Letter of Intent signed with Drager Medical
COMPUMEDICS LIMITED 2002-07-29 ASX-SIGNAL-G
HOMEX - Melbourne
+++++++++++++++++++++++++
Compumedics Ltd (ASX:CMP) headquartered in Melbourne, Australia, and
Pre & Post Hospital Care, a division of Drager Medical AG & Co KGaA,
headquartered in Luebeck, Germany, have signed a letter of intent for
the supply and development of sleep diagnostic technology.
Compumedics expects to realize an additional sales revenue of
approximately AUD$ one million (approx E0.55 million) in the initial
12-month contract period. Drager Medical will have exclusive sales
and marketing rights in Germany for Compumedics' Somte(TM)
cardio-respiratory monitoring units and non-exclusive rights in
France and Benelux. Both parties have also confirmed their intention
to cooperate on a broader technological and strategic basis.
The Somte(TM) system is a first of its kind - a lightweight medical
recorder that combines features of diagnostic sleep systems and
cardiac holter recorders. The very small (200 gram) device can be
used by a patient at home to provide information for early detection
of cardiac dysfunction. Somte(TM) was released to the European market
only three months ago after receiving the required European Union CE
regulatory approval.
Compumedics Executive Chairman, David Burton said, "To have a partner
of the international standing of Drager Medical is a significant
boost for Compumedics. The relationship will not only provide ready
access to an important part of the European sleep diagnostics market,
but also give us a technology partner without peer to work with on
the commercialization of new products."
The link is important for Compumedics' revamped international
distribution strategy. "We are now able to work with world class
companies such as Drager Medical to take Compumedics' sleep
technology to European customers," David Burton added.
Dr M Thijs A Teeling, General Manager, Pre & Post Hospital Care,
Drager Medical said, "The portable Somte(TM) diagnostic system is
ideally suited for the home health care sector, which has become a
major area of focus for our business. We are a leader in
state-of-the-art medical technologies, so adding the supply of sleep
diagnostic technology to our current product portfolio was a natural
fit. Finally, we look forward to working with Compumedics to develop
other products for the European markets."
The diagnosis and treatment of sleep disorders is a rapidly growing
field of medicine worldwide. In the United States alone, there are
already 2400 specialist sleep treatment centres, with the market
growing at over 10% per annum.
