VANCOUVER, B.C. / BOSTON, March 16, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- via InvestorWire – Imagin Medical Inc. (CSE: IME) (OTCQB: IMEXF) (Frankfurt & Stuttgart Symbol: DPD2) (“Imagin” or the “Company”) today reported continued progress towards commercial-stage manufacturing capability with Lighthouse Imaging (“Lighthouse”).
Prior to Imagin’s selection of Lighthouse as its contract manufacturer for the i/Blue Imaging System™ in October 2020, the Company received multiple fully functional feasibility units from its original design partner, Optel, Inc. Lighthouse’s development program has since focused on further refining the design to support Imagin’s submissions to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration and to ensure final device performance, compliance with all applicable regulatory standards, and optimal manufacturability to meet both cost targets and anticipated user demand.
“We chose Lighthouse because of its accomplished history of taking innovative products like our i/Blue System and applying its cross-functional expertise in optics, electronics, software and mechanical design to move into commercial manufacturing,” commented Mike Vergano, Imagin’s Director of Engineering and Quality. “We have not been disappointed. The Lighthouse team’s work to-date has been exceptional, and we look forward to that continuing.”
“As previously reported, the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020 altered our product timeline by approximately nine months, moving expected completion into 2022,” said Jim Hutchens, Imagin’s President and CEO. “The good news is that Lighthouse’s program has stayed on schedule and we expect it to remain on target going forward.”
