SAN RAFAEL, Calif., April 25, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- CrossBay Medical, Inc., today announced the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) clearance of its product, the SonoSure™ Sonohysterography and Endometrial Sampling Device. The device has also received Health Canada clearance and the CE mark. The SonoSure™ is indicated for use to access the uterine cavity for saline infusion sonohysterography and to obtain endometrial biopsy, if indicated, utilizing the same device.

Abnormal Uterine Bleeding (AUB) occurs in 20 percent of women between the ages of 19 to 55.  Saline Infusion Sonohysterography (SIS) and Endometrial Biopsy (EMB) are routinely used in the workup for AUB. Many providers perform these procedures at the same setting, using separate instrumentation for each procedure. This requires cannulation of the cervix at least twice. Other providers may require patients to have separate visits for the procedures. The SonoSure™ device combines Saline Infusion Sonohysterography and Endometrial Biopsy in the same device. 

"We are excited about receiving the clearance for SonoSure™ as we can now provide our affiliate partners in the US, Canada and Europe with a truly affordable and effective product," said Piush Vidyarthi, CEO of CrossBay Medical Inc.  "CrossBay's goal is to continue to develop innovative devices for women and children for the global market.  We have numerous products in development that we plan to bring to market in the near future."
