What is AURA™

AURA™ is an award winning, safe, non-invasive imaging and spectroscopy system based on pioneering Raman technology. Generating real-time results in less than 1.5 seconds, AURA™ is the fastest early and advanced-stage skin cancer detection device on the market. AURA™ is designed to aid physicians and healthcare professionals in the rapid screening, early detection, and accurate diagnosis of pre-malignant and malignant skin cancer.

At the recommendation of the FDA, Vita Imaging sponsored a Study in the US with the protocol name of “Raman Spectroscopy AURA for Non-Invasive Diagnosis of Skin Cancer” to supplement the extensive clinical data collected from Vancouver, British Columbia. The US Study was conducted at a clinical research site in Fremont, California and commenced in September 2023. There were 100 Patients who participated in the Study. The Study successfully concluded in January 2024 . Data from the Study were submitted to the FDA on January 17, 2024.

FDA review of Vita Imaging’s Class 3 PMA application is in progress. A decision from the FDA on AURA’s market clearance is expected by the first half of 2025.
