Orthopaedic Biotechnology Co., also known as SURGLASSES, has also obtained a US FDA 510(k) clearance for its AR-based spine navigation system, Caduceus S.
Intended for use in complex spine surgeries, the AR system allows surgeons to superimpose 3D spinal anatomy on a patient.
The system is also equipped with multiple trackers and displays preoperative planned trajectories via a 3D AR head-mounted display, which enables projections from the navigation system into the HMD and provides a full field view of the patient.
This latest 510(k) clearance, which followed Taiwan FDA’s approval in August, allows SURGLASSES to launch its spinal navigation system in the US in the first quarter of 2023.
