\nQT Imaging Holdings, Inc. (Nasdaq: QTI) (\u201cQT Imaging\u201d or the \u201cCompany\u201d), a medical device company dedicated to transforming breast health management through innovative, radiation-free imaging technology, today announced that its Breast Acoustic CT\u2122 scanner has received official classification and clearance from the United Arab Emirates (UAE) Emirates Drug Establishment (EDE) for use as a medical device in that country.<\/p>\n
\nThis clearance allows for the importation and distribution of our scanner through EDE-licensed medical warehouses, ensuring compliance with UAE healthcare infrastructure standards and enabling marketing to licensed healthcare facilities across the country. It also represents a significant step in QT Imaging\u2019s global strategy and reinforces its commitment to expanding access to advanced compression-free, 3D technology offering a more comfortable and radiation-free alternative for breast imaging.<\/p>\n
\nIn January 2026, QT Imaging signed an exclusive distribution agreement with Al Naghi Medical Co., a leading provider of medical devices in the UAE, for the QTI scanner and the QTI Cloud Platform, establishing a $24 million revenue pipeline through 2028. According to national data cited by Elobaid et al.1<\/sup>, breast cancer accounts for 25% of all cancer cases in the UAE and 43% of cancers among women, underscoring the urgent need for safe and effective breast imaging solutions.<\/p>\n \n\u201cThe UAE represents a highly attractive and fast-growing healthcare market, and this regulatory clearance is a pivotal milestone in our expanding global commercial presence,\u201d said Satrajit Misra, QT Imaging\u2019s Chief Commercial Officer. \u201cIt opens the door for commercial deployment in the region by our distributor Al Naghi Medical, positions us to build strong partnerships with leading healthcare providers and also complements our existing presence in Saudi Arabia through Gulf Medical.\u201d<\/p>\n \nWith a strong emphasis on innovation and regulatory alignment, QT Imaging is actively advancing its commercialization efforts globally. UAE regulatory clearance underscores the Company\u2019s ability to navigate diverse regulatory environments and deliver compliant, cutting-edge solutions to international markets. Along with QT Imaging\u2019s exclusive distribution agreement with Gulf Medical Co. for Saudi Arabia, the Company now has a commercial presence in the two largest healthcare markets in the Middle East.<\/p>\n About QT Imaging<\/b><\/p>\n \nQT Imaging Holdings, Inc.
