Hyperfine Announces FDA Clearance of Software Update That Enables Faster Acquisition of Best-in-Class Ultra-Low-Field Brain Images
July 17 2024 - 9:00AM
Business Wire
The total number of Hyperfine AI-powered
marketing authorizations places the company in a leading position
on recently published FDA list.
Hyperfine (Nasdaq: HYPR), the groundbreaking medical device
company that has redefined brain imaging with the world’s first
FDA-cleared portable magnetic resonance brain imaging system—the
Swoop® system—today announced the clearance of the ninth generation
of AI-powered Swoop® system software. This advanced software
significantly reduces scan times across multiple MR sequences
without sacrificing image quality. The U.S. Food and Drug
Administration (FDA) clearance of this software further solidifies
Hyperfine as a leader in AI-powered health technology.
These scan time reductions may enable Swoop® system images to
help speed up the diagnostic process in acute care settings, which
is crucial for time-sensitive medical conditions such as stroke,
where every second counts. Reducing the overall acquisition time
for sequences can also decrease the negative impact of patient
motion on image quality.
Professor Adnan Siddiqui, MD, PhD, from the University of
Buffalo, emphasized the impact of rapid imaging capabilities,
saying, “Timely MR brain imaging is essential for clinicians making
critical treatment decisions, particularly in acute neurological
episodes like strokes. We have been an active site in the ACTION
PMR study assessing the use of the Swoop® system in stroke
diagnosis, and this latest software will help the Swoop® system
more seamlessly integrate into stroke workflows. It is wonderful to
see Hyperfine respond quickly to clinical feedback and continue to
innovate to improve the Swoop® system.”
The total number of Hyperfine AI-powered marketing
authorizations places the company in a leading position on the
FDA’s Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning (AI/ML)-Enabled
Medical Devices1 list, underscoring the commitment of Hyperfine to
leveraging AI to advance ultra-low-field portable MR brain imaging
technology and improve patient care.
“With the release of our ninth-generation AI-powered software,
we continue to broaden the clinical utility and workflow fit of the
Swoop® system,” said Tom Teisseyre, Chief Operating Officer at
Hyperfine. “The balance between speed and image quality is crucial
in acute care settings where early and timely information is
essential to inform the best decisions for patients. We’re proud of
every step we’ve taken with the Swoop® system, learning from and
responding to our user base and the broader medical community.”

About the Swoop® Portable MR Imaging® System
The Swoop® Portable MR Imaging® system is U.S. Food and Drug
Administration (FDA) cleared for brain imaging of patients of all
ages. It is a portable, ultra-low-field magnetic resonance imaging
device for producing images that display the internal structure of
the head where full diagnostic examination is not clinically
practical. When interpreted by a trained physician, these images
provide information that can be useful in determining a diagnosis.
The Swoop® system also has CE certification in the European Union
and UKCA certification in the United Kingdom. The Swoop® system is
commercially available in a select number of international
markets.
