SonoSite and UltraLinq Healthcare Solutions Announce Distribution Agreement
March 25 2010 - 9:00AM
Business Wire
SonoSite, Inc. (Nasdaq:SONO), the world leader and
specialist in hand-carried ultrasound for the point-of-care, and
UltraLinq Healthcare Solutions, Inc., a leader in web-based
ultrasound and image study management, today announced a new
distribution agreement. This partnership provides SonoSite with the
exclusive right to market the UltraLinq service within Emergency
Medicine and a non-exclusive right to market UltraLinq within other
medical specialties.
“The decision to work with SonoSite was a logical evolution of
our distribution strategy. SonoSite brings to UltraLinq
unparalleled expertise within the point-of-care ultrasound market,
and a national sales team which understands its customers. With
expanded access, SonoSite’s customers will benefit from UltraLinq’s
ability to deliver ‘Anytime, Anywhere Image Management &
Reporting,’” said UltraLinq’s CEO, Stephen Farber. “Recent
technological advances have dramatically improved the capabilities
and clinical flexibility of point-of-care ultrasound, bringing
diagnostic imaging directly to the patient’s bedside and other
environments where ultrasound was not previously possible.
UltraLinq facilitates the ability to access records from any
location, whether in the next room or across the globe.”
“By definition, point-of-care ultrasound provides doctors with
greater mobility to treat patients, whether they are in a hospital
or office setting. As a result, there is now a greater need for an
improved patient management system that is equally as flexible,”
SonoSite’s Vice President of Competitive Strategy and Innovation,
David Willis, commented. “UltraLinq offers physicians the tools
they need to effectively manage patient reports, including the
ability to review images and data remotely, collaborate on exams,
credential, and bill for studies. By incorporating UltraLinq to
address documentation and compliance issues, we also believe that
physicians will be able to operate in compliance with HIPAA
regulations more effectively.”
