In August Medica welcomed eight participants representing six international dealers for on-site EasyRA training. The session’s purpose was preparing dealers to install, maintain, troubleshoot and repair EasyRA in the field. “Dealers were very impressed with the ease of operation, low maintenance, efficient replacement and new service videos,” commented Medica’s Michael Holzapfel, “and they are anxiously awaiting full release.”

Another successful AACC show. This show continues to grow in size and importance and Medica is proud to be growing right along with it. We had our largest booth yet (40’) and next year I hope to do even more. The AACC show is a great opportunity for me to meet with many of our international distributors and this year was no exception. I would like to thank all of the distributors who made time in their busy day to stop by and see us. I hope everyone enjoyed the show and I look forward to seeing all you again next year in Chicago.

The Medica team showcases the new EasyRA chemistry analyzer.

It’s time again for the Medica exhibition in Düsseldorf, Germany. This year we will be showing two products due for release in early 2008: EasyRA and EasyStat Cl. Visit us in Hall 3, the Massachusetts Pavilion, Stand 3F16.

The release of EasyRA is the most exciting new product in the history of the company. We have all been waiting eagerly for this new biochemistry analyzer, and I believe once you see it perform you will agree that it’s been worth the wait. Stop at our Medica booth and ask for a demonstration, since an EasyRA will be on display.

We are also introducing the latest version of the successful EasyStat blood gas analyzer. We added the capability to switch between Ca and Cl on a single platform. We had many requests for this feature, and I’m sure it will boost EasyStat sales in all territories.

I will be at our booth all day, along with Ms. Charlene Soley (Product Manager) and Mr. Doug Moe (VP Business Development). Please visit us to see what’s new, or just say hello.

Randall Rollins (center, green shirt), Medica’s Technical Service Manager, visited Istanbul in May. Thirty-one representatives from Eastern and Western Europe, the Middle East and Asia attended the regional service training session.

Randall also visited area hospitals. Shown below are Arzum Keskin, Sales Manager for Labora, Hande Akman, Labora’s Operation Manager, and a staff member.

Nearing final stages of development is Medica’s first, true random access, clinical chemistry analyzer, “EasyRA.” Offering the reliability of larger instruments, EasyRA will be an easy-to-use, economical, bench-top design. EasyRA is fully automated, with 24 sample positions and 24 reagents on board, designed to accommodate the diverse needs of the physician’s office or small lab. Look for EasyRA at AACC San Diego in July.

Medica joined over 2,000 companies from 70 countries at the Middle East’s largest health care trade show, Arab Health, January 29-February 1.
