Mauna Kea Technologies: Pancreatic Cancer Awareness Month: Understanding Cellvizio® in Clinical Practice

PARIS & BOSTON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Regulatory News:

Dear Shareholders and Investors,

November is Pancreatic Cancer Awareness Month. It highlights a major public health challenge that concerns us all: with the widespread use of cross-sectional imaging (CT and MRI), pancreatic cyst lesions are now detected by chance in 3% to 10% of adults. For both physicians and patients, the critical challenge is to reliably distinguish benign cysts—to avoid unnecessary major surgery—from cysts that may progress to pancreatic cancer.

In this key indication, Mauna Kea Technologies (Euronext Growth: ALMKT) provides a concrete answer with Cellvizio^®. By enabling physicians to observe the inner wall of the cyst in real time at the cellular level during an endoscopic procedure, our technology is increasingly establishing itself as a clinical standard of care, backed by landmark multicenter clinical studies, medical society guidelines, and an established reimbursement framework in the United States, our largest market.

Cellvizio^® systems and AQ-Flex™ 19 miniprobes are prescription devices restricted to use by trained healthcare professionals strictly within cleared indications (CE Mark / FDA 510(k)). As with any interventional endoscopic ultrasound procedure involving fine-needle puncture (EUS-FNA) and intravenous administration of a contrast agent (fluorescein sodium), the procedure carries inherent risks (including acute pancreatitis, bleeding, infection, or hypersensitivity reactions to fluorescein) detailed in the device Instructions for Use (IFU).
