Automated whole-breast ultrasound technology developer SonoCine has signed computer-aided detection (CAD) developer Medipattern as its exclusive Canadian distributor.
The SonoCine automated whole-breast ultrasound system (AWBUS), which recently received Canadian Medical Devices Conformity Assessment System (CMDCAS) approval from Health Canada as a class II medical device, is available for immediate sale in Canada, Medipattern said. It's available either via a capital purchase or on a fee-per-procedure basis.
The first SonoCine system in Canada will be installed this week at Clinique Radiologique Audet in Quebec City.
