Meridian Medical Systems

Meridian Medical Systems is a private medical device company focused on conceiving, designing, and developing devices based primarily on microwave technology and passive radiometric sensing. Its technologies have been applied to diagnostic imaging, temperature monitoring, blood and fluid warming, and minimally invasive thermal treatment concepts. The company has commercialized at least the Universal Digital Interface (UDI) digital radiography upgrade system and has also developed a broader portfolio of FDA-cleared and developmental products. Meridian appears to operate as a small, engineering-led device developer rather than a therapeutics company, with historical work spanning oncology, cardiology, imaging, and hospital support applications. The business is closely associated with founder Kenneth L. Carr and an intellectual-property portfolio in microwave medical technologies.
