By GlobalDataZetrOZ Systems founder and CEO George Lewis said: “We’re thrilled that the sam wearable ultrasound unit is now FDA-cleared for expanded medical indications.
“Dozens of studies over the last decade have shown that our sustained acoustic medicine technology effectively treats numerous types of injuries. This FDA clearance will make it easier for doctors and their patients to utilise our ultrasound treatment to speed injury healing without the need for oral medication, corticosteroids, or surgery.”
Said to be the only FDA-cleared wearable ultrasound unit approved for daily home use, the sam 2.0 device is protected by 46 patents in the US and documented in 42 peer-reviewed publications and 20 clinical studies across various levels.
The development of ZetrOZ’s technology was partially funded by institutions, including the National Institute of Health, the National Science Foundation, the Department of Defense, and Nasa.
