SAN JOSE, Calif.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–NDS Surgical Imaging
(NDSsi) today announced it received Health Canada approval for its ZeroWire®
wireless surgical video technology. Utilizing the ultra-wideband (UWB) frequency
spectrum to minimize interference, ZeroWire delivers full high-definition video
(1080p60) in the OR with less than 1 frame latency, giving surgical teams a
wireless solution for a wide range of interventional procedures. The Health
Canada approval extends ZeroWires global marketability, with the product
already approved for sale in the U.S.,
Europe, China, Japan, and Chile since its introduction in
March 2010.
“NDSsi is pleased to have received Health Canada approval
for ZeroWire, advancing wireless OR technology for the Canadian healthcare
industry,” said Fred Parks, CEO of NDSsi. “Our commitment to performance
through design has led to a rapid global adoption of the ZeroWire product, with
a growing number of modern ORs going wireless to enhance clinical efficiency.”
The ZeroWire solution is comprised of a memory-enabled
transmitter and receiver pairing system. In compliance with the EN 60601-1-2
standard, ZeroWire is designed specifically for the transmission challenges of
the surgical environment. The mobility of the wireless system gives surgical
staff tremendous flexibility in monitor placement, and the elimination of
cables removes clutter and reduces cleaning time. ZeroWire offers easy
installation, immediate connectivity, and image quality comparable to a wired
solution.
“Our customers worldwide are now enjoying the benefits of a
cost-efficient, high-quality wireless video link in the OR,” said Jens Ruppert,
Vice President & General Manager, Surgical Business Unit at NDSsi. “We look
forward to releasing the ZeroWire technology in Canada, and providing more surgical
teams with the wireless flexibility theyve been looking for.”
NDSsi at MEDICA 2011 – The ZeroWire technology will be
demonstrated during the MEDICA World Forum for Medicine International Trade
Fair, November 16 – 19 in Dusseldorf,
Germany (Hall
10, Stand F14). For more information on NDSsis ZeroWire technology solution,
