WATERLOO, ONTARIO–(Marketwire – Sept. 21, 2010) – Client Outlook, an emerging leader in healthcare IT, announced today that is has been awarded its Class II Medical Device License by Health Canada for its eUnity™ product.
eUnity™ is a zero footprint medical image viewer that provides healthcare professionals with secure access to diagnostic images such as X-rays, CT, MRI and nuclear medicine scans from any Internet-enabled location. Where in the past, clinicians have been forced to rely upon expensive, specialized equipment to view and share medical images, limiting access and collaboration, eUnity™ allows clinicians to view diagnostic quality images from any Web browser while using the Internet to directly collaborate with other medical professionals within a hospital setting or in other locations.
Client Outlook’s Class II Medical Device license, granted on September 14, 2010, legally permits clinicians using a calibrated monitor to use information displayed by eUnity’s™ viewer for patient diagnosis. The announcement comes on the heels of the Client Outlook’s ISO 13485 certification, received in June, 2010, a prerequisite for the Class II Medical Device license.
“eUnity™ significantly broadens access to diagnostic images within the healthcare enterprise improving efficiency of patient treatment, speeding access to care, and lowering cost to hospitals. In the past, clinicians were required to use high cost, specialized software or workstations to view images, and access was typically very limited –,” says Steve Rankin, Client Outlook president and CEO. “With eUnity™, hospitals can now inexpensively grant health professionals access to diagnostic quality images from virtually any workstation with a calibrated monitor.
“In addition to greatly expanding access to critical diagnostic images for purposes of diagnosis, we believe eUnity™ will play an instrumental role in bringing collaboration back into the patient diagnosis process. Using modern age technology, we’ve created a ‘virtual lightbox’ environment where physicians, radiologists and other healthcare professionals can collaborate in real time regardless of location. They can view images simultaneously and share mouse clicks and other gestures to enrich communication.”
