Astro-Med gains FDA nod
for new sleep-study system
WEST WARWICK – Astro-Med Inc., a medical-device manufacturer, recently announced that it has received U.S. Food & Drug Administration clearance to market its new Comet system for sleep and EEG studies.
The system, made by Astro-Med’s Grass-Telefactor unit, provides up to 50 channels for recording and analysis of sleep data. It combines software with new amplifiers to make a flexible system for sleep study and EEG applications, the company said.
Astro-Med says it believes the Comet is a breakthrough in size, performance and price and will make significant inroads in the sleep study market, which is growing at an annual rate of more than 20 percent. Many sleep disorders that have gone undiagnosed for years now are easily diagnosed and treated using new technologies, the company said.
