-iREACH IRIS provides real-time, location-specific insight into tissue behaviour along the staple line
SINGAPORE, April 15, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Reach Surgical, the surgical solutions division of Genesis MedTech, has received CE Mark approval for iREACH IRIS, a next-generation powered stapling platform designed to deliver Real-Time Firing CurveTM and up to 90° articulation during surgery.
Unlike conventional powered staplers that provide general firing feedback, iREACH IRIS Real-Time Firing Curve provides a continuous, location-specific force mapped to the staple line. This enables surgeons to evaluate compression and firing irregularity that could be associated with tissue variation and further identify areas that may require additional attention along the staple line. The system also provides visual and audible feedback during key steps of the procedure, supporting intraoperative awareness.
In minimally invasive procedures, where direct tactile feedback and visualisation may be limited, this level of insight provides additional context to support surgical judgement. Anastomotic leak remains one of the most serious complications in gastrointestinal surgery and is often associated with variability in tissue condition and staple line integrity. This additional real-time insight provided by iREACH IRIS Firing Curve supports a more informed and consistent assessment of the staple line.
"At Genesis MedTech, we focus on translating clinical needs into practical solutions", said Mr. Warren Wang, Chairman and CEO. "iREACH IRIS reflects this approach by moving beyond conventional stapling to providing surgeons with clearer, real-time insights into tissue behaviour during the procedure".
Direction-TrueTM Articulation translates surgeon's intent directly into instrument movement, maintaining consistent articulation control even when the jaw is rotated. Combined with UltraflexTM 90 reload, iREACH IRIS achieves up to 90° articulation, extending beyond the 45° to 60° range of conventional powered staplers. This articulation is particularly important in anatomically confined procedures such as low anterior resection or single-port thoracic surgery, where access and positioning are critical to surgical outcomes. In such procedures, limited access may require repositioning or multiple firings - factors associated with increased tissue stress and procedural complexity. By enabling improved access, it supports objectives such as negative resection margins while preserving sphincter function. Curved Tip Technology and progressive height reload options further enhance access and tissue-appropriate staple formation across the full range of procedures, including general, colorectal, thoracic and bariatric surgeries.
Within the IRIS stapling platform, all patient-contact components are designed for single-patient use, eliminating the need for re-sterilisation and thus, simplifying workflow between cases. A reusable handle with a detachable power configuration ensures continuous device readiness, eliminating the downtime due to the need of handle recharging. The separation of reusable and disposable components reduces cross-contamination risk by design, rather than managing through reprocessing protocols, while supporting more responsible resource utilisation.
By combining real-time tissue insight with precision control and streamlined workflow, iREACH IRIS represents a new approach for powered stapling, designed to support a more informed and consistent surgical performance.

SHANGHAI, April 15, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Hanshow, a global leader in electronic shelf labels (ESLs) and digital retail solutions, today announced the completion of its full acquisition of HARB Data, a retail-focused AI and big data solutions company. Following the transaction, HARB Data becomes a wholly owned subsidiary of Hanshow.
This acquisition significantly strengthens Hanshow's core capabilities in in‑store data governance, analytics, and AI algorithms, enabling the company to deliver more efficient and smart technical support for retail customers across store operations, intelligent marketing, consumer experience optimization, and digital energy management.
As AI rapidly reshapes value creation in physical retail, data has become the foundational enabler—not only for AI deployment, but also for breaking physical boundaries and driving intelligent, scalable growth. As a key enabler of in‑store digital infrastructure, Hanshow continues to accelerate the development of its data services through multi‑scenario AIoT smart terminals. Following the acquisition, Hanshow's intelligent hardware portfolio will be deeply integrated with HARB Data's tech capabilities, enabling a closed-loop upgrade from intelligent sensing to intelligent decision‑making. This integration marks a fundamental shift from experience‑based operations toward AI‑driven growth.
Founded in 2015, HARB Data is an AI and big data solutions provider specializing in the retail and consumer sectors. Its core capabilities span precision marketing, full‑funnel business intelligence, and predictive analytics, supported by mature data‑modeling frameworks and proven expertise in advertising attribution and measurement.
This strategic integration goes beyond business expansion. By combining retail scenarios with advanced data and AI technologies, the acquisition strengthens Hanshow's data capabilities across environment coverage, data collection, campaign execution, and performance attribution. More importantly, it reinforces Hanshow's commitment to an open ecosystem—working closely with partners to co-create value and drive sustainable, data-driven growth.
In practical deployment, Hanshow leverages IoT touchpoints, including electronic shelf labels, in-store digital displays, and smart carts to collect first-party data such as customer traffic, user interactions, and transaction conversions in real time. HARB Data applies its proprietary AI algorithms and big‑data analytics to standardize data processing, generate actionable consumer insights, construct high‑fidelity customer profiles, and establish closed-loop attribution models. Together, these complementary strengths significantly enhance Hanshow's data service capabilities and create a differentiated, defensible competitive advantage.
Looking ahead, Hanshow will continue to deepen the integration of technology and retail scenarios, working closely with ecosystem partners to advance store digitalization into a new phase of high‑quality, AI‑driven development.
