PEACHTREE CORNERS, Ga.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Guided Therapeutics, Inc. (OTCQB: GTHP), the maker of the LuViva Advanced Cervical Scan, announced today that it had received full payment from its Indonesian distribution partner for four LuViva devices and 1,200 single-use cervical guides. Delivery of the systems is expected to occur in the first quarter of 2025. This initial shipment of LuViva devices for the government healthcare system in Sulawesi will be utilized to identify women with cervical cancer at its earliest stages, when it is most treatable.
Sulawesi is an island in the Indonesian archipelago with a population of over 20 million. Cervical cancer is one of the most common female cancers occurring in Indonesia, the fourth most populous country in the world, where organized screening programs are sparse, especially in rural areas.
“Because LuViva is a self-contained cervical cancer detection system that provides immediate results without the need for any laboratory infrastructure, it is well suited for the Indonesian healthcare system,” said Mark Faupel, Guided Therapeutics’ CEO. “We have been told to expect additional orders next year that will build upon this initial shipment.”
