The US FDA has published final guidance to provide clarification for industry and agency staff on federal regulations of diagnostic X-ray equipment.

Altoida CEO Marc Jones spoke with Medtech Insight about the company’s investigational digital screening tool for Alzheimer’s and the dire need for better, more accessible precision neurology diagnostics as the global population ages, neurologist shortages worsen, and groundbreaking Alzheimer’s drugs change the treatment paradigm.

The US FDA is providing recommendations for sponsors conducting clinical trials outside traditional settings, such as individual homes, mobile research units, and remotely via telehealth participation. The agency says the guidance is part of an overall effort to advance how trials are designed and run.

Edwards Lifesciences’ Critical Care business “invented the hemodynamic monitoring category, and its solutions are currently used in more than 10,000 hospitals globally to better understand the cardiovascular condition in real-time for critically ill patients, which helps improve outcomes,” says BD, which sees synergies and new innovation opportunities across the groups’ data sets and platforms. Acquired for $4.2bn cash, Critical Care generated more than $900m in revenue in 2023.
