French ultrasound technology developer SuperSonic Imagine has received U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) 510(k) clearance for two new probes used with its Aixplorer ultrasound system.
The SHL20-6 probe facilitates musculoskeletal and sports medicine diagnoses. The high-frequency transducer is shaped like a hockey stick and provides high-resolution images of muscles, tendons, ligaments, and joints, the firm said.
The other probe is the single crystal XP5-1 transducer, which combines high sensitivity and enhanced resolution to visualize very low blood flow, an important feature for optimal transcranial Doppler and abdominal vascular measurements, the company noted.
