frame especially in the US.'

In commenting on the timing and importance of this intended 
collaboration, Jaana Tuominen, General Manager at GE Healthcare’s 
Monitoring Solutions, 'This exciting new opportunity with PULSION 
Medical Systems will allow us to improve and continue to deliver the high
standards of care throughout Intensive Care Units across the world. The
planned technology integration will simplify the equipment set up at the
patient’s bedside, which will mean less use of space, less cable clutter
and better ergonomics for healthcare providers.'
