US FDA Clears Hitachi's High-Value Supria 16-Slice CT System
6 October 2015 - - The US FDA has granted US market clearance to Japanese technology company Hitachi, Ltd.'s (TSX: 6501) Supria 16-slice CT system, the company's US-based Hitachi Medical Systems America, Inc. unit said on Tuesday.

According to Hitachi, the new Supria 16 features a remarkably compact design and provides Smart-Dose compliant (XR-29) lower dose patient safety capabilities.

Supria 16 combines the latest dose saving technologies in a compact design with enhanced patient access features to comfortably accommodate a range of patient sizes, including bariatric patients. Supria 16 can be sited in a scan room as small as 200 sq. ft.

In clinical use, dose saving features may reduce CT patient dose depending on the clinical task, patient size, anatomical location and clinical practices employed.

Consultation with a radiologist and physicist are recommended to determine the appropriate dose needed to obtain diagnostic image quality for a particular clinical task.

Hitachi Medical Systems America, Inc., located in Twinsburg, Ohio, a wholly owned subsidiary of Hitachi Medical Corp. offers a range of diagnostic imaging equipment including MRI, CT and ultrasound.
