RIVANNA's Accuro 3S Needle Guide Kit Receives FDA Clearance for Enhanced Patient Safety

RIVANNA Achieves FDA Clearance for Innovative Accuro 3S Needle Guide Kit

In a significant development for the medical technology field, RIVANNA®, a pioneer in imaging-based medical solutions, recently confirmed that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has granted 510(k) clearance for its Accuro® 3S Needle Guide Kit. This momentous approval highlights RIVANNA's dedication to enhancing the safety and precision of ultrasound-guided needle procedures.

The Accuro 3S Needle Guide Kit is designed to be used in conjunction with the Accuro 3S ultrasound imaging system. This kit features single-use, sterile components specifically crafted to maintain high standards of infection control while improving workflow efficiency. One of the standout features of the kit is its sterile patient drape, which includes stabilization bands to keep the transducer securely in place, allowing for hands-free operation during needle placement. This innovative design not only streamlines the procedure for clinicians but also ensures they can maintain tactile feedback by keeping both hands on the needle.

Moreover, the newly designed Dual-Array™ transducer enables effective midline placement via the central aperture. It also incorporates an integrated probe cover that isolates the needle insertion site from potential contaminants, contributing to a more controlled procedural environment. The strategic design of the Accuro 3S Needle Guide Kit directly addresses important ergonomic challenges clinicians face during neuraxial needle placements, allowing for enhanced procedural accuracy and patient safety.

Will Mauldin, PhD, RIVANNA’s Co-founder and CEO, expressed enthusiasm regarding the FDA clearance, stating, "The Accuro 3S Needle Guide Kit underscores our commitment to supplying clinicians with tools that are not only intuitively designed but also enhance their workflow efficiency. The incorporation of stabilization bands for hands-free support makes our offering stand out in the marketplace."

This FDA approval comes after comprehensive testing that adhered to strict federal requirements, ensuring that the Accuro 3S Needle Guide Kit meets both safety and performance standards. RIVANNA's pursuit of innovation is evident in its goal to improve procedures in ultrasound-guided needle placement, benefiting both healthcare providers and their patients.
