Mauna Kea chief executive officer Robert L Gershon said: “This new FDA clearance of our Cellvizio platform in combination with a fluorescent dye is a major regulatory milestone for Mauna Kea Technologies. It validates the wealth of data that have been published over the past decade that demonstrates its important clinical contribution.

“This FDA clearance will greatly facilitate our commercial development in the United States by allowing the fluorescein dye to be directly supplied with Cellvizio. This clearance is another step for Mauna Kea Technologies in accelerated development of drug-device combination indications, enabling the clinical use of Cellvizio with highly specific molecular imaging markers.”
