Polymedco, Inc. and MMS‐A Medical Supply Company Sign Agreement for Distribution of ESR

April 17, 2012 - PRLog -- April 17, 2012:

Polymedco is pleased to announce a new agreement with MMS‐A Medical Supply Company for distribution of its line of erythrocyte sedimentation rate analyzers. This agreement includes distribution of the sedrate line including Sediplast® manual sedrate, automated systems Sedimat® 60, Sedimat® 15, and Sediten.

“We are excited about this new alliance with MMS. Their presence in the POL and small hospital market will bring much exposure and offer many physicians access to our products.,” said Drew Cervasio, president of Polymedco.

Sedrate testing is non‐diagnostic and measures the amount of inflammation within the body by calculating the rate at which red blood cells settle. These tests are often ordered on patients presenting with vague symptoms, unexplained fever or arthritic symptoms. They are also ordered to help monitor certain types of necrosis or illnesses that are autoimmune or inflammatory. Elevated sedrate levels may also be due to infection, contrastly, lowered serate levels can hint to other conditions such as congestive
heart failure.

Polymedco’s sedrate line features an array of products with read times ranging from the standard 60 minutes to as little as ten minutes. The Sediplast® line features a safety closure system, self zeroing reservoir and optional pre‐filled diluent. All automated
analyzers feature a small footprint as well as random access which gives the laboratory technicians the convenience to walk away from the instrument and have the results recorded via LIS, printer or instrument save and display. The Sedimat® 15 can process up to 32 results in one hour while the Sediten® can process up to 48 test results in one hour. Also to be offered are Sed‐Chek® 2 controls which are made from human red blood cells and known for superior product performance. These controls have incredible
stability, are easy to mix and can be stored at room temperature. They also offer a QC program with peer review available at no extra charge.

MMS is very pleased with our alliance with Polymedco and look forward to partnering with them to bring this line of sedimentation rate analyzers to our mutual customers”, said Tony Gadzinski, Vice President of Marketing & Business Development of MMS.
