HNL acting CEO and president Matt Sorrentino said: “Typical clinical trials for medical devices focus on producing data. Although important, this single focus overlooks the operational influence of the technology.
“In working with GKD, HNL continues its legacy of innovation. This latest technology advancement may transform how and where certain diagnostic tests are performed.”
Patients aged 18 years or older can sign up at two of HNL’s Patient Service Centers to enrol in the free clinical trial.
The company noted that the Patient Service Centers participating in the trial are located at 1630 N Cedar Crest Boulevard and 3219-B Schoenersville Road and Avenue C.
