RE: Today's News I carefully read the news and forward looking statements aside, I see it as strong and positive news with the "meat and potatoes" of it copied below. Necker Hospital shows a high Ievel of confidence in VMS. I like the idea of them campaigning the product in Europe.
"We are pleased to start using the VMS at our facility in Necker Hospital," said Damien Bonnet, professor, chief of pediatric cardiology at Necker Hospital. "Access to MRI is limited at our site and VMS allows us to provide better and more efficient patient care." Mr. Bonnet added: "The right ventricular volumes that are obtained from VMS are as accurate as MRI and we feel comfortable making clinical decisions using VMS. VMS is easy to use and quick to acquire and analysis the data."
Yann de Tonquedec, president of Cardio-Systemes, said: "My partner, Dr. Mirochnik, and myself are very excited to start distributing such a great product in France, it fills a market gap and we see good market potential in France." Dr. Mirochnik also works at the echo lab of Hopital Europeen Georges Pompidou.
"We are actively engaging more customers in France and adding a reputable company such as Cardio-Systemes will allow us to grow faster and better serve our customers by having a local presence," said Amol Karnick, vice-president, sales and business development, of Ventripoint. "We continue to grow our European network of reference centres and will be adding more distributors in various European countries."
