ImageXpres Corporation (PINKSHEETS: IMJX) today announced that its
Surg-i-Scan™ "digital" Surgical Safety Checklist system has been
approved by Apple Corporation and is now available as an Apple
software "app" via the Apple iTunes Online Store. The Surg-i-Scan™
"digital" surgical safety checklist software has been designed to
reinforce and document improved surgical safety protocols in
hospitals and outpatient clinics using or considering use of
surgical safety checklists during surgical procedures.
John Zankowski, ImageXpres President and CEO, states, "We are
extremely pleased that the ImageXpres Surg-i-Scan™ 'Digital'
Surgical Safety Checklist Software App has been fully tested and
approved by the Apple software development team, and is now ready
for large-scale utilization by hospitals, clinics and physicians'
offices. As previously announced, the downloadable software is
available as a free, evaluation application by the hospital
surgical staff to determine its effectiveness and performance in
their own operating rooms.
"We are most confident that doctors and nurses will find the
Surg-i-Scan™ Safety Checklist software extremely useful in its
present form, and we are confident that use of the software app by
surgeons and nurses will result in major sales of standalone
Surg-i-Scan™ software sales. In addition, we are anticipating sales
of hospital-wide client server extensions of the Surg-i-Scan™
safety checklist software, with certain HIPAA privacy and security
features incorporated. Also, a very important result is the
expected exponential increase in sales and utilization of physical,
analog Surg-i-Scan™ Safety Checklist boards by hospitals just now
considering adoption of a surgical safety checklist protocol."
Mr. Zankowski adds, "Once the hospital surgical team has
downloaded and used the free software app, customized Surg-i-Scan™
software, with requisite enhancements and design fields specific to
that institution's approved protocol, it will be licensed to the
hospital for a fee, on a one-time, per user basis. ImageXpres will
provide all upgrades and support for the software, as well as
back-up storage for hospital provider personnel, at a yearly or
monthly rate. In the custom Surg-i-Scan™ software versions, several
unique productivity, storage and communication features will be
available for hospitals and clinics seeking to incorporate surgical
safety checklist protocols into their Electronic Health Record
(EHR).
"ImageXpres is working closely with ITX Corporation, a key Apple
software development partner, also located in Rochester, NY, along
with a number of medical surgical supply organizations, in order to
reach thousands of hospitals and deliver custom software, in a
timely manner. ImageXpres and ITX have identified major software,
hardware systems, and services offerings for the growing healthcare
market, beginning with the Surg-i-Scan™ Safety Checklist System,
and both companies expect to capitalize on the competitive product
advantages of their strategic business relationship. ImageXpres
recently announced the hiring of a lead apple software developer,
and the company is in the process of becoming a certified Apple
software developer.
"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. The market for other invasive
procedures where safety checklists are used, such as IV /
Transfusions, emergency room, diagnostic procedures,
labor/delivery, is ten times as large.
"ImageXpres currently manufactures and markets analog,
custom-designed Surg-i-Scan™ Safety Checklist boards for operating
rooms, and the new digital software product will augment the
effectiveness of the analog Surg-i-Scan™ Safety Checklist boards,
providing valuable documentation of all surgical procedures on an
ongoing, daily basis. As an example of the synergy between digital
and analog surgical safety checklist products, ImageXpres has been
working with a Texas hospital consortium, designing and
manufacturing custom analog surgical safety checklist boards, and
the digital software version can provide effective, timely
documentation of the improvements generated by use of surgical
safety checklists within the group."
Mr. Zankowski, concludes, "We are very excited about the
availability of our Surg-i-Scan™ 'digital' Safety Checklist
product, as it is one is one that truly can benefit every hospital
and surgical suite no matter where they are located. The WHO study
has documented the benefits of surgical safety checklists for
hospitals and patients, in terms of lowered deaths and lowered
surgical procedural errors, thus saving lives and improving
healthcare delivery. Our Surg-i-Scan™ 'digital' Surgical Safety
Checklist product is unique in the industry, and now makes it
affordable and easy for any hospital, in any country, to test out
the usefulness of a surgical safety checklist process, and make
immediate improvements in patient safety. Our goal is to make the
digital checklist very affordable for millions of hospital
providers, thus generating strong market pull for this unique,
patient safety product."
