Certification of New Tumor Sensor Strengthens Growth
in Life-Science Sector
Berlin, June 6th
Silicon Sensor International AG today received medical product
certification for the license of the third generation of its tumor sensor
for all markets within the European Union. Through the combination of gamma
and PET diagnostics, the sensor enables not only direct identification and
analysis of cancer, but also the identification of lymph nodes affected by
cancer cells. It is used in surgical procedures.
With the tumor sensor, Silicon Sensor has a licensed medical product that
meets the latest requirements in terms of technical and ergonomic design
and sets itself apart in the market with its unique selling points. The
product was developed exclusively in-house and is characterized by
extremely precise tumor location that has never been achieved before.
The development of its own sensor systems for medical applications is an
important aspect of Silicon Sensor's corporate strategy. The life-science
market in particular presents numerous further possibilities for developing
innovative sensor systems thanks to the core competencies and experience of
the Silicon Sensor Group. In the case of the tumor sensor, the entire
value-added chain will be carried out in-house - from development of the
sensor component and sensor module through to product design and production
of the complete sensor system. This safeguards high product quality and the
achievement of a very good profit margin. Marketing of the tumor sensor is
scheduled to commence in fall 2011.
