OcuSciences, a medical device company developing advanced ocular imaging technologies to help clinicians better understand retinal dystrophies and other leading causes of blindness, today announced that it has received EU CE clearance for its OcuMet Beacon, a breakthrough diagnostic instrument designed to enhance the assessment of eye health.
In conjunction with this regulatory milestone, OcuSciences has deployed OcuMet Beacons in leading medical centers across Europe and the United Kingdom, marking a significant step forward in its mission to transform eye care globally.
EU CE clearance confirms that the OcuMet Beacon meets the stringent health, safety, and environmental protection standards required for commercialization across the European Economic Area. This achievement underscores OcuSciences' commitment to delivering innovative, reliable, and accessible imaging solutions that empower eye care professionals worldwide.
"Securing CE clearance is a major milestone for OcuSciences and reflects our dedication to advancing the standard of care in ophthalmology," said Kurt Riegger, CEO of OcuSciences. "The growing adoption of our technology by leading ophthalmic clinical centers across Europe highlights its unique value and diagnostic potential to improve disease detection and management and particularly helpful in monitoring treatment."
The initial installations span prominent research institutions, hospitals, and specialized ophthalmic centers in Germany, England, and Wales. Each site will integrate the OcuMet Beacon into its clinical studies and research programs, further validating the technology's real-world impact and driving advancements in ocular imaging.
According to the World Health Organization, more than 2.2 billion people worldwide experience vision impairment, making earlier and more detailed assessment essential for effective treatment. By deploying the OcuMet Beacon, OcuSciences aims to equip clinicians with the tools needed to detect disease earlier and improve outcomes for patients around the world.
