DIMO Healthcare Advances Liver Health Management with Sri Lanka’s First Echosens FibroScan® Expert 630

First Installation at Hemas Hospital Wattala

DIMO Healthcare, a leader in the Sri Lankan healthcare sector, has introduced the country’s first Echosens FibroScan® Expert 630, revolutionizing non-invasive liver assessments. This innovative technology, which is acknowledged as the world standard for liver health management, improves the early identification, diagnosis, and ongoing monitoring of liver diseases, guaranteeing better patient care.

The first Echosens FibroScan® Expert 630 was successfully delivered by DIMO Healthcare to Hemas Hospital Wattala as part of this ground-breaking launch, assisting the hospital’s growth into a new liver center. In recognition of the company’s outstanding reputation in the healthcare sector and its steadfast dedication to providing exceptional after-sales service, Hemas Hospitals chose DIMO Healthcare as its trusted installation partner. 

A very effective, non-invasive substitute for a typical liver biopsy, the Echosens FibroScan® Expert 630 greatly lowers expenses and complexity for patients as well as medical professionals. It allows for a painless exam to be performed in under 4 minutes by a trained operator. It is essential for screening and tracking liver diseases such as hepatitis, Metabolic dysfunction-associated steatohepatitis (MASH), and metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD). Additionally, the device’s unique ability to measure spleen stiffness makes it possible to help manage and stratify patients with advanced chronic liver disease. Indeed, the measurement of spleen stiffness has been used in a clinical setting to assess portal hypertension and for variceal surveillance.

Furthermore, the device’s increased portal hypertension diagnostic capacity makes it easier to stratify patients with severe chronic liver disease for esophageal varices.

Director Medical Service and Quality, Dr. Malith Atapattu of Hemas Hospitals said “Hemas Hospitals is proud to be the first healthcare provider in Sri Lanka to introduce the Echosens FibroScan® Expert 630, marking a significant advancement in our liver care services. This addition supports our vision of establishing a dedicated liver center at Hemas Hospital Wattala, enabling us to expand our clinical offerings and serve a broader patient base across the country.”

Director General Manager Mr. Prabhan Gunawardane of Hemas Hospitals said, “With this technology, we aim to provide accessible, high-quality liver health assessments to at-risk communities, corporate clients, and general medical referrals, reinforcing our commitment to early intervention and comprehensive care.”

Mr. Priyantha Dissanayake – COO of DIMO Healthcare, said, “DIMO Healthcare is pleased to bring this cutting-edge technology to Sri Lanka, demonstrating our dedication to building a healthier nation while fuelling dreams and aspirations of the Sri Lankans. As the sole Echosens agent, we guarantee comprehensive after-sales assistance to maintain accuracy and dependability in addition to offering state-of-the-art medical solutions. Providing accurate, real-time liver health assessments to healthcare professionals will be made possible in large part by the Echosens FibroScan® Expert 630.”  

An ultrasound localization probe is integrated into the latest version of the FibroScan® Expert 630 model, guaranteeing exceptional measurement precision and probe placement accuracy. With enhanced ergonomics, a user-friendly touchscreen interface, a sophisticated keyboard, and a built-in barcode reader, this technology improves patient outcomes by streamlining workflow efficiency for medical personnel.

The company’s dedication to thorough after-sales service includes yearly calibration, and both preventive and corrective maintenance, guaranteeing the longevity and peak functionality of medical equipment allowing institutions to attain greater operational efficiency.
