InfraScan, Inc. is a medical device company that focuses on developing, commercializing, and distributing hand-held diagnostic devices for head injury and stroke assessment based on near infrared (NIR) technology. The Infrascanner enables clinicians to detect effectively, conveniently, and accurately intracranial bleeding in patients with head trauma. Intracranial hematomas are an important treatable cause of secondary brain injury in patients with head trauma. Recent statistics from Iraq shows that 30% of all wounded in action have head injuries; of them 40% have brain hematomas. Dr. Britton Chance (University of Pennsylvania) and Dr. Claudia Robertson (Baylor College of Medicine) invented a NIR system for detection of brain Hematomas and tested it successfully in 305 patients in Baylor. An entrepreneurial team formed a company around this technology in Collaboration with Drexel University and won the Wharton Business Plan competition in April 2004 and the second prize at the global business plan competition in Singapore in October 2004. Office of Naval Research funded the company in May 2004. The company also attracted $1.5M in funding from BioAdvance, the Biotechnology Greenhouse of Southeastern Pennsylvania, from Ben Franklin Technology Partners of Southeastern Pennsylvania, and from Philadelphia Industrial Development Corporation. A multicenter clinical study to support an FDA submission started in July 2006, and on February 2008 an application was submitted to the FDA. After 4 years of review, the FDA cleared Infrascanner Model 1000 as a DeNovo medical technology in December 2011. In January 2013 the FDA cleared the 510(k) of Infrascanner Model 2000.

VeriTeQ's core technology evolved from implantable radio frequency identification (RFID) microchip technology used in the health care community for over two decades. This first-of-its-kind implantable RFID technology was cleared for use by the FDA in 2004 as a Class II medical device, originally to identify at-risk patients at the point of care. It has now evolved to help medical device manufacturers meet mandatory regulations outlined in the FDA's Safety & Innovation Act, signed into law in July 2012, and the FDA's Unique Device Identification (UDI) Final Rule. This technology is VeriTeQ's Q Inside Safety Technology. VeriTeQ's dosimeter technologies are used in the oncology suite and give an oncology team the ability to measure the dosage of radiation delivered to a patient on a per treatment basis. The data collected from our dosimeter technologies is invaluable when recording the total amount of radiation that a patient is exposed to during the entire treatment regimen, and the data can be used on a generic basis to develop future treatment regimens and evidence-based healthcare. VeriTeQ is developing an informatics and data analytics platform that will improve the type of medical device and treatment regimen data that can be used in many applications to improve patient healthcare and outcomes. Such examples include using VeriTeQ's UDI data in supply chain management for medical device manufacturers and healthcare institutions, quality and reimbursement controls for hospitals, and treatment regimen data for patients receiving chemotherapy and radiation therapy. VeriTeQ owns a rich portfolio of intellectual property protecting all of its current and future technologies.
