ImageXpres Corporation (PINKSHEETS/exchange>: IMJX), today announced it has signed a Distributor/Supply Agreement with Dalton Corporation, a Taiwan-based manufacturer of digital hardware and software products, that are sold throughout the world, including private label for well-known brands. The signing of the distributor agreement paves the way for marketing and sales of ImageXpres systems solutions in Asia, with an initial focus on ImageXpres' Surg-i-Scan™ digital checklist system.
Under the terms of the agreement, Dalton will supply ImageXpres key digital hardware components, including all-in-one PCs, tablet PCs, and MIDs (Mobile Internet Devices), which will be integrated into ImageXpres digital solutions. Dalton's large network of electronics manufacturers, based in China and Taiwan, assures ImageXpres access to state-of-the-art digital devices, at industry-low cost points. The digital hardware products supply agreement encompasses ImageXpres' medical and digital kiosk/signage systems.
As a key supplier of digital hardware products, and components, to ImageXpres, Dalton has signed a contract to be ImageXpres' key distributor of ImageXpres solutions into mainland China, Japan, Australia, and Southeast Asia.
John Zankowski, ImageXpres President and CEO, states, "We are very pleased to have signed a distributor/supply agreement with Dalton Corporation, located in Taipei County, Taiwan. Dalton brings world class manufacturing, and experience in distribution and sales of digital products, for rapid commercialization of ImageXpres solutions. Sean Tien, President of Dalton, is very excited about our partnership, and sees great market potential for our Surg-i-Scan™ digital checklist system in China and other regions of Asia where Dalton already has a presence.
"The analog, custom-designed Surg-i-Scan™ Safety Checklist boards are currently available for sale by ImageXpres. The Surg-i-Scan™ system incorporates several unique features, providing a comprehensive documenting of each surgical procedure performed at the hospital. The benefits for the patient are the driving force for adoption of the checklist system by surgeons and hospitals. In addition, documentation of correct procedures by the operating team should lead to fewer lawsuits and lowered insurance premiums for doctors and medical centers, resulting in lower delivery costs and improved patient care."
The ImageXpres Surg-i-Scan™ Safety Checklist digital system is now under development, and will be fully tested in hospital market trials before being generally available.
