FDA recently clears next generation CT injector

Bayer will also showcase the latest addition to its CT product portfolio, the MEDRAD(R) Centargo CT Injection System, which recently received 510(k) clearance from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). As a multi-patient system, Centargo allows radiology technologists to do less by automating tasks, enabling them more time to focus on patient care, specifically in high-throughput settings. As a smart injector powered by foundational connectivity and cybersecurity, Centargo may also be paired with workflow solutions offerings to help alleviate administrative burdens.

Following regulatory approval in Europe and Canada in 2020, the product has already been launched in 49 markets to date and can now deliver value for radiology departments in the US which is facing a shortage of radiology technologists coupled with a rising demand for medical imaging.

Fostering innovation in Radiology AI

In more than 40 thought leadership presentations, Bayer’s Medical, Regulatory and Product AI team members from CalanticTM Digital Solutions, Blackford Analysis, and other Bayer Radiology solutions will moderate and showcase insights to help healthcare providers, hospital administrators and developers advance their AI strategy, discussing topics like medical, regulatory, security, and compliance challenges in the field of AI in medical imaging, and how to bring AI-enabled healthcare solutions to market. Developed by radiologists for radiologists, Calantic™ Digital Solutions coordinates various third-party app solutions into a single convenient, cloud-based marketplace. Bayer is also announcing that it will collaborate with new radiology AI technology providers: Rad AI and AIRS Medical for its operational AI service line as well as Contextflow, Gleamer, AZmed, Smart Soft Healthcare, and Lucida Medical for its clinical service lines to further expand its offering on Calantic™ Digital Solutions.
