Physiometrix Files 510(k) with FDA For Next Generation Monitor
NO. BILLERICA, Mass., Jan. 8 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Physiometrix, Inc.
(NASDAQ-SCM: PHYX) announced today that it has submitted a 510(k) application to
obtain clearance for commercial distribution of its PSA 5000 next generation
monitor to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The PSA 5000 is a new
state of the art monitor that is more powerful, cost effective and ergonomic
than it's predecessor the PSA 4000.
"The conclusion of this development effort represents a significant step forward
for Physiometrix," said John A. Williams, president and chief executive officer.
"We believe this next generation technology, with several new features, will
further differentiate us from our competition. With clinical studies being
readied for distribution and a new marketing and sales focus with our Partners
at Baxter, we believe that we are well positioned for success and 2004 will be a
strong year for our company."
Designed for use by anesthesiologists, the PSA 4000 is a device that enables an
anesthesiologist to monitor and manage a patient's level of consciousness under
anesthesia in the operating room or intensive care unit. The PSA 4000 has the
potential to enhance patient care and improve recovery times in hospitals across
the U.S. and around the world.
Physiometrix, Inc. designs, manufactures and markets noninvasive medical
products -- based on novel gel materials, sophisticated signal-processing
electronics technologies, and proprietary software -- for use in anesthesia-
monitoring during surgical procedures.
