Toshiba America Medical Systems said Monday a new Kalare radiography and fluoroscopy imaging system received the Food and Drug Administration's 510(k) clearance.
The Tustin, Calif.-based subsidiary of the Japanese conglomerate said the HDR-08A Imaging System offers a more intuitive user interface and better image processing, with an increased dynamic range for fluoroscopy.
“With an improved user interface and increased dynamic range, more exams can be performed with increased diagnostic confidence,” Stephen Bumb, director of the X-ray Vascular Business Unit with Toshiba, said in a statement.
The first U.S. installation of Kalare happened in 2004, according to a Toshiba release.
