QDI has developed the new Quantum WARP 75®

Barneveld, WI June 4, 2007: FDA Clearance for a new medical device, the WARP 75®, has been granted to Quantum Devices, Inc (QDI). Through an SBIR grant from NASA, QDI developed HEALS® (High Emissivity Aluminuferous Light-emitting Substrate) technology. This technology was rewarded with induction into the NASA Space Technology Hall of Fame for their technological advancement in Light-emitting Diodes for Medical Applications.

The WARP 75® is based on the same technology as the WARP 10® with a few added features. The WARP 75® has 7.5 times (75cm2) the actual coverage area as the WARP 10® (10cm2). It is air (fan) cooled and can mount to an articulated arm. The device has an automatic timed cycle of 88 seconds with an audible alarm. There are no batteries or recharger. WARP 75® is AC powered.

The new device, WARP 75®, is being used in a clinical trial with The Medical College of Wisconsin and The University of Alabama-Birmingham for the Amelioration of Oral Mucositis Pain by NASA Near-Infrared Red Light-emitting Diodes in Bone Marrow Transplant Patients.
