Escalon Medical Corp. has announced that its subsidiary Sonomed, Inc. has received 510(k) clearance from the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to market the MASTER-VU(TM) ophthalmic B-scan ultrasound system. The MASTER-VU(TM) System contains a B-scan probe, which can be interfaced to a standard personal computer. Barry Durante, President, Sonomed, said, "The FDA clearance, along with the previously received CE certification, will allow Sonomed to market this new breakthrough instrumentation worldwide. With computers becoming standard in most ophthalmic physician offices, purchasing the probe and software offers complete portability for use in multiple locations. Loading the software in computers in multiple offices allows the physician to carry only the probe from office to office. We expect that the MASTER-VU(TM) will be a valuable addition to our product line in both the U.S. and international marketplace."
