Marketwired
ImageXpres Corporation (PINKSHEETS: IMJX) today announced further
details about its "digital" surgical safety checklist system,
designed to re-enforce and document improved surgical safety
protocols resulting from hospital use of surgical safety checklist
boards now being sold to hospitals in the U.S.
ImageXpres is working closely with a number of medical surgical
supply organizations in order to reach thousands of hospitals in a
timely manner. The U.S. market is estimated at over $25 million
annually, based upon the number of surgical operating suites, and
could reach over $100 million annually by 2012.
John Zankowski, ImageXpres President and CEO, states, "The
ImageXpres Surg-i-Scan(TM) Safety Checklist System, and
accompanying checklist boards, signals the beginning of a new
systems platform for digital interactive medical systems from
ImageXpres. This is the first of several new software/hardware
systems we have been developing for the past year, and one that
should prove to be very beneficial to the medical surgical
marketplace."
The analog, custom-designed Surg-i-Scan(TM) Safety Checklist
boards are currently available for sale by ImageXpress. The
ImageXpres Surg-i-Scan(TM) Safety Checklist digital system will be
fully tested in hospital market trials before being generally
available by fourth quarter.
The company will be announcing sales and distribution
partnerships with companies already selling medical products to
hospitals and operating rooms, which are looking for new products
to distribute, in the U.S. and internationally.
Mr. Zankowski concludes, "This particular product is one that
clearly can benefit every hospital and surgical suite no matter
where they are located. The WHO study has documented the benefits
to hospitals and patients, in terms of lowered deaths and lowered
surgical procedural errors, thus saving lives and improving
healthcare delivery. We are pleased to be a part of the WHO
initiative, and we are working diligently to reach the thousands of
hospitals and out-patient surgery centers who need our
product."
"The Surg-i-Scan(TM) system incorporates several unique
features, providing a comprehensive documenting of each surgical
procedure performed at the hospital. We believe the benefits for
the patient are the driving force for adoption of the checklist
system by surgeons and hospitals. In addition, documentation of
correct procedures by the operating team will lead to fewer
lawsuits and lowered insurance premiums for doctors and medical
centers, resulting in lower delivery costs and improved patient
care."
