Reliant Technologies Develops Breakthrough Fraxel Laser Systems with Green Hills Software’s Platform for Medical Devices

SANTA BARBARA, CA —February 4, 2008 — Green Hills Software, Inc., the technology leader in device software optimization (DSO) and real-time operating systems (RTOS), today announced that Reliant Technologies, Inc., the pioneer of fractional resurfacing and market leader of aesthetic laser skin treatments, has based the software for its breakthrough Fraxel re:pair™ laser system on the Green Hills Software Platform for Medical Devices. This platform includes the INTEGRITY® real-time operating system (RTOS) and MULTI® integrated development environment (IDE). Reliant’s Fraxel® family of laser systems, which includes the Fraxel re:fine™, Fraxel re:store™ and Fraxel re:pair™ lasers, offers the most advanced systems on the market today for safe and effective skin rejuvenation.

"We found that the Green Hills Software Platform is fast, reliable and a very robust operating system for Reliant’s medical device needs,” said Len DeBenedictis, chief technology officer of Reliant Technologies. “The ability for the operating system to quickly handle multiple tasks simultaneously provides for optimal patient safety and efficacy, a key advantage of Fraxel brand systems."

The Green Hills INTEGRITY RTOS, the core of the Platform for Medical Devices, is a true real-time operating system that carries credentials for reliability, availability, and serviceability. It has been used in many FDA/CDRH Class II and III approved life-critical medical devices and has been certified numerous times to the FAA’s safety critical standard DO-178B Level A for flight-critical avionics. INTEGRITY uses hardware memory protection to maximize reliability without sacrificing real time performance and is designed to help embedded developers guarantee resource availability to the end system’s critical tasks.

"Green Hills understands the many challenges our customers face when developing products to the highest standards for safety and security," commented Dan O'Dowd, founder and chief executive officer of Green Hills Software. "We have incorporated this extensive experience into our Platform for Medical Devices so companies like Reliant can produce next-generation medical devices with the highest degree of safety and reliability while easing regulatory approval."
