Uscom appoints new US distributor for USCOM 1A monitor
Monday 16th of June 2014: Uscom (ASX code: UCM)
Uscom Limited is pleased to announce the appointment of Unetixs Vascular Inc, Rhode Island USA, as a distributor for the USCOM 1A. Unetixs Vascular Inc is a leading US manufacturer and distributor of vascular monitoring equipment and has been appointed nonexclusive USCOM 1A distributor for the USA for a period of 3 years.
Unetixs is a fully owned subsidiary of Opto Circuits (India) Ltd. Opto is an acquisitive, vertically integrated, global medical technology manufacturer and distributor specialising in primary, acute and critical care products with an annual revenue in the order of $250m USD. Opto acquired the US Companies Criticare in 2008, and Unetixs and Cardiac Science in 2010.
Executive Chairman of Uscom, Rob Phillips said, “Unetixs is an innovative US medical device manufacturer and distributor specialising in cardiovascular assessment devices. The USCOM 1A, as well as being a standard of care in critical care medicine, has an expanding role in monitoring cardiovascular disease and hypertension and is a neat fit with the Unetixs product range. This appointment follows the expansion of Uscom into the field of blood pressure and vascular assessment with the acquisition of the BP+ central blood pressure monitoring device in June last year. Unetixs parent Company, Opto Circuits India Ltd, is a world leader in the field of medical devices for primary, acute and critical care markets with a commitment to rapid global growth and we welcome this partnership.”
Uscom manufactures and markets the USCOM 1A and the Uscom BP+, both premium cardiovascular devices changing the approach to diagnosis and treatment of cardiovascular diseases, including hypertension and heart failure. The two products are also integral for optimising management of sepsis and guidance of fluid, inotropes and vasoactive therapies.
