MRI accessories developer IRadimed said it has begun shipping its 3880 MRI-compatible patient vital signs monitor to customers outside of the U.S.
The 3880 system features a compact, lightweight design and can be operated in magnetic fields up to 30,000 gauss, according to the vendor. As a result, it can be used even near the MRI scanner bore, IRadimed said.
The firm said it's working to obtain U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) 510(k) clearance for the 3880 monitor and hopes to launch U.S. sales in the second half of 2017.
