Angeion Corporation Awarded National Contract by Amerinet

Angeion Corporation (NASDAQ: ANGN) announced that it has been awarded a three-year contract with Amerinet – a leading national healthcare group purchasing organization – for its MedGraphics® cardiorespiratory diagnostic systems. The agreement is effective July 1, 2010. It offers Amerinet members and partners access to MedGraphic’s systems that diagnose and monitor therapy in a wide spectrum of heart and lung disorders, such as congestive heart failure, asthma and other forms of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD).

Amerinet has more than 2,500 acute care hospitals and 25,000 alternate care members in its network of healthcare providers. With MedGraphic’s full clinical product line, Amerinet customers will be able to: offer simple spirometry—or breath measurement—in clinics and physician offices; complete pulmonary function testing in hospital laboratories; assess cardiopulmonary exercise in rehabilitation and sports medicine centers; and provide nutritional evaluations in critical care units.

"We are pleased that Amerinet, one of the nation’s largest group purchasing organizations, recognizes the diagnostic value that our MedGraphic’s systems can provide to the patients and physicians in their network,” said Rodney A. Young, Angeion’s President and Chief Executive Officer. "We share Amerinet’s goal of providing high quality care and reducing costs across the entire continuum of health.”

MedGraphic’s technologies provide clinical professionals with essential information to noninvasively assess and successfully manage their patients’ care. These cardiorespiratory diagnostic products are used in leading medical centers throughout the United States and in more than 75 countries around the world.
