SOMERSET, N.J. , April 16, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Terumo Health Outcomes (THO), a division of Terumo Interventional Systems (TIS), today announced that Medis QFR 3.0, an FDA-cleared software solution for coronary physiology assessment, is now available in the United States through its collaboration with Medis Medical Imaging. This milestone builds on the companies' December 2023 partnership announcement.

"Helping hospitals access proven, innovative tools like QFR 3.0 is an important part of our mission," said Ryan Graver, Senior Divisional Vice President, THO. "This latest advancement from Medis aligns with the goals of many hospitals to enhance cath lab efficiency and support high-quality, patient-centered care. We are proud to be able to offer this cardiology diagnostic software solution to our customers."

THO and Medis will showcase QFR 3.0 during the upcoming SCAI 2025 Scientific Sessions, offering clinicians the opportunity to learn more about the technology and its role in supporting efficient, physiology-guided care in the cath lab.

Medis QFR has been validated through extensive clinical research, including over 200 peer-reviewed publications and data from more than 17,000 patients and 20,000 lesions. In 2024, QFR was recommended by the European Society of Cardiology in their ESC Guidelines, reinforcing its clinical relevance and utility.

"We're excited that U.S. hospitals will now have access to QFR 3.0," said Dr. Maya Barley, CEO of Medis Medical Imaging.
