Leading Ultrasound Guidance Device Manufacturer Acquires Ultrasound Transducer Disinfection Equipment Company

The acquisition will consolidate a range of hardware, and consumable products for a growing market in cost-effective infection control products, and ultrasound transducer reprocessing.

PCI Medical was acquired by CIVCO Medical Solutions and will enable CIVCO to add storage and high-level disinfection and reprocessing of ultrasound transducers to their portfolio. PCI Medical is a leader in the market for Joint Commission and US Food and Drug Administration (FDA; Silver Spring, MD USA)-compliant infection control products for ultrasound transducer disinfection, and storage devices. CIVCO Medical Solutions' Multi-Modality Imaging (MMI) unit designs and manufactures accessories for diagnostic and therapeutic imaging, and interventional procedures, especially for the ultrasound market. CIVCO's new ASTRA family of devices received FDA 510(K) clearance in 2015, and enables CIVCO to enter the market for cardiology, women's and men's health products.

Charles Klasson, president of CIVCO, said, "We are excited to expand our portfolio to include the ASTRA and GUS product lines for infection control management. This offering fits well with our current call points in radiology, men's and women's health and infection control departments, and will help CIVCO to expand our presence in the USA."
