Mon, 17th Dec 2012 07:45

Cardiovascular monitoring company LiDCO confirmed that it has acquired the existing LiDCOrapid customer base from Covidien, its previous US distribution partner, as it beefs up commercial opportunities in the US.

CEO Dr Terry O'Brien said: "With the above changes to our sales arrangements in the US we are now better placed to drive disposable sales and can now more readily discuss additional commercial opportunities with potential partners in the US market."LiDCO also expects its new product LiDCOrapid v2 to drive increased disposable use in 2013 and beyond after an 'encouraging' response at the American Society of Anesthesia (ASA) annual meeting in Washington, US and the European Society of Intensive Care (ESICM) meeting in Lisbon, Portugal.
