The publication includes a subset of data from
the ACTION PMR stroke study and provides early evidence that the
Swoop® system is a promising tool for enabling critical stroke
treatment choices in urgent care settings.
Hyperfine (Nasdaq: HYPR), the groundbreaking health technology
company that has redefined brain imaging with the first FDA-cleared
portable magnetic resonance (MR) brain imaging system—the Swoop®
system—today highlights the results from a multi-site observational
study that showed the value of using Swoop® system images to
quickly assess stroke patients and help guide physicians making
critical treatment decisions. This publication marks the first to
include a subset of ACTION PMR study data and shows encouraging
results.
The study, entitled "Diffusion-Weighted Imaging and
Fluid-Attenuated Inversion Recovery Mismatch on Portable, Low-Field
Magnetic Resonance Imaging Among Acute Stroke Patients,” will be
published in the August 2024 issue of the Annals of Neurology. It
included 71 patients and was conducted by a team from several
institutions, including Massachusetts General Hospital and the
University at Buffalo, two of the centers in the ACTION PMR
study.
"Our goal is to assess whether portable, ultra-low-field MRI can
be used as a tissue clock to characterize acute stroke, which has
the potential to inform treatments and improve outcomes. Thus far,
we have convincing data on FLAIR showing that this is, in fact, the
case," said Dr. Taylor Kimberly, Chief of the Division of
Neurocritical Care at Massachusetts General Hospital, one of the
lead authors.
“We would like to congratulate Dr. Kimberly and all the authors
on this elegant study demonstrating the Swoop® system’s utility in
stroke management,” said Edmond A. Knopp, MD, Hyperfine Vice
President of Medical Affairs. “We eagerly await additional analysis
of the entire ACTION PMR dataset, which we believe will show the
benefit that Swoop® system images can bring to the overall care and
management of patients presenting with symptoms of acute cerebral
ischemic disease.”
The Acute Ischemic Stroke Detection with Portable MR (ACTION
PMR) study is a prospective, international, multi-site
observational study that aims to examine the integration of brain
imaging with the portable Swoop® system into the stroke diagnosis
and treatment workflow. ACTION PMR has already enrolled over 100
patients at four institutions and is composed of a series of
investigator-sponsored studies. The initial 100 patients allow for
a direct comparison of stroke detection between ultra-low-field
MRI, conventional high-field MRI, and CT as a means to assess the
capability of stroke detection of the Swoop® system. The study will
continue into a workflow phase starting later this year, evaluating
the ease of access and versatility of using the Swoop® system in
emergency departments and stroke centers within hospital
networks.

About the Swoop® Portable MR Imaging® System
The Swoop® Portable MR Imaging® system is U.S. Food and Drug
Administration (FDA) cleared for brain imaging of patients of all
ages. It is a portable, ultra-low-field magnetic resonance imaging
device for producing images that display the internal structure of
the head where full diagnostic examination is not clinically
practical. When interpreted by a trained physician, these images
provide information that can be useful in determining a diagnosis.
The Swoop® system also has CE certification in the European Union
and UKCA certification in the United Kingdom. The Swoop® system is
commercially available in a select number of international
markets.
