HemoSonics Wins Two Medical Device Network Excellence Awards
The Medical Device Network Excellence Awards is an independent recognition program powered by the business intelligence of GlobalData. Researchers and journalists, along with artificial Intelligence, analyze over one billion datasets during the year, then recognize, endorse, and rank top-tier companies and their achievements in 200+ countries. During the evaluation period, HemoSonics secured 510(k) clearance for the QStat® Cartridge from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), allowing its Quantra Hemostasis System to be used in laboratory and point-of-care settings for trauma and liver transplantation procedures. HemoSonics also received an innovative technology contract award from Vizient, opening the door for the System to be adopted by hospitals and academic medical centers across the United States.
“These awards validate the hard work and dedication of the HemoSonics team and our healthcare partners to advance technology that improves patient care and outcomes,” said Bob Roda, President and CEO of HemoSonics. “At the same time, we are just getting started. We will continue to innovate and bring to the healthcare marketplace new technology solutions to support our clinical partners and hospitals transform patient care, preserve blood, and reduce healthcare resource utilization.”
The Quantra Hemostasis System consists of the Quantra Hemostasis Analyzer with QPlus® and QStat Cartridges. Quantra is FDA-cleared for use in point-of-care settings, such as operating rooms, intensive care units, and in hospital laboratories, and requires minimal resources to maintain, operate, and to interpret. HemoSonics’ medical device technology is proven to help patients and hospitals: a 2023 Journal of Cardiothoracic Surgery study showed the Quantra Hemostasis System reduced blood component transfusions between 10% and >90%. This led to a 41% decrease in the cost of blood products – a major expense for hospitals. It is also recognized that with improved outcomes supported by reduced exposure to risky blood component therapy, additional cost and efficiency benefits are realized.
