$250K SLEEP DIAGNOSTIC DEAL WITH PRESTIGIOUS US CHILDREN’S HOSPITAL
- Compumedics wins USD180K ($250K) contract to supply one of California’s most prominent Children’s hospitals with its sleep diagnostic equipment
- Milestone achievement in creating a key reference site in the US State of California where the Company has little penetration to-date
- New contract re-enforces Compumedics strategy to expand its core business in major global medical device markets
- This Children’s hospital has a goal of becoming the US’s most technologically advanced and chose Compumedics sleep equipment
Compumedics Limited (ASX: CMP) (“Compumedics” and “Company”) is pleased to announce that it has secured a contract to supply its sleep diagnostic equipment to one of the US’s most prestigious Children’s Hospitals, located in the San Francisco area.
The contract win is in line with the Company’s stated goal of growing its core businesses, including sleep diagnostics, into world markets, including the US and in particular, California, where the Company has had little market penetration to date.
In commenting on Compumedics’ win, Dr David Burton, Chairman and CEO of Compumedics, said:
“Compumedics has spent more than a decade building its US business, during which time the west coast of the US has not been a significant market for the Company. With this win and other Company activity in California the Company is committed to growing its presence in this large US state (some 45m people reside in California).
As a result, Compumedics is well positioned to capture growth, not only in sleep diagnostics, but also in neurological monitoring, in California.
The Company is pleased this new contract builds strongly on our growing presence in the US, built from a loyal base of existing customers and staff.”
