AtCor Medical (ACG), the developer and marketer of the SphygmoCor® system, which measures central blood pressures and arterial stiffness noninvasively, and SunTech Medical Inc., a leader in noninvasive blood pressure products and technologies, announced that they have entered into an exclusive, multi-year worldwide clinical trials distribution and data management agreement.
SunTech technology is especially well-suited for clinical trials, and features the patented OrbitTM blood pressure cuff, which is specifically designed for ambulatory wear, thus promoting patient comfort and compliance and improving data yield. This expansion of core lab services offers pharmaceutical companies, CRO’s and other researchers from a single source, greatly improved reliability and quality of information on the effects of drugs on central and peripheral hemodynamics-critically important data in identifying drug benefits as well as potential patient risk.
