Focal Healthcare Receives FDA 510(k) Clearance and Health Canada Approval for Fusion Bxtm 2.0


TORONTO, Nov. 1, 2018 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Focal Healthcare, an innovator of image-guided prostate cancer technology, announced it has received both FDA 510(k) clearance and Health Canada approval for its Fusion Bxtm 2.0 prostate biopsy solution. The Fusion Bx 2.0 is now available for sale in the United States and Canada. This is the second generation of Focal Healthcare's prostate fusion biopsy device.

Fusion biopsies are quickly becoming the new standard of care in urological practices around the world. Using MRI to identify potential lesions and fusing this information to live ultrasound images creates a 3D model of the prostate that enables urologists to easily target specific regions for biopsy. As a result urologists can provide more accurate and meaningful prostate cancer diagnosis to their patients.

"We are committed to improving the state of prostate cancer care and with the Fusion Bx 2.0 we believe we have the most accurate and easy-to-use fusion biopsy system," said Chicuong La, CEO of Focal Healthcare. "The Fusion Bx 2.0 has been designed with the goal of eliminating many of the sources of inaccuracies that plague systems today. Additionally, we recognized early on that the urologist's time is incredibly valuable, so we made the interface easy to learn and operate. We are excited for the approvals and look forward to making our device accessible to urologists and their patients everywhere."

Focal Healthcare's new Fusion Bx 2.0 is equipped to help urologists perform fusion biopsy procedures even more efficiently and accurately than before. The new device features:
