Solos Endoscopy announces new polymer dilator for MammoView Breast Endoscopy System

Feb 16 2010

Solos Endoscopy, Inc. (Pink Sheets: SNDY) is pleased to announce the Company has designed and is set to develop a new polymer dilator for the MammoView™ Breast Endoscopy System. The MammoView™ System currently offers a dilator set with a metal housing. The newly redesigned dilator utilizes a polymer housing, which is significantly softer while still offering comparable durability to the metal dilator. The new polymer dilator will be offered in addition to the more commonly used metal dilator. The two versions of the dilator offer physicians options based on individual patient's requirements.

Solos Endoscopy has evaluated several firms for the development of the new polymer dilator and is close to making its selection. Solos recently announced that the Company is in the process of creating a quality management system that meets the requirements of the ISO 13485 standard, which is a major step in obtaining the CE Mark and the permission to sell medical devices in the European Union and Canada. As a result of this announcement, candidates for the production of the new polymer dilator had to meet strict qualifications. In addition to their compliance with the FDA's Quality System Regulation, the candidates are also required to be ISO 13485 registered and create a CE Technical File for the new dilator.

"The new polymer dilator will be a valuable addition to our MammoView system," stated Bob Segersten, President of Solos Endoscopy, Inc. "The market for our product has been calling for a dilator that offers less discomfort to patients. We are pleased that Solos can soon offer this alternative."
