Company officials said this strategic agreement would help Device Technologies Australia to achieve its goal of safely, accurately and cost-effectively automating the preparation of Oncology I.V. The arrangement would complement its other market-leading oncology and surgery robotic solutions.
Officials said that CytoCare is the world's first and only robotic system designed for the safe and sterile preparation of patient-specific hazardous IV Admixtures.
"We are thrilled to have been chosen by Health Robotics as their exclusive CytoCare partner for Oceania,” said Peter Ord, CEO of Device Technologies Australia, in a statement. “CytoCare, a-one-of-its-kind solution, represents an ideal complement to our market-leading CyberKnife and da Vinci Surgical System robotic solutions.”
Ord said that he is impressed by the introductory work that a small foreign company like Health Robotics has been able to do in both Australia and New Zealand, and are eager to take the "baton" from Health Robotics and continue their work in the company’s core markets, expanding the reach of CytoCare to other hospitals in Oceania.
Device Technologies believes that CytoCare has the potential to become the gold standard for Oncology I.V. Admixtures in Oceania, equally protecting clinicians and patients.
"Device Technologies is the right type of strategic partner for Health Robotics in Oceania due to its well known commitment to patient safety, company stability and market footprint, world-class service infrastructure and complementary oncology surgery robotic technologies,” said Werner Rainer, CEO of Health Robotics, in a statement.
Rainer said that the Device Technologies Team represents a knowledgeable, highly-skilled, committed, resourceful, and customer-focused organization, which is precisely what Health Robotics requires at this moment in time to take CytoCare to the next level of market acceptance and customer-service focus in Oceania from the initial steps the company undertook with Peter McCallum Cancer Centre's installation of CytoCare at the beginning of 2009
Health Robotics is the global supplier of life-critical intra-venous medication preparation, compounding, and dispensing Robots, providing healthcare facilities in four continents with robotics technology and software automation solutions.
