PORTOLA VALLEY, Calif., March 31 /PRNewswire/ -- Spectros Corporation (Portola Valley, CA) reported that 2007 year-over-year sales rose 36%, reflecting growing acceptance of molecular monitoring in the hospital for a broadening array of applications and clinical research areas. The Company’s lead product, T-Stat(R), was the first device approved by the FDA as sensitive to ischemia, a condition in which critical organs receive insufficient oxygen. “We are pleased that hospitals are now recognizing the benefits of Ischemia Detection in their clinical practices,” notes David Benaron, CEO. Red Herring recently predicted the market for such products in molecular detection, molecular imaging, and treatment guidance, will grow to over $12 billion annually. “We expect significant and continued growth in revenue for the next several years,” noted David Benaron, CEO.
Spectros is currently the leader in real-time noninvasive somatic molecular monitoring, such as the T-Stat(R) 303 ischemia detection system. With introduction of probes that monitor in the cranial region, Spectros will compete directly with cerebral oximetry concerns such as Somanetics, CAS Medical, and others. Next generation products for the early diagnosis of breast cancer are entering Phase III trials.
