Under terms of the agreement, C7 will license Continuum to Dalcon and Dalcon will have rights to market and distribute Continuum worldwide. C7 and Dalcon will collaborate in on-going design development of the product and customized applications.
“We were searching for a firm with great vision and a proven track record to help us build better information and communication systems at the bedside,” said Bobby Addison, CEO of C7 Technologies. “In Dalcon we have found an ideal partner. They have an impressive record of reliability and a visionary leadership team.”
“Our goal as a company is to bring better care and impeccable quality to the patient at the moment it is needed. We are constantly looking for solutions that help us meet that important goal.
