Accurate, reliable results, received quickly, help inform key patient management decisions clinicians make every day.
Acute Care
Launch of new flagship product and growth across all product lines
For Acute Care, 2024 was a year of excellent business growth across product lines and geographies, coupled with the commercialization of key innovations. Of note, we commercially launched our new flagship product, the GEM Premier 7000 with iQM3, a breakthrough in blood gas testing, in the United States. This system offers hemolysis detection at the point of care, for the very first time. This significant innovation has the potential to enhance both efficiency and patient care in hospitals around the world, as it continues to be commercialized in hospitals around the world.
Finally, in December, we opened a new building, expanding our innovation capabilities in Specialized Diagnostics, at our Hemostasis and Acute Care Diagnostics Technology Center in Bedford, MA. This adds 105,000 additional square feet and represents an investment of more than US $50 million. It also increases our capacity from 1,200 employees today, to 2,000 employees, allowing growth in our Innovation program for several years to come.
