Raywatt Wins 2024 Red Dot Award in Design Concept Category

Reiwatt, a specialized company in intelligent cardiovascular imaging diagnostic medical devices, announced on the 29th that its cardiovascular OCT (Optical Coherence Tomography) imaging device, 'FASTER,' has won the 'Red Dot Award: Design Concept 2024.'

The Red Dot Design Award is one of the world's top three design awards, organized by the Design Center of North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany. The judging criteria for the Design Concept category include innovation, feasibility, and functionality.

FASTER is a cardiovascular OCT imaging device boasting the world's fastest shooting speed of 400 frames per second. It features the use of saline instead of contrast agents, significantly improving safety and diagnostic accuracy compared to competing products. It also includes a built-in artificial intelligence-based Fractional Flow Reserve (FFR) simulator, supporting cardiologists in making more precise decisions during cardiovascular stent procedures.

FASTER is scheduled to be delivered to major general hospitals in Korea in the second half of this year, and Reiwatt plans to actively expand into overseas markets starting with this.

Jinyong Ha, CEO of Reiwatt, stated, "Through this award, Reiwatt's products have been recognized not only for their technological excellence but also for outstanding product design. We will continue to introduce innovative medical devices in various aspects, including technology and design, and lead the global market, starting with the Indian market."

Meanwhile, Reiwatt, founded in 2019 by Jinyong Ha, a current professor in the Department of Electronic Information and Communication Engineering at Sejong University, focuses on cardiovascular imaging diagnostic medical devices based on OCT technology, with key products including the cardiovascular imaging device 'FASTER,' the catheter 'Chouette,' and AI-based imaging software 'FasterDx.'

The company has solidified its position in the industry as a specialized company in in vivo diagnostic devices and interventional medical devices, having been selected in April as a medical device company for the 'Super Gap Startup 1000+ Project' hosted by the Ministry of SMEs and Startups.
