Exergen Corporation, the global leader in infrared temperature measurement technologies for medical applications, is excited to announce that Exergen and Sidem SpA have signed an agreement for the sales and distribution in Italy of the full line of Temporal Artery Thermometers for medical and at-home use.
“Sidem SpA is based near Milan. We are a leading provider for globally acknowledged brands in the medical devices and equipment sector in Italy for both professional use and consumer applications,” says Dr. Amabile Mandelli, CEO at Sidem. “We are specialised in supporting both professional users and consumers when it comes to taking temperatures. We focus on two target audiences. This first are hospitals, elderly homes and other professional healthcare institutions. At the same time we work with retail/pharmaceutical organisations and other consumer focused sales channels. We support both target markets with highly advanced yet easy to use medical products and services. That is exactly the reason why we feel Exergen’s Temporal Artery Thermometer is a perfect addition to our product line.
The Temporal Artery Thermometer uses highly advanced algorithms to produce very accurate measurements of the core body temperature of patients. Because the procedure of taking a patient’s temperature is so easy to perform we are convinced that the productivity of nurses and doctors in Italian hospitals will greatly benefit from the use of Exergen’s Temporal Artery Thermometer. For consumers the Temporal Artery Thermometer is very easy to use, even when taking the temperature of a young child or baby,” Dr. Mandelli added.
Sidem will sell the full family line of Exergen’s Temporal Artery Thermometers:
- TAT-5000S-EC for professional use in hospitals
- TAT-2000-EC for elderly homes, school systems and other professional health care institutions like home care
- TAT-2000C-EC for at-home use
