Actuated Medical has announced it has received FDA clearance for its TubeClear system, according to a news release.
The system is designed to clear nasogastric feeding and decompression tubes and prevent disruptions in feeding and medication delivery.
"Clogging is a significant problem occurring in approximately 25 percent of feeding and decompression tubes," said Maureen Mulvihill, PhD, president of Actuated Medical, in the release. "Our TubeClear system has proven to be both fast and consistently effective. In fact, our studies show it to be at least seven times faster than current approaches. It allows caregivers to quickly reinstate feeding and medication regimens without removing and replacing tubes. In this new era of healthcare cost containment, it will certainly help organizations save significant time and money."
Actuated Medical is headquartered in Bellefonte, Pa.
