Hyperfine, Inc. Swoop® Portable MR Imaging® System Receives CE Marking After Meeting Comprehensive New EU MDR Regulations
22 February 2023 - 12:55AM
Hyperfine, Inc. (Nasdaq: HYPR), the groundbreaking medical device
company that created the Swoop® system, the world's first
FDA-cleared portable MRI system, today announced CE Marking for the
product. While the company will maintain its commercial focus in
the U.S. in 2023, CE Marking opens the door for potential future
commercial expansion into the European Economic Area (EEA).
To receive CE Marking, medical device companies must comply with
the European Commission Regulation (EU) No. 2017/745, commonly
known as the Medical Device Regulation (MDR). EU MDR dictates the
European distribution of medical devices, and compliance is
mandatory to legally market and sell products in the EEA. Recent
MDR mandates have raised the bar for manufacturers, requiring them
to meet more stringent guidelines, and placing increased importance
on a Clinical Evaluation Report (CER), a detailed analysis of
clinical data about a medical device to support safety and
performance.
“Receiving CE marking for our portable MRI system with
AI-powered imaging software is a significant achievement for our
company and enables opportunities for future geographic expansion
beyond our current commercial focus in the United States,” stated
Maria Sainz, president and CEO of Hyperfine, Inc. “The standard for
bringing medical devices to market in the EU has become
significantly more stringent under the new MDR regulations, and we
are proud to have accomplished compliance with these demanding
standards.”

About Hyperfine, Inc. and the Swoop® Portable MR
Imaging® SystemHyperfine, Inc. (NASDAQ: HYPR) is the
groundbreaking medical technology company that created the Swoop®
system, the world’s first FDA-cleared portable magnetic resonance
imaging (MRI) system capable of providing neuroimaging at the point
of care. The Swoop® system received initial U.S. Food and Drug
Administration (FDA) clearance in 2020 as a bedside magnetic
resonance imaging device for producing images that display the
internal structure of the head where full diagnostic examination is
not clinically practical. When interpreted by a trained physician,
these images provide information that can be useful in determining
a diagnosis. The Swoop® system has been approved for brain imaging
in several countries, including Canada and Australia, has UKCA
certification in the United Kingdom, CE certification in the
European Union, and is also available in New Zealand and
Pakistan.
The mission of Hyperfine, Inc. is to revolutionize patient care
globally through transformational, accessible, clinically relevant
diagnostic imaging, and data solutions. Founded by Dr. Jonathan
Rothberg in a technology-based incubator called 4Catalyzer,
Hyperfine, Inc. scientists, engineers, and physicists developed the
Swoop® system out of a passion for redefining brain imaging
methodology and how clinicians can apply accessible diagnostic
imaging to patient care. Traditionally, access to costly,
stationary, conventional MRI technology can be inconvenient or not
available when needed most. With the portable, ultra-low-field
Swoop® system, Hyperfine, Inc. is redefining the neuroimaging
workflow by bringing brain imaging to the patient’s bedside. For
