Commercial traction beyond the US
The growing demand for brain PET in the US was also apparent during the annual meeting of the Society for Nuclear Medicine and Molecular Imaging (SNMMI) this June in Toronto. Representative for others, Prof. Satoshi Minoshima, MD, PhD from University of Utah presented the increased volume in amyloid PET and the PET scanner backlog as seen over the last couple of years4.
Despite the company’s first market clearance and the very promising customer interest in the US, Positrigo is addressing a global market with growing demand in Europe and Asia. For the European market the regulatory approval is expected for later this year as the required MDR audit has been passed successfully a few weeks ago.

Production is ready to scale
With the existing pre-orders and the strong demand from customers worldwide, the company is gearing up its production capabilities. Dr. Max Ahnen, co-founder and COO is excited about this next step: “Thanks to our excellent partner network we can rely on well-established and experienced companies which are ready to support us in this critical growth stage. I can’t wait to see the first NeuroLF devices leaving our production floor to allow clinicians to offer high quality patient care.”
With the FDA clearance of its first product, Positrigo achieved a major milestone which not only allows the company to generate revenue but brings it one step closer to fulfill its mission – imaging everyone.
