Swiss Medical Care (SMC), a Swiss company focused on innovative solutions for diagnostic imaging/contrast media delivery and ViVid imaging, the largest independent contrast injector service, sales and parts support company in the United States, have entered into a long-term sales and service partnership.

ViVid imaging is the exclusive service representative of Swiss Medical Care in the United States for the new Multi-dose, Syringe-less CT Expres III contrast media injector. ViVid imaging is a distributor of Swiss Medical Care products. "This agreement represents a major step in our growing success around the CT Expres III, combining the quality of our products with the quality of ViVids service organization for the direct benefit of every customer in the U.S. says Dr. F. Neftel, CEO of Swiss Medical Care. "ViVid's unmatched service capacities combined with the cost effectiveness and user friendliness of Swiss Medical Care CT-Expres III will result in an unparalleled option for radiology teams and institutions" says Dr F. Cornu, VP marketing and sales of Swiss Medical Care.

We welcome the opportunity to be a part of this exceptional product and the SMC team. The CT-Expres III exemplifies SMCs achievement for delivering quality products while ushering in a new era of contrast injection technology," says Scott Scofield, President of ViVid imaging.
CT Express is the first FDA approved multi-dose / syringe-less injector for CT scan. It represents a completely new approach to the delivery of contrast media and the use of disposables which simplifies the preparation of the injector.

Safety combined with a non-time-consuming preparation overcomes a major issue in the daily routine. With CT Exprs, contrast media is drawn directly from the contrast media bottles. Therefore there is no need to recharge the syringe or make replacement in-between patients.

Less manipulation is required for each procedure and change over from patient to patient is dramatically shortened to help increase safety and workflow.

The patient- and procedure-driven approach of the CT Exprs also helps to reduce the waste of contrast media. Through the flexible contrast media reservoir the multi-dosing capabilities result in the right dosage for each patient and procedure. The use of larger contrast media bottles reduce cost as well. Furthermore, the automatic saline flush feature allows for no residual contrast media left in the tubing.

Since the multidosing capability is flexible, the user can tailor the volume of delivery to the specifics of the patient, without waste. This also appeals to the technical X-ray professionals who may be interested in dosing, based on patient weight or condition.

Having two fluid sources provides greater flexibility for the professional to multidose, or to incorporate automatic saline flush along with injection.

Finally, because the system uses no syringes, it save of labor and reduces waste. The result is more efficient imaging operation. The flexibility to incorporate new protocols for better patient care and higher throughput adds up to greater profit for the scanning center.
