Atlanta-Based EndoChoice Approved To Market Full-Spectrum Endoscopy System In Canada

01/20/2014
An Atlanta, Georgia-based medtech company EndoChoice received license approval from Health Canada to market its innovative Fuse Full-Spectrum Endoscopy system.

The Fuse endoscopy system is comprised of colonoscopes and gastroscopes with multiple imagers enabling doctors to see more of the GI tract for diagnosis and treatment. Standard, forward-viewing endoscopy systems have a single imager so clinicians are switching to the Fuse system in an effort to improve the quality of their procedures.

The Health Canada license means its Fuse system will be the first endoscopy equipment available with expanded viewing capabilities to reach Canadian patients, the company said. Endoscopes are thin flexible tubes with imaging capabilities that doctors use to view the upper and lower GI tracts of their patients.

The news from Health Canada enables EndoChoice to begin delivering Fuse endoscopy systems to their gastroenterology specialist customers throughout Canada. "We intend to gain market clearance in several more countries in the near future," said Mark Gilreath, Founder and CEO at EndoChoice. "While 2013 has been an exciting year for our company, the introduction of Fuse into Canada and other markets will enable us to make 2014 even more dynamic as we bring this game-changing technology to more clinicians."

EndoChoice is a medtech company focused on the manufacturing and commercialization of platform technologies including devices, diagnostics, infection control and endoscopic imaging for specialists treating a wide range of gastrointestinal diseases. EndoChoice leverages its direct sales organization to serve more than 2,000 customers in the United States and works with 34 distribution partners world-wide. The Company was founded in 2008 and has rapidly developed a proprietary product portfolio.
