AtCor Medical (ASX: ACG), the developer and marketer of the SphygmoCor® system which measures central aortic blood pressures and arterial stiffness noninvasively, today announced that it has signed a contract to supply SphygmoCor systems and clinical trial support services to a major international pharmaceutical company. Systems will be placed at sites throughout Europe and North America. The value of the contract is approximately US$3.2 million.
Duncan Ross, CEO of AtCor Medical said, "We are delighted to have secured this significant contract. This, together with the pharmaceutical contract announced in August, represents a very good start to our financial year.
"This contract is with an existing client that we have worked with for a number of years. The non- invasive measurement of central blood pressure and arterial stiffness is particularly important for drug development, which requires accurate, insightful data to fully understand the efficacy of new drugs. It is encouraging that AtCor's gold standard technology, data management and support services are being validated through repeat business from the pharmaceutical sector." About AtCor Medical
