The latest software, the eighth generation of Swoop® system
software, has obtained CE and UKCA approval
Hyperfine, Inc. (Nasdaq: HYPR), the groundbreaking medical
device company that has redefined brain imaging with the world’s
first FDA-cleared portable magnetic resonance brain imaging
system—the Swoop® system—today announced the launch of the
AI-powered eighth generation of Swoop® system software. The
software’s diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) AI denoising feature
received U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) clearance in
October 2023, and it has been rolled out at select sites over the
past several weeks through a limited market release. The latest
software improves Swoop® system image quality and introduces
valuable ease-of-use features, including a real-time aid for more
precise patient loading and positioning and a streamlined image
upload process.

With CE and UKCA certifications for this latest software,
Hyperfine, Inc. is well positioned for future international
expansion, bringing the Swoop® system to a broader global
market.
“Our latest AI-powered software, the eighth generation of our
proprietary software platform, embodies our commitment to
supporting clinicians in critical decision-making,” remarked Tom
Teisseyre PhD, Chief Operating Officer of Hyperfine, Inc. “Our
focus on image quality with this latest software has been on the
DWI sequence, which is key in stroke imaging. Since its first FDA
clearance in 2020, we’ve been dedicated to continually enhancing
image quality and workflow efficiencies to define best-in-class,
user-centric, ultra-low field MR brain imaging.”
Over 50 exams were performed in hospitals taking part in the
limited market release phase, and users commented favorably on DWI
image quality. Participating sites confirmed that the new
streamlined upload feature materially shortened upload completion
times, and the fast-positioning check was a time-saving aid and
helped improve image acquisition.
“The software update on the Swoop® system has been most
beneficial to our workflow. We are now able to view each series as
it is being performed and can communicate with the technologist
whether additional series are needed. Additionally, we can
communicate with clinicians any critical findings in real-time
without having to wait for the whole study to be completed," says
Jennifer Villa Frabizzio MD, neuroradiologist, Radiology Group of
Abington.
Hyperfine, Inc. will roll out software updates for the Swoop®
system to users in the coming weeks.

About Hyperfine, Inc. and the Swoop® Portable MR Imaging®
System
Hyperfine, Inc. (Nasdaq: HYPR) is the groundbreaking medical
technology company that has redefined brain imaging with the Swoop®
system—the world’s first FDA-cleared, portable, ultra-low-field,
magnetic resonance brain imaging system capable of providing
imaging at multiple points of care. The Swoop® system received
initial U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) clearance in 2020.
It is a portable ultra-low-field magnetic resonance brain imaging
device for producing images that display the internal structure of
the head where a 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 has been approved for brain imaging in several
countries, including Canada and Australia, has UKCA certification
in the United Kingdom, CE certification in the European Union, and
is also available in New Zealand.
The mission of Hyperfine, Inc. is to revolutionize patient care
globally through transformational, accessible, clinically relevant
diagnostic imaging and data solutions. Founded by Dr. Jonathan
Rothberg in a technology-based incubator called 4Catalyzer,
Hyperfine, Inc. scientists, engineers, and physicists developed the
Swoop® system out of a passion for redefining brain imaging
methodology and how clinicians can apply accessible diagnostic
imaging to patient care. Traditionally, access to costly,
stationary, conventional MRI technology can be inconvenient or not
available when needed most. With the portable, ultra-low-field
Swoop® system, Hyperfine, Inc. is redefining the neuroimaging
workflow by bringing brain imaging to the patient’s bedside. For
