Imricor Medical Systems, Inc. , the global leader in MRI-guided cardiac ablation products, is pleased to announce a commercial collaboration with Optoacoustics Ltd, a world leader in innovative, high performance optical communication solutions for magnetic resonance (MR) applications.
Collaboration establishes a formal relationship between Imricor and Optoacoustics, to facilitate the introduction of multi-channel communication system wireless, IMROC IR TM , for customers to Imricor. IMROC provides wireless MRI noise reduction headsets, which can be used simultaneously by up to eight participants, including the patient. The system was developed specifically for use in cMRI environments.
Due to the noise and complexity of MRI, normal conversation can be difficult during cMRI procedures. The IMROC IR system is the world's first wireless, multi-channel audio system to operate without RF. The system uses light waves for transmission without impacting MRI imaging, allowing a calm and clear dialogue between physicians and technicians.
“Optoacoustics is a renowned company in the field of communication. The technology is very innovative and supports our overall strategy of integrating cardiac procedures into cMRI, ”said Nick Twohy, Director of Marketing, Imricor.
Imricor's products are uniquely designed to work in real time during MRI guidance, with the goal of achieving higher success rates as well as faster and safer treatment, compared to conventional procedures using guided catheters. by X-rays. Imricor is the first and only company to offer cardiac ablation devices for use in an MRI environment.
Dr. Yuvi Kahana, CEO and Co-Founder of Optoacoustics, said: “We are thrilled and excited; it is difficult to imagine a better symbiosis for IMROC. Imricor's advancements in catheter-based cardiac ablation demonstrate the productive benefits of simple and comfortable communications between cMRI staff members, and IMROC offers the most efficient noise reduction solution and the more robust there is.
