Dune Medical Gets FDA Approval On Device Used to Identify Breast Cancer Cells Along the Edges of Tissue- Will Help Avoid Second Surgeries To Remove More Cancer That May Have Been Missed

imageSo what does the machine do? We all wonder when surgery takes place with removing cancer, did they get it all? The devices gives the surgeons the information they need to find out during surgery. The probe uses software that detects to see if any more tissue needs to be cut away.
Radio frequency technology is used and it is the only device that can find microscopic cancer on the marginal tissue. The price is certainly affordable as far as surgical and diagnostics go at 2k. The whole point here is avoid second surgeries of course to remove additional cancer cells.

Right now the device is designed for breast cancer detection only but the company hopes to expand on this for other types of cancers. The clinical trial was done at NYU.

Federal regulators have approved a new instrument made by imageDune Medical Devices Inc. that enables breast cancer surgeons to determine immediately whether they have removed all of the cancer tissue during lumpectomy procedures, the company is set to disclose Wednesday.

Dune Medical, based in Caesarea, Israel, plans to move its US office from Framingham to Boston’s Innovation District next week as it builds a sales force to market the device, called the MarginProbe system, to breast cancer surgeons across the nation.

Dune Medical’s new device, already in use in Israel, Germany, and Switzerland, got the green light from the Food and Drug Administration eight months after the privately held company filed its application for premarket approval. That followed clinical trials involving 664 patients at two dozen sites in the United States and Israel. MarginProbe was shown to be effective in identifying cancer along the edge of breast tissue during lumpectomy surgery.



“This is the only device that will identify microscopic cancer on the margin,” Levangie said, noting that MarginProbe is his company’s first approved product. “This is a first-of-a-kind device. But the technology can be applied to a wide variety of other cancers.”

MarginProbe, including the console and probes, will cost health care providers about $2,000, a fraction of the cost of screening equipment used to make the initial diagnosis of breast cancer.

FDA Approves Another ADHD Generic Version of Concerta

This will offer another alternative generic as if you read on the web there’s a lot of comments about how the generic doesn’t work as well and this is odd because they are both manufactured in the same Ortho-McNeil plant but we don’t know the formulation so again you would think they would be real close if for no other reason than extensive retooling the production line.  Now here’s one from a totally different manufacturer.  BD 



Mallinckrodt, the Pharmaceuticals business of Covidien plc (COV - Analyst Report), has won the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) imageapproval to manufacture and sell a generic version of CONCERTA (methylphenidate HCl) Extended-Release (ER) Tablets USP (CII) in 27 mg, 36 mg and 54 mg dosage strengths.

The tablets are used to treat patients, aged between 6 and 65, suffering from Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD). ADHD is a neurobehavioral disorder, usually diagnosed in childhood.

Children with ADHD are inattentive, hyperactive and impulsive. Despite being a long-term chronic condition, it can be successfully treated with proper therapy and medication.

Melinda Gates Talks Birth Control and Contraception–Giving Women the Option To Control When They Want to Have Children–TED Video


Newswise — The Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health has received $28 million in grants from the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, the David and Lucile Packard Foundation and the William and Flora Hewlett Foundation to continue and expand the Advance Family Planning advocacy initiative within the Bloomberg School’s Bill & Melinda Gates Institute on Population and Reproductive Health.

Advance Family Planning aims to increase resources and political commitment for quality family planning programs, as part of the July 2012 London Summit on Family Planning (now known as FP2020). The vision of the summit was to enable more women and girls in some of the world’s poorest countries to use contraceptive information, services and supplies, without coercion or discrimination, by 2020.

Allscripts Has More Issues With a Class Action Lawsuit Filed in Florida Claiming MyWay EMR Product Non Performance and Large Expenditures Expenditures

The MyWay system has been around for a long time and it was technology Misys bought, which is now Allscripts.  I used to go up against this early EMR with my little system and shortly after I sold a few licenses everything went to the web and I realized that support and training were going to compound as simple complexities were already on the way and there was no way a single developer could survive and I would die at the keyboard from exhaustion. 

Now we have a clinic in Florida who has filed a class action suit on the behalf of their clinic and any other users who faced similar problems.  Yes it was buggy and that’s part of what occurred and still does at times when you acquire software from other developers and don’t have the programming expertise in house.  That’s what makes Epic so hard to beat too as they have everything in house.  The statements in the lawsuit said over 5000 MDs bought the system over 4 years so that’s a good sized number.  In the early days certification did not exist either.  The lawsuit basically states Allscripts breached it’s warranty to the Clinic with selling a defective product.  The MyWay system was never able to be certified.  The suit also claims the upgrade that was “free” in cost also caused financial lost with the upgrade and having to learn an entirely new system.  The suit also says Allscripts is a foreign corporation.  Just a few weeks ago we had this happen. 

Allscripts Ousts CEO Glen Tullman and Lee Shapiro, President, Appoints Board Member To Take Over

In addition Allscripts is suing NYC Health over the fact that they chose another EHR system, which does not look cool for one.

Allscripts Sues NYC Health and Hospital System Over Contract Award to Epic - EHR Vendor Playing the Same Game as Health Insurance Companies With Lawsuits

Like I have said before it takes time to develop software and EMRs are at the top of the list as new technologies come in to play as well as adding more operability features and that part is always in progress.  As I keep saying “the short order code kitchen burned down a few years ago and there was no fire sale”.  Glad I quit when I did and moved clients to other systems a nominal cost instead of trying to sell mine when all went to the web.  BD


   


"2. Allscripts misled the Clinic, its owner Dr. Robert Joseph, and other physician customers about the quality and functionality of MyWay. The product never worked well and, after four years, in the face of mounting complaints and market pressures to resolve the issues and provide refunds, rather than confess the software's shortcomings and inherent defects and without causing the software to comply with the new federal regulations, Allscripts concocted a story that it had decided to discontinue MyWay and "upgrade" its customers to another - and more expensive - software that it sells named Professional Suite Electronic Health Record System ("EHR Pro"). The "free upgrade" was anything but free. Unlike MyWay, EHR Pro was not developed for small physician groups, is more complicated and more expensive to maintain, and requires more complex integration and staff training. Simply put, it is not the product that the end user bargained for. The Clinic and thousands of other Allscripts physician-purchasers do not want EHR Pro for their electronic health record ("EHR") technology.

3. By selling the defective MyWay product and refusing to fix its defects or refund the purchase price after it decided to discontinue the product, Allscripts has breached its warranty to its physician-customers to provide a product suited for its intended purpose. In addition, Allscripts has been unjustly enriched by retaining the money paid by MyWay purchasers and users without delivering an EHR software product that performs as it was intended to work."
