With a focus on providing sorely under-served US communities with technologically advanced medical equipment, Medifico, Inc., a new medical equipment company, has announced the launch of the Brainvue-TCD(TM) 1000.

"Utilizing advanced ultrasound technology to non-invasively measure blood flow in the brain, the Brainvue-TCD is designed to aid in the diagnosis, prevention, intervention, and treatment of strokes, migraines, concussions, sickle cell disease and detection of PFOs (holes between the chambers of the heart) and other neurological disorders," says Bill Medina, Medifico founder and president.

The Brain Attack Coalition, a division of NINDS, the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke, has emphasized the great need for brain imaging equipment in US hospitals and medical offices where these units are financially out of reach. "Medifico will make it possible for more of these medical facilities to gain access to this vital equipment under the most favorable terms," states Medina.

A portable, hand-held, battery-operated unit, the Brainvue-TCD 1000 can also be used for soldiers in battle, as well as athletes prone to head injuries. "The Brainvue-TCD can help determine if a player has a concussion and if it's safe to return to play," explains Medina."
