Regulatory News:
Mauna Kea Technologies (Euronext Growth: ALMKT),
inventor of Cellvizio®, the multidisciplinary probe and
needle-based confocal laser endomicroscopy (p/nCLE) platform, is
pleased to announce that Dr. Carlos Robles-Medranda, and his
dedicated team at the Instituto Ecuatoriano de Enfermedades
Digestivas y Pélvicas (IECED) located within OMNI Hospital in
Guayaquil, Ecuador, achieved a significant milestone. Over the past
18 months, this skilled medical team has successfully performed
more than 700 advanced endoscopic procedures utilizing the
Cellvizio® platform, demonstrating the value of this technology in
supporting accelerated detection and diagnosis, and guiding
informed treatment for patient care using high-quality, real-time,
in vivo cellular imaging.
The IECED-OMNI Hospital (https://ieced.com.ec), internationally
renowned for its expertise in digestive and pelvic disease
management, is a key player of Ecuador's Endoscopy Network-a
comprehensive healthcare network operating over 10 top-tier
facilities nationwide and a world-renowned training center for
interventional endoscopists, endorsed by the World Endoscopy
Organization (WEO). Under the leadership of Dr. Robles-Medranda, a
respected expert in therapeutic endoscopy, the IECED team has
adopted and integrated the Cellvizio® platform into routine
clinical practice in the field of gastroenterology, allowing for
improved diagnostic accuracy and more targeted therapeutic
interventions.
“Confocal Laser Endomicroscopy is a key adjunct to our endoscopy
armamentarium at IECED, addressing a variety of indications in
gastroenterology“, declared Dr. Carlos Robles-Medranda,
Director General of IECED. “For pancreatic cyst and biliary
stricture characterization, early gastric cancer detection or
identification of previously undetectable food intolerances,
endomicroscopy plays a vital role for our physicians and patients.
I have been a user and developer of endomicroscopic applications
for more than a decade and could not be more thrilled to see how
this technology has taken a key role in these indications. We
continuously explore new ways to use this unique technology in
combination with other platforms and AI."
Sacha Loiseau, Ph.D., Chairman and CEO of Mauna Kea
Technologies added: "We are very proud to see renowned experts
like Dr. Robles-Medranda adopt and utilize our platform so
extensively across diverse clinical applications, underscoring the
unique value of Cellvizio in the daily practice of many physicians
and its capability to handle high volumes. I am very excited to see
this adoption expand further, in particular in South America where
IECED plays a key role.”
