ControlRad’s Imaging System Radiation Reducer Cleared

ControlRad has received 510(k) clearance from the FDA for ControlRad Select, a device that reduces radiation for Siemens Healthineers’ Artis Zee interventional imaging systems.

The product uses semi-transparent filters, a user interface tablet and image processing algorithms that are retrofitted onto Siemens’ interventional imaging systems to reduce radiation doses by 85 percent in cath, electrophysiology and interventional radiology labs without reducing image quality, the company said.

The Atlanta, Georgia company has reached an exclusive agreement with Boston Scientific to market the newly cleared device.
