IRADIMED (NASDAQ:IRMD), a leader in the development of innovative magnetic resonance imaging (“MRI”) medical devices, today announced receipt of regulatory clearance from the Japanese Ministry of Health Labor & Welfare for the IRADIMED 3880 MRI compatible patient vital signs monitoring system.

As quoted in the press release:

“This is an important win for IRADIMED as Japanese regulatory authorities now require higher levels of patient care during MRI procedures. These new guidelines have increased the need for monitoring patient vital signs during an MRI and our 3880 MRI compatible patient vital signs monitor is well-positioned to take advantage of this growing market,” said Roger Susi, President and Chief Executive Officer of the Company.

IRADIMED designed the 3880 MRI compatible patient vital signs monitoring system using non-magnetic components and other special features enabling the safe and accurate monitoring of a patient’s vital signs during various MRI procedures. The IRADIMED 3880 MRI compatible patient vital signs monitoring system has an easy-to-use design and allows for the effective communication of patient vital signs information to clinicians.

Additionally, the IRADIMED 3880 MRI compatible patient vital signs monitoring system’s compact and lightweight design enables uninterrupted vital signs monitoring while transporting patients from their critical care unit, to the MRI and back, resulting in increased patient safety and decreasing the amount of time critically ill patients are away from critical care units.
