CAS Medical Systems Inc. (CASMED) has been awarded 510(k) clearance from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for an expanded label claim for its Fore-Sight Elite oximeters for use in non-cerebral tissue of adults. This clearance will permit Fore-Sight Elite oximeters to be marketed to clinicians to determine oxygen saturation of hemoglobin in musculoskeletal applications.
“We are delighted to receive this expanded indication, which shows our company’s commitment to continually expand and upgrade the quality and application of Fore-Sight for our customers,” said President and CEO Tom Patton. “While this new application represents a modest incremental market opportunity, it may help to increase utilization as clinicians who monitor skeletal muscles also tend to monitor both hemispheres of the brain at the same time. Our new Fore-Sight Elite monitor is designed to report up to four channels of oxygenation from four sensors simultaneously in an easy-to-use touchscreen interface.”
CASMED plans to introduce the upgraded software that perfects these non-cerebral applications for the Fore-Sight Elite in the third quarter ending Sept. 30, 2014.
Based in Branford, Conn., CASMED makes medical devices for non-invasive patient monitoring.
