Shares of Motus GI Holdings, Inc. (NASDAQ: MOTS) gained over 39% during the premarket trading session following the announcement.
“This FDA clearance of Pure-Vu EVS is expected to allow a greater number of physicians and hospitals to bring this important technology to their patients.”
Tim Moran, Chief Executive Officer
The Pure-Vu platform facilitates the cleaning of a poorly prepared colon to improve visualization during the colonoscopy procedure and is meant to improve the speed of set-up as well as enable physicians to rapidly overcome the challenges of poorly prepared colons during a colonoscopy.
“Pure-Vu EVS is much easier to use, and will be more physician and technician friendly. The set-up is significantly simpler, and the slimmer, more flexible design felt like I didn’t have an oversleeve on my scope.”
Neha Mathur, MD, Gastroenterologist, Houston, TX
The Pure-Vu EVS platform’s commercial launch is expected to take place in the first quarter of 2022.
