HealthLink Europe is Helping TransMedics®
Expand Its Presence Throughout Europe
RALEIGH, N.C., and TILBURG, the Netherlands (Business Wire EON) April 14, 2008 --
HealthLink Europe,
an ISO 13485 Medical Device Support Services and Distribution Company
that has been providing European customer service and logistics support
to the North American device industry since 1994, announced today that
it is working with TransMedics®
to help the company expand its presence throughout Europe. TransMedics
has developed the world’s first commercial,
portable, warm blood perfusion system for use in organ transplantation
called the Organ
Care System (OCS™) —designed
to maintain organs in a warm, functioning state outside of the body to
optimize function and enable continuous clinical evaluation. As a
result, hearts beat, lungs breathe, kidneys produce urine, and livers
produce bile.
“HealthLink delivers our product to our
customers in the quickest and most efficient manner possible,”
says Elizabeth Ewaschuk, Director of Supply Chain for
TransMedics. “They’re
right there in Europe. They speak multiple languages, so they can
communicate with our customers with ease no matter where in Europe they’re
located. And when the call comes in, they have our product from their
warehouse to our customer as soon as the customer needs it. That’s
just one of the reasons why they are extremely important to us. I would
be lost without HealthLink. I really would.”
“We are extremely proud to be a part of the
critically important business of TransMedics,”
says Richard “Rick”
Hughes, President of HealthLink Europe. “And
we also are very proud to be a material factor in their tremendous
success.”
