GE Healthcare, the healthcare division of General Electric
,
announced today the acquisition of Unisyn Medical Technologies' Transactional
Business, a leading national provider of comprehensive ultrasound probe repair
solutions to biomedical and clinical engineers, headquartered in Golden, CO.
Financial terms were not disclosed.
The proprietary products and services from Unisyn will be integrated into GE
Healthcare's Global Services organization and be offered initially to
customers in the United States and Canada. Global expansion is expected to
start by the end of the year. Unisyn's Diagnostic Imaging Field Services
business will operate independently under a new name.
“The combination of Unisyn's repair expertise and GE's scale will provide
value by meeting customers' needs with a fast, cost effective and reliable
probe repair solution,” said Mike Swinford, President and CEO of Global
Services for GE Healthcare. “We see this as a tremendous opportunity to
further grow our Ultrasound and Services footprint globally and look forward
to providing our customers a cost effective solution at every step of the
Ultrasound product lifecycle.”
Ultrasound customers around the world are challenged as they struggle to
manage their broad ultrasound fleet of probes. They seek low cost, high
quality solutions that can increase their uptime and reduce repeated failures.
Unisyn is uniquely positioned to test and evaluate ultrasound probe failures
with its proprietary FirstCall™ probe-testing device. This patented technology
enables Unisyn to diagnose, repair, and thoroughly test each and every probe
before shipment back to the customer. FirstCall provides objective measures of
probe performance through testing the acoustic and electrical properties of
ultrasound probes.
“This transaction makes great sense for our stockholders, our employees and
most importantly our customers,” said Jeff Soinski, CEO of Unisyn Medical
Technologies. “Our ultimate goal at Unisyn is to deliver value for our
customers and together with GE our transactional business is positioned to do
this better than ever before. Through this acquisition, GE Healthcare will now
be able to offer customers a complete probe repair solution spanning across
multiple vendor platforms as well as a broad portfolio of on-demand offerings
to meet customers' unique needs.”
