ACTUATED MEDICAL SIGNS INTERNATIONAL AGREEMENT FOR DISTRIBUTION OF ITS TUBECLEAR SYSTEM FOR CLEARING PATIENT FEEDING AND DECOMPRESSION TUBES

STATE COLLEGE, PA – Actuated Medical, Inc. reached agreement with United Kingdom’s Kimal PLC to distribute their TubeClear™ system throughout Europe, the Middle East, and North Africa. Located in Uxbridge, United Kingdom, Kimal is a worldwide leader in the marketing and distribution of medical devices.

TubeClear uses Actuated Medical’s proprietary mechanical motion technology to clear clogs in nasogastric (NG) feeding and decompression tubes. Clearing NG tubes prevents disruptions in feeding and medication delivery and allows clinicians to maintain their focus on improving patient care. The system, which is comprised of reusable control boxes and single-use clearing stems, is designed, developed, and manufactured by Actuated Medical in the United States.

Maureen L. Mulvihill, Ph.D., President of Actuated Medical, commented that, “We are thrilled to partner with a quality organization like Kimal and proud to have them distribute our products across the globe. This system will speed the process of unclogging tubes, save healthcare organizations significant money, and ultimately improve clinical care. The real bonus of this new partnership is the addition of Alan Press, CEO of Kimal, to our Board of Directors.”

TubeClear has been cleared by the FDA for commercial distribution and CE Marked. It is available throughout the United States, Europe, the Middle East and North Africa.
