      recently acquired by Christie Digital Systems USA, Inc., has signed an 
      exclusive national sales distribution agreement with New Alliance of 
      Independent Medical Distributors, Inc., DBA Alliance Medical. The 
      agreement, effective last month, aligns the medical device company with 
      Alliance Medical, the nation’s largest consortium of specialty medical 
      sales distribution companies for intravenous devices, with comprehensive 
      access to the U.S. acute, oncology and home health markets.

      distribution partner for the VeinViewer”
    
      “We’re thrilled with the opportunities that lie ahead for Luminetx and 
      Alliance Medical,” said Chris Schnee, General Manager and Vice 
      President, Sales and Marketing for Christie Medical Holdings. “This 
      partnership will expand the VeinViewer’s domestic reach, further 
      establishing vascular access imaging as an essential part of patient 
      care in every medical facility.”
    
    
      Alliance Medical’s sales force is comprised of more than 70 seasoned 
      representatives around the country, offering a full-range of medical 
      devices to customers including all 5,200 hospitals across the U.S. and 
      medical oncology markets. The distribution agreement will further expand 
      market penetration for Luminetx and allow both companies to provide 
      customers with a comprehensive vascular access portfolio, including 
      consumable products and innovative technologies such as VeinViewer.
    
    
      “Alliance Medical is very excited to become the exclusive U.S. 
      distribution partner for the VeinViewer,” said Gary Brown, COO of 
      Alliance Medical. “In conducting research, we found Luminetx to be the 
      leader in vascular access technology. Together, we plan to provide 
      superior clinical support, positively impact patient care and reduce the 
      cost of vascular access in the years to come.”
