FDA Marketing Approval for Pressure Ulcer Scanner

Bruin Biometrics, LLC (Los Angeles, CA), announced that its SEM Scanner, a wireless handheld device indicated for use as an adjunct to standard care for patients at risk for pressure ulcers, received US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) marketing authorization.

The scanner is the first-of-its-kind, FDA-approved device to alert clinicians to areas of a patient’s body before visible damage manifests at the skin surface. Readings from the device provide objective clinical information to facilitate earlier, anatomically specific interventions to reverse the damaging effects of pressure and shear.
