FDA Clears the SMART-C®® Advanced X-ray Imaging System from Turner Imaging Systems
October 8, 2019
(Orem, UT) October 2, 2019_Turner Imaging Systems, a developer of advanced x-ray
imaging systems, today announced the Company has received FDA 510(k) clearance
for its SMART-C®® Mini C-Arm portable fluoroscopy x-ray imaging device. What makes
this device unique is its true mobility and portability. The patent-pending SMART-C
weighs only 16 pounds so that it can be hand carried to the point of care, and is battery-
powered for a completely wireless imaging procedure.
Turner Imaging Systems looks forward to launching the SMART-C®into US markets
followed quickly Worldwide. The Company will be showcasing the SMART-C®at MEDICA
(the world’s largest medical exhibition) in Dusseldorf, Germany in November followed by
the RSNA (Radiological Society of North America) meeting in Chicago in early
December.
“The SMART-C®will revolutionize how and where doctors use x-rays,” said D. Clark
Turner, Ph.D., founder and CEO of Turner Imaging Systems. “We envision the SMART-C
being particularly useful for humanitarian aid workers, including groups such as Doctors
Without Borders. Other specialty applications will include imaging in sports medicine,
especially on the field or in the locker room, in-office outpatient orthopedic surgeries,
care on military battlefields, extremity injections for pain management, mobile radiology
units in rural areas, emergency rooms and much more.” The SMART-C®is the first device
in a pipeline of products that will employ similar technologies for portable, wireless
imaging.
Dr. Howard Berger, President and Chief Executive Officer of RadNet , Inc. (NASDAQ:
RDNT) commented, “As one of the largest purchasers and evaluators of imaging
equipment in the U.S., I believe SMART-C®is one of the most unique innovations to be
introduced to our industry in many years. Its portability, cordless design and high-
quality images will attract users in multiple diagnostic imaging settings. As an early
investor in Turner Imaging Systems, RadNet congratulates the Company’s
management and employee base in receiving FDA clearance.”
