A Greenville company has received clearance from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration to begin marketing a hi-tech medical imaging device it says has the potential to reduce surgical complications, the company announced this week.
RFPi, which started with financial assistance from the N.C. Biotechnology Center, received FDA approval for its iCertainty blood flow and perfusion imaging system, a company news release said. The clearance allows RFPi sell iCertainty to surgeons for use in open surgery procedures.
iCertainty is based on technology developed at and licensed from East Carolina University. It shows real-time blood flow and perfusion in vascular structures and critical tissues during surgeries.
