FDA clears neurovascular aspiration, access catheters from Perfuze

BY SEAN WHOOLEY The Millipede catheter. [Image courtesy of Perfuze] Perfuze announced today that the FDA cleared its Millipede 070 aspiration catheter and second-generation Millipede 088 access catheter. Galway, Ireland-based Perfuze developed Millipede 070 to address critical unmet needs in ischemic stroke treatment. It aims to remove clots rapidly and safely through a novel, unique catheter. Millipede 070 has a unique design with a rib-and-recess surface architecture to improve navigability and reduce tip stiffness while maintaining durability. The design features superior deliverability and high procedural efficiency, enabling a more refined approach for restoring blood flow to the brain during endovascular thrombectomy procedures. The company currently has enrollment underway for its MARRS pivotal clinical study to support future regulatory submissions. “Perfuze aims to provide neurovascular interventionists with innovative thrombectomy solutions, to maximize their opportunity to completely restore blood flow to the brain on their first attempt,” said Wayne Allen, CEO. “The ...

Accurate Blood Markers for Identifying AKI Could Eliminate Need for Invasive Kidney Biopsies

Acute Kidney Injury (AKI) is a condition characterized by intense inflammation, leading to sudden kidney function loss. AKI affects an estimated 15% to 20% of hospitalized patients, increasing their risk of in-hospital death and possibly leading to chronic kidney disease requiring dialysis or transplant. Clinicians have long sought markers to detect AKI without resorting to invasive kidney biopsies. Now, researchers have used cells from kidney biopsies to make progress in the search for more accurate and easier-to-obtain markers that can predict, manage, and assess the treatment of AKI. This new study by investigators at Johns Hopkins University (Baltimore, MD, USA) focused on noninvasive assessments of what is termed maladaptive proximal tubule (PT) repair, a process that occurs in response to AKI and is marked by excessive inflammation. This PT maladaptation process offers an opportunity to identify noninvasive markers in blood or urine that could greatly aid in predicting AKI, managing ...

Smartwatches prove effective in detecting heart arrhythmias in children

A recent study published in the journal Communications Medicine discusses how smartwatches can facilitate the diagnosis of arrhythmias in children. Background Smartwatches and other wearable devices are becoming increasingly popular and allow users to constantly monitor their health, leading to their value for medical diagnosis becoming well-recognized. While the utility of these devices for adults has been widely researched, including for cardiac health monitoring and reducing the time needed to detect symptomatic rhythms, little is known about how they can be used to monitor child health indicators. Palpitations and abnormalities in cardiac rhythms are a leading cause of referrals in pediatric cardiology. However, existing non-invasive methods like patch rhythm monitors are not always effective in diagnosing arrhythmias, as symptoms often present infrequently, and children cannot wear monitors for as long as adults. Invasive methods such as implantable loop monitors (ILR) allow long-term monitoring. However, this approach may not be ideal ...

Self-Heating Microfluidic Devices Can Detect Diseases in Tiny Blood or Fluid Samples

Microfluidics, which are miniature devices that control the flow of liquids and facilitate chemical reactions, play a key role in disease detection from small samples of blood or other fluids. Commonly known examples include at-home Covid-19 test kits, which use basic microfluidic technology. However, more complex microfluidic applications often require chemical reactions at precise temperatures. Typically, these advanced devices are produced in clean rooms and include heating elements made of expensive materials like gold or platinum, making the manufacturing process costly and challenging to scale. Researchers have now made a breakthrough by employing 3D printing to build self-heating microfluidic devices, potentially paving the way for the creation of affordable and efficient tools that could detect various diseases. Scientists at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT, Cambridge, MA, USA) innovatively utilized multimaterial 3D printing to fabricate microfluidic devices with integrated heating elements. This development allows for precise temperature control of fluids ...

AI-Enabled Prescription Digital Therapeutics Should Be An Investment Priority

To identify true growth opportunities, investors must consider how companies are using AI to revolutionize the treatment journey. Some companies are doing just that via Software as a Medical Device (SaMD), particularly by developing prescription digital therapeutics (PDTs). By DAVID B. KLEIN The excitement around artificial intelligence has been palpable for some time, dominating industry discussions and mobilizing capital for investment opportunities, but as of late, there’s been a change in the air. The optimism that reached a fever pitch in the first half of the year has dissipated. Now begins the hard work of sorting through what it all means. As the healthcare industry responds to the burgeoning opportunities AI presents, especially in developing new, more effective therapeutics and enabling access to treatment, it’s critical that investors prioritize proof over positivity. They must determine if a company’s AI strategy will lead to a high return on investment, or if ...
