Ergo Portable Nuclear Imaging System Receives 510(k) Clearance

Digirad Corp. of Poway, CA has received 510(k) clearance from the FDA to begin marketing its Ergo mobile nuclear imaging system. Thanks to its solid-state gamma camera, the Ergo provides a degree of portability and flexibility not previously seen in the field. Imaging studies can be conducted in the nuclear medicine department or brought to the patient, saving time and improving patient satisfaction while delivering high quality results. The large field, solid-state gamma camera also expands the reach of portable nuclear imaging to areas outside cardiology and oncology, offering a 12.25 x 15.5 inch field of view, an intrinsic spatial resolution of 3.25 mm, an energy resolution of 7.9%, and 5 Mcps.
Digirad plans to begin shipping production units in June to hospitals in the US and abroad.
