SHERIDAN, WYOMING -- July 22, 2026 -- Royal Philips has received FDA 510(k) clearance for its next-generation reusable SpO₂ clip sensor, a pulse oximetry device built around internal optical refinements that improve signal quality. In desaturation testing, the sensor posted an accuracy result nearly twice as tight as the level recommended by ISO and recognized by the FDA. It also held accuracy within half a percentage point between light and dark skin pigmentation groups tested. The clearance extends Philips' broader pulse oximetry portfolio and follows a validation program built specifically around performance across diverse patient populations.

SHERIDAN, WYOMING -- July 22, 2026 -- Heidelberger Druckmaschinen AG (HEIDELBERG) has introduced the ChromaStar series, a modular ink dispensing platform built to automate spot color production directly inside print shops. The system targets a persistent operational problem in packaging printing: manual, unstandardized spot color mixing that slows turnaround and ties up skilled staff. Four models — X, S, M, and P — scale from entry-level manual batch preparation to fully automated, high-volume industrial dispensing. HEIDELBERG frames the launch as an expansion of its Lifecycle consumables business and its role as a system integrator for packaging printers.

SHERIDAN, WYOMING -- July 07, 2026 -- Roche announced positive results from the phase III Krascendo 1 study, showing that its investigational KRAS G12C inhibitor divarasib outperformed the approved first-generation inhibitors sotorasib and adagrasib in patients with previously treated KRAS G12C non-small cell lung cancer. The study met both its primary and key secondary endpoints, with divarasib delivering statistically significant improvements in progression-free survival and overall survival. Roche plans to submit the data to health authorities and present full results at an upcoming medical meeting. The company positions the results as evidence that divarasib could become a new treatment standard for this genetically defined subgroup of lung cancer patients.

SHERIDAN, WYOMING -- June 25, 2026 -- Dentsply Sirona and HeyGears have announced the successful validation of Lucitone Digital Print Denture resins for one-piece denture production on HeyGears' new UltraCraft Multi-Material Fusion DLP 3D printer. The validation extends an existing collaboration between the two companies and establishes a production pathway that eliminates the bonding step previously required to attach Lucitone Digital IPN 3D denture teeth to the denture base. Dental laboratories using the combined workflow can now produce complete monolithic dentures in a single print run while maintaining the mechanical strength, esthetics, and durability associated with the Lucitone material platform. The announcement covers full-arch and partial denture applications.
