UVision360, based in Raleigh, North Carolina, has announced that its Luminelle DTx hysteroscopy and cystoscopy system is now FDA cleared. The device is designed to give doctors an option to perform hysteroscopy procedures in the office, without having to rely on more expensive OR equipment.
“Since the best technology is typically only available in the operating room, many physicians and patients opt to skip the hysteroscopy and either perform a blind biopsy or go straight to surgery, without taking a good look inside of the uterus,” in a statement said Dr. Amy Garcia, MD, FACOG, Institute for Hysteroscopy Training, Albuquerque, NM. “An in-office system that is easy to use, prevents a blind biopsy and allows the physician to offer either a therapeutic diagnosis or a biopsy under visualization elevates the standard for uterine care.”
The Luminelle DTx essentially combines the features of more conventional hysteroscopy and cystoscopy systems, allowing imaging of the internal lining of the uterus and performing a biopsy in a single session. UVision360 claims that using its product, physicians can save up to 75% when compared to some existing endoscopic tower systems. According to the company, “We accomplish this through employing the latest in
high-tech optics and our understanding of the clinicians’ behavior and practice. The Luminelle DTx Hysteroscopy System is designed to enable physicians to perform diagnostic and operative procedures in the office which patients may prefer.”
