PARIS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--MDoloris Medical Systems, a leader in the field of objective pain monitoring during anesthesia, announces today the regulatory clearance and marketing approval of its HFVI MOC-9, High Frequency Variability Index monitor, in Japan. MDoloris� HFVI MOC-9 Technology is the first monitoring solution for patients going through analgosedation and anesthesia in Japan.
The HFVI MOC-9 is a solution developed by MDoloris for Masimo (NASDAQ: MASI) for integration into its Root patient monitoring and connectivity hub, making it a full brain monitoring system. HFVI is a parameter obtained from the Heart Rate Variability, which is the same as ANI, Analgesia Nociception Index, being popular in Europe, that helps clinicians to assess the parasympathetic activity of patients undergoing surgery or intensive care in Japan.
�We are thrilled to become the exclusive business partner of Mdoloris in Japan. The Japanese clinicians are extremely interested in the innovative and unique technology of Mdoloris which addresses the last unmet need of general anesthesia.?We expect this technology will bring obvious clinical benefits and cost-effective outcomes. Heiwa Bussan has just become the only Japanese company being able to answer this need in the real world. Thereafter, we are extremely excited by the sales potential of such an innovative product�, declares Shinichi Hasuda, Representative Director of Heiwa Bussan.

Analgesia Nociception Index
ANI is a parameter obtained from the Heart Rate Variability that helps clinicians to assess the Autonomic Nervous System, guiding the clinicians to titrate their analgesics during the surgery and anesthesia. This improves postoperative pain, PONV scores, shivering scores, and reducing post-operative opioids use (1), as well as, hospital stays (2) and may reduce the Montreal scales values (3), a scale used to asses� post-operative cognitive disorders.
