Analogic Corporation confirmed its support for the Ultrasonix product line upon completion of the acquisition of Ultrasonix Medical Corporation, a supplier of ultrasound systems for point-of-care and general imaging applications. Ultrasonix has more than 5,000 systems installed worldwide and would bring ultrasound products, technology, and sales channels complementary to Analogic’s ultrasound business.
Founded in 2000, Ultrasonix has a broad portfolio of both portable and cart-based ultrasound systems with a recognized brand used primarily for point-of-care applications such as emergency medicine, anesthesia, and reproductive medicine, as well as general imaging in emerging markets. Analogic’s BK Medical ultrasound solutions are used in procedure-driven markets—urology, surgery, and anesthesia.
The acquisition transaction is expected to close in late February 2013.
