Premier
Bone Assessment for the First Months of Life
PREMIER
provides the only method available for the safe and accurate
bone assessment of pre-term infants. The widespread prevalence
of Osteopenia of Prematurity among pre-term infants makes
PREMIER an essential tool in hospital neonatal units.
Pre-term
babies don’t achieve the bone mass normally accreted during
the third trimester of pregnancy, and are often born with low
bone mineralization. Days or weeks spent in NICUs further slow
their bone development. PREMIER enables tracking of neonate
bone, using patented Omnipath® technology, to
identify babies whose bones are underdeveloped.
Tracking
Bone Development
PREMIER
provides non-invasive and radiation-free measurement with a
mobile, compact and user-friendly device especially developed
for the measurement of pre-term infants. Its low measurement
error provides sensitivity to small changes in the bone and
permits frequent monitoring of premature infant bone.
PREMIER automatically compares
Speed of Sound measurements to a built-in reference database
which portrays the intrauterine development curve of healthy
bone.
 Osteopenia
of Prematurity is one of the most widespread health problems
of prematurely born infants, who don't achieve the bone mass
normally gained during the third trimester of pregnancy.
Sunlight PREMIER, a quantitative ultrasound device for the
bone assessment of premature babies, was developed to fill
this need. Its patented technology enables accurate,
non-invasive, and radiation-free testing - the first step in
caring for the bones of pre-term infants.
Omnipath®
- A Breakthrough Technology
Omnipath®,PREMIER's
patented axial transmission technology, is based on the
measurement of the speed of ultrasonic waves (SOS) propagating
along the bone. This patented technology enables accurate,
non-invasive, and radiation-free testing for premature infants.
