Park City - CONTROL MEDICAL TECHNOLOGY received U. S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) clearance to market the ASPIRE MAX aspiration system.

The patented ASPIRE MAX aspiration system bridges the gap between basic syringe-catheter kits and complex electromechanical systems to remove blood clots, or thrombus, from vessels in the body. The core ASPIRE aspirator is a high-performance aspirator with integrated handles and valves that allow clinicians to instantly create, increase, decrease, slow, stop or "pulse" aspiration force. MAX aspiration catheters are proprietary large internal diameter aspiration catheters available in multiple outer diameters and lengths to improve aspiration speed, force and control.

"We are pleased to receive FDA clearance," says Shawn Fojtik, CEO of Control Medical and core patent contributor. "Clinicians describe the ASPIRE as an 'Aspiration Gas Pedal' that allows them to control aspiration like never before. We look forward to seeing it used to improve patient care."
