Testimonial

“We bought our USCOM about 3 years ago, and we use it routinely to manage fluid and sepsis, and we love it; it’s changed the way we see and manage haemodynamics The physicians all use the USCOM, and many of the senior trainees.

Echocardiography is difficult and inaccurate, and takes so much training its not feasible for us, and paediatric cardiologists are never around at 2am in the morning when things go wrong We have had many patients whose lives were saved directly through use of the USCOM”

Manufacturing Strategy

Three phase manufacturing growth strategy 1 Uscom – In house assembly and testing 2 Outsourced – Local purchase + manufacture 3 Outsourced – International logistics + manufacture

Depends on demand and volume – shifting as required

==> picture [69 x 81] intentionally omitted <==

www.uscom.com.au

==> picture [62 x 459] intentionally omitted <==

Current Manufacturing

Phase 1

  • USCOM 1A and BP+ - manufactured, tested and quality controlled by Uscom

  • Sub assemblies are outsourced (local and international)

  • Build to minimal inventory

  • Component lead time - 2 to 15 weeks

  • Minimum quantity orders are delivered in drops which can be called in for peaks in demand

==> picture [69 x 81] intentionally omitted <==

==> picture [62 x 459] intentionally omitted <==

Future Manufacturing

  • Phase 2

  • Local volume manufacturer

  • Uscom involvement in logistics

  • Phase 3

  • High volume manufacture

  • Asian/European based

  • Full procurement

  • Global supply chain
