About the VivoSight OCT System and Michelson Diagnostics
Michelson Diagnostics develops, manufactures and markets the VivoSight multi-beam Optical Coherence Tomography (‘OCT’) scanner; a point-of-care, real-time tissue imaging device. The patented technology, which has CE/TGA regulatory-clearance and FDA 510(k) approval in the United States, provides clinicians with continuous images of the epidermis and superficial dermis of the skin that can be interpreted by a medical professional. Given the unprecedented image resolution and image quality, VivoSight OCT has many potential clinical applications beyond the initial focus in dermatology.
The Company’s vision is for the VivoSight OCT system to become the standard-of-care for the non-invasive diagnosis and treatment monitoring of certain diseases and conditions that affect cutaneous and epithelial linings of the body. Michelson Diagnostics currently generates revenues from the first commercial application of VivoSight, in the diagnosis of non-melanoma skin cancer (NMSC).
VivoSight has regulatory approval in Europe, the USA and Australia, for use by trained clinicians in their assessment of the patient’s medical condition. In March 2014, the Company presented top line finding of its Level 1 Clinical Evidence study conducted in Germany at the 72nd Annual Meeting of the American Academy of Dermatology in Denver, Colorado, USA. The prospective, multi-centre 250 patient study showed statistically significant performance of the VivoSight system as compared to the current standard of care. VivoSight is currently sold in Germany where the scans are reimbursed for patients with private healthcare insurance. Further clinical studies are presently being conducted at leading centres in the United States.
The Company, based in Orpington, Kent, was founded in 2006 and has 18 employees, and has offices in Germany and USA. It is supported by a syndicate of Venture Capital, corporate and private investors including funds managed by Octopus Investments, T.J. Smith and Nephew Limited, Catapult Ventures and Angel Investors.
