Radiaction Medical has announced the formation of its US medical advisory board.
The advisory board will provide expertise to the company’s executive team, aiding its mission to deliver comprehensive radiation protection to all medical staff involved in interventional procedures.
“Radiaction’s new medical advisory board is an important step that I am incredibly proud of,” said Chris Barys, president, US operations of Radiaction Medical. “Bringing together a group of experts of this calibre will accelerate our team’s ability to align our mission with the day to day needs of our customers. We look forward to leveraging their individual expertise as we develop and implement the world’s first robotic radiation protection solution.”
Members will serve as a resource for Radiaction’s efforts to develop an approach to radiation protection that exceeds the capabilities of current technologies on the market. This includes a device that attaches to the C-arm to block radiation at the source. The device is regulated by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and meets the highest standards of safety and efficacy.
“Over the course of my career, scatter radiation and its occupational hazards have affected many of my staff and colleagues. There have been a number of technologies that have emerged to reduce scatter while addressing workflow and patient access concerns,” said William Gray (Thomas Jefferson University, Philadelphia, USA). “In my opinion, Radiaction’s system provides an intuitive solution by blocking scatter radiation at the source. This allows for procedural versatility, easy setup, and immediate patient access during urgent or emergent clinical situations. As a class II device, it is held to a higher standard by the FDA, requiring the generation of scientific data for its use. I view this as a natural accessory with C-arm systems to protect everyone in the lab during all procedures. I am proud to be on this journey with the Radiaction team.”
Advisory board members include: Kenneth Rosenfield (Massachusetts General Hospital, Boston, USA), Nadia Sutton (Vanderbilt University Medical Center, Nashville, USA), William Gray (Thomas Jefferson University, Philadelphia, USA), Craig Walker (Tulane University School of Medicine, New Orleans, USA), Jasvindar Singh (Washington University School of Medicine, Barnes-Jewish Hospital, St Louis, USA), Evan Shlofmitz (St Francis Hospital—The Heart Center, Roslyn, USA) and Michael S Gossman (Baptist Health Floyd, New Albany, USA).
