What Vivosonic does
Vivosonic Inc. is a privately held Canadian medical device company founded in 1999 and headquartered in Toronto, Ontario. The company develops, manufactures, and markets the Integrity V500 System, a modular auditory diagnostic platform used for newborn hearing screening and electrophysiological assessment of hearing in difficult-to-test populations, including infants in NICU settings, children with developmental conditions, and adults who cannot cooperate with behavioral testing. Its core competency is advanced signal processing and filtering applied to auditory evoked potentials (AABR, ABR, OAE, ECochG, ASSR, VEMP, and cortical evoked potentials). The platform is anchored by three proprietary technologies: the patented Amplitrode/VivoAmp in-situ bio-amplifier, SOAP Adaptive Processing based on Kalman Weighted Averaging, and VivoLink wireless recording, which together enable non-sedated, electrically resilient ABR testing in environments such as the NICU and operating room.
Vivosonic sells the Integrity V500 as a hardware-plus-software platform with a modular configuration (ABR Diagnostic, ABR Screening, OAE, ASSR, ECochG, VEMP, 40 Hz ERP) and generates revenue through one-time hardware/licensing sales, replacement parts and accessories, and recurring software updates and customer support. Pricing is not publicly disclosed; prospective customers are routed through a Request a Quote workflow or referred to distributors. The go-to-market is distributor-led across more than 55 countries, with E3 Diagnostics as the primary US distributor (covering 30+ offices nationwide) and Midwest Special Instruments covering five Midwestern states; Vivosonic maintains direct sales only for Eastern Canada. The company also maintains a careers page, indicating organic hiring, though no executive leadership team is publicly disclosed in the source data.
The company is ISO 13485:2016 certified and MDSAP certified via Intertek (certificate 0113691, January 9, 2025), supporting multi-jurisdiction regulatory compliance. There is no disclosed external funding, no recorded M&A activity, no parent company, and no subsidiaries. Product evolution has been steady rather than disruptive: the Integrity V500 G2 launched in 2015 as the current platform, the Aurix standalone newborn screening product was discontinued in 2020 and folded into the Integrity platform, and the company has released iterative software updates (Version 8.11 in 2023, 8.12.6 in 2024) culminating in the Integrity 9 Series (Version 9.4) in 2026, which added VEMP with EMG monitoring and a new Balance Testing package.
