Uscom appoints three new UK distributors

THE ROADHOUSE PHARMACY: Uscom Limited (ASX: UCM) has appointed three new specialist distributors of the company’s Uscom BP+ suprasystolic oscillometric blood pressure monitor in the United Kingdom.

MediMax Global and Healthwatchers have been appointed in England, and Castleblack Health in Ireland.

MediMax Global UK Ltd., established in 2007 is an approved accredited supplier to the NHS and NHS Supply Chain in the UK.

The business is focused on diagnostic devices and consumables for the detection of cardiovascular and peripheral vascular disease in both primary and secondary care markets and in preventative cardiovascular care.

Healthwatchers is a small distributor with expanding programs in the UK home care and preventative health care markets.

Castleblack Health Ltd is a medical device sales company based in Ireland that will promote the Uscom BP+ to the General Practitioner and Cardiology market in Ireland.

The BP+ received the CE Mark in February 2014, allowing the Uscom BP+ device to be sold into the European Economic Area.

“The appointment of these three specialist distributors in the UK will shift our profile and deliver our technology into the hands of new users,” Uscom executive chairman Rob Phillips said in the company’s announcement to the Australian Securities Exchange.

“Each of these distributors is specialized in the GP and home care clinical markets of hypertension and vascular health, and each have a commitment to disruptive technologies and excellent science.

“The Uscom BP+ suprasystolic blood pressure monitor suits their sales models perfectly.

“We are currently preparing to manufacture the Uscom BP+ and these distributors are a vital link in a new network of global BP+ distribution planned to come online in the next 12 months as manufacture increases to meet growing distributor demand.”
