The Edison system is intended for the non-invasive destruction of liver tumours, including unresectable liver tumours, utilising a non-thermal, mechanical process of focused ultrasound.

Leveraging technology and advanced imaging, it delivers personalised, non-invasive histotripsy treatments with control and precision.

The FDA authorisation was partially based on data from the #HOPE4LIVER Trials conducted across 13 trial sites in Europe and the US.

Data gathered from both European/UK and US studies were utilised to evaluate the clinical efficacy and safety of histotripsy in eliminating targeted primary and secondary liver tumours.
