Receipt of FDA 510(k) clearance follows the recent commercial launch of EOSedge in Europe, Canada and Australia. A press release reports that EOSedge is the first general X-ray system powered by a high-resolution photon counting detector, delivering optimal image quality for outstanding musculoskeletal imaging exams.

After the launch in Europe, Canada and Australia, we are now ready to address the American market and offer the latest major innovation in orthopaedic imaging to clinicians and patients in these key markets.”
