On 27th September 2018 at Croke Park Conference Centre, Dublin ,the IMSTA Annual Medtech Awards were held. HSL won the Most Innovative Product ( SME) for the new Endofaster equipment from Niso Biomed.

Upon receipt of the award the statement was made, as below:

“The introduction of this innovative device provides the diagnosis of HP (Helicobacter Pylori) and other neoplastic risk factors in real time during gastroscopy. Real time allows less invasive procedures: it negates the requirement for biopsies and it reduces the procedure time, benefiting the patient, with the added bonus of reduction in cost to the hospital ”.
