MedX Health Corp. Announces CE Mark for Its MOLEMATE(TM)/SIMSYS(TM)
Skin Cancer Imaging Systems
MISSISSAUGA, ONTARIO--(Marketwired - Feb 12, 2014) - MedX Health
Corp. ("MedX" or the "Company") (TSX-VENTURE:MDX), a leader in skin
cancer imaging and diagnostics, announced receipt of a CE Mark from
Conformite Europeenne, which allows the Company to market its
MoleMate and SIMSYS systems in Europe to dermatologists and to
expand further its pharmacy-based sales channel.
"Adding CE approval to our existing Health Canada and FDA
approvals is a very positive development" noted Rob von der Porten,
President and CEO. "This allows us to expand our sales effort into
all countries in the European Union. While skin cancer is the one
of the most curable cancers if caught early, statistics indicate
that it is one of the least screened-for cancers; our technology
can be rolled-out to many health related facilities, including
community health centers, clinics and pharmacies, thereby
facilitating early screening which could save lives, but also
reduce the number of unnecessary biopsies, two outcomes which would
cut the burgeoning costs of health care as well as reduce patient
anxiety and suffering."
"Over the past years, [MoleMate/SIMSYS] has been a great tool at
reassuring patients that a lesion was benign if my exam alone was
not enough to comfort them," says Dr. R.H. Falcon, Dermatologist,
New York, NY. "Surprisingly in a few patients that I was worried
clinically had Melanoma, who for whatever reason did not want a
biopsy, I have been able to show them on the device the signs of
the cancerous lesions and convince them to let me remove it. I can
honestly say in the years since I have the device, I have been able
to save some lives by convincing a patient they needed a lesion
removed and were only convinced once they saw the image on the
screen."
Leading European Dermatologist, Giuseppe Argenziano, M.D.
recently conducted an internal study to evaluate the efficacy and
accuracy of the MedX SIAscopy technology and device, notes "The
MedX MoleMate system is an advanced screening device used in the
early detection of skin cancer (melanoma) and precancerous skin
lesions. The results of this study have been submitted and accepted
for publication soon to be released in the Skin Research and
Technology Journal." Dr. Argenziano is a leading expert in
Dermatascopy skin evaluation techniques and has been following the
development of the SIAscopy technology over the past 8 years.
Among the sophisticated equipment used by University of
California Irvine Melanoma Center, physicians are currently using
SIMSYS-MoleMate, "one of the most advanced melanoma imaging systems
in the world. For patients with many moles, this computer imaging
can make a big difference, it decreases the number of biopsies
needed, so they won't look like a pincushion," explained Dr. James
G. Jakowatz, surgical oncologist and UC Irvine Melanoma Center
director, Dr. Janellen Smith, UC Irvine dermatologist and
co-director of the Pigmented Lesion Program, UC Irvine.
