Tensys Medical Inc has received 510(k) clearance from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for the TL-300, the company’s latest generation system. The TL-300 is a member of Tensys’ established T-Line family, which has successfully been used by over 50,000 patients since commercial launch. The T-Line technology accurately and continuously captures a patient’s beat-to-beat waveform and blood pressure in a completely noninvasive fashion, providing physicians with a stream of real-time hemodynamic data that is not possible using traditional noninvasive blood pressure (cuff) devices. Avoiding the blind-time associated with a deflated or inaccurate cuff can enhance hemodynamic monitoring, which has been definitively linked to improved clinical outcomes.

Siemens Healthcare recently received clearance from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for syngo Aortic ValveGuide, an integrated image processing software that helps cardiologists and cardiac surgeons prepare and perform transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR). The syngo Aortic ValveGuide automatically reconstructs a 3-D representation of the aortic root from cross-sectional images acquired with the angiography system and provides the best projection angle for the valve replacement. The software selects anatomical landmarks and overlays the 3-D image with 2-D images acquired during live fluoroscopy, enabling the physician to obtain real-time 3-D guidance in the patient’s body while navigating the new valve to its intended location. This groundbreaking software, which is now available to customers, reflects the spirit of Siemens Healthcare’s Agenda 2013 — a recently announced two-year initiative designed in part to strengthen the Healthcare Sector's innovative power and competitiveness.
