LUMEDX Corporation & Mennen Medical Sign Strategic Partnership

LUMEDX Corporation (Oakland, CA, USA) and Mennen Medical (Tel Aviv, Israel) have announced the signing of a strategic partnership agreement to provide a total, integrated catheterization (cath) lab data solution and seamless stream of hemodynamic cardiovascular patient data to their customers.

The partnership is intended to help heart centers perform cath lab procedures using an efficient and flexible workflow and continuous clinical patient data from the holding area, throughout the procedure room and into the recovery room. The agreement is part of both companies' desire to complement their individual product lines so that their mutual customers will enjoy a consolidated cath lab solution which combines the CardioStar Cardiovascular Information System (CVIS) and picture archiving and communication systems (PACS) software modalities of LUMEDX with Mennen Medical's full suite of hardware products for the cath lab, including its new hemodynamic system, the Horizon XVu, its patient monitoring systems, and its recording systems into one integrated solution.

"This strategic partnership between LUMEDX and Mennen Medical will provide cath labs with the widest and strongest integrated data solution that is currently offered in the United States market and it takes advantage of the different technologies that exists in each of the companies," said Angelia Adzic, president of Mennen Medical in the United States. "We hope that the next stage of this partnership will be to take this powerful solution global."

"Medicine has long been hampered by disconnected information silos, a need now being addressed aggressively by the recently enacted economic Recovery Act," said Allyn McAuley, CEO of LUMEDX. "Mennen and LUMEDX have partnered to address one of the most critical information areas--the diagnostic and invasive cardiovascular cath lab--with a solution that unites all forms of clinical and administrative information in a seamless web. Caregivers and administrators will enjoy ubiquitous access to the most granular cath lab information and images, under single sign-on, within the hospital or in the ambulatory setting."

Mennen Medical's new XVu System is embedded with an ultramodern interface and analysis system and has an intuitive graphic interface, enabling various layouts to suit both cardiac and peripheral angiography procedures; The LUMEDX CVIS provides a complete data and image management environment for cardiology, cardiac surgery, and vascular medicine.
