Albany, N.Y.-based AngioDynamics Inc.’s distribution partner Medcomp Inc. has received Health Canada approval for the Celerity tip location system. AngioDynamics plans to initiate distribution of the Celerity system in Canada in October.
The Celerity tip location system is an ECG (electrocardiography)-based peripherally inserted central catheter (PICC) tip confirmation technology indicated for use as an alternative to chest X-ray and fluoroscopy for PICC tip placement in adult patients. The system is currently under regulatory review in the United States and in Europe.
“The ability to offer an integrated tip location system puts us in a very strong competitive position,” said Chuck Greiner, senior vice president of AngioDynamics’ Global Vascular Access Franchise. “We believe the combination of the Celerity system with our market-leading, thrombus-resistant BioFlo technology may provide unparalleled clinical and economic advantages, and has the potential to become the gold standard in the PICC market.”
In January, AngioDynamics entered into a non-exclusive, global distribution agreement with Medcomp for the Celerity tip location system.
AngioDynamics makes minimally invasive medical devices used for vascular access, surgery, peripheral vascular disease and oncology.
