Vigmed receives first larger order for the arterial catheter SWiTCH

After less than one month of testing the SWiTCH needle protected safety arterial
catheter with end-users, one of the major distributors in Europe has placed a
first larger order for delivery in October.
 “We are obviously pleased with this order and the positive feedback we are
receiving from the market. Short term, this will ensure that we deliver on our
monthly sales forecast for October. Even if order levels are modest, we now see
four consecutive months of increasing sales," says CEO Finn Ketler. “The initial
uptake of SWiTCH indicates that our development team has successfully managed to
connect different aspects of the user needs for such products.”

The SWiTCH product offers users a safer method for gaining access to a patient’s
radial artery than products currently on the market. The current products are
associated with risks of both blood spillage and needlestick injury, both of
which are minimised by the SWiTCH needle protected safety catheter. Access to
the radial artery for monitoring and blood testing is often needed for
critically ill patients or those that are undergoing more complicated surgical
procedures.

As the SWiTCH product still is in a market test period and for competitive
reasons, the identity of the distributor will not to be named in this press
release.
