Sanovas wins FDA 510(k) clearance for PulmoVia
Sanovas said last week that it won FDA 510(k) clearance for its PulmoVia working channel, part of its platform designed to improve diagnostic and therapeutic interventions in the lung.

“We took a look at the paradigm of bronchial intervention and found it was limited by the spatial constraints of the items itself, and we wanted to evolve the whole process,” Gerrans said.
PulmoVia has a larger diameter than standard working channels, which allo...

Researchers develop non-invasive method to detect tumor-causing mutations in saliva
IMPACT
Current methods to screen for lung cancer mutations in plasma or blood are complicated, technique-dependent and not readily available. Electric field-induced release and measurement is a reliable method to detect tumor-causing, lung cancer mutations in saliva that would be non-invasive, cost-effective and rapid. Clinicians could also use this technology to adjust their therapeutic strategies in real-time, improving clinical outcomes.
FINDINGS
Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer-related deaths worldwide, accounting for 27 percent of all cancer deaths among both men and women, with about 225,000 new cases diagn...
