FDA clears Synaptive’s smaller, point-of-care MRI scanner

Synaptive Medical received an FDA clearance for its slightly miniaturized and more-manageable MRI system, the second such device to receive the agency’s green light in as many months. Though larger and less-portable compared to Hyperfine Research’s wheeled MRI system—which netted a clearance in February, and is made to be moved to and from a patient’s bedside—Synaptive’s Evry scanner is still designed for the point-of-care setting.
