Premier Awards Sixth Consecutive Contract to Instrumentation Laboratory for Critical Care Portfolio

August 10, 2011 By Bio-Medicine.Org

BEDFORD, Mass., Aug. 10, 2011 /PRNewswire/ — Instrumentation
Laboratory (IL) today announced that it has been awarded a
three-year contract for its critical care portfolio with Premier
Purchasing Partners, the group purchasing organization of the
Premier healthcare alliance.  This is the sixth contract
Premier has awarded IL since 1998.  Additionally, IL was named
the sole blood gas and critical care testing supplier for
ASCEND™ (Accelerated Supply Chain Endeavor) Premier member
hospitals.  The ASCEND program, in which a subset of Premier
membership participates, is designed to help healthcare providers
achieve and sustain rapid improvements in supply chain
performance.

The contract covers IL’s portfolio of critical care analyzers,
reagents and consumables, including IL’s flagship product, the
GEM® Premier™ 4000 analyzer for blood gas, electrolyte
and metabolite and integrated CO-Oximetry testing.  This
analyzer features IL’s patented Intelligent Quality Management
(iQM®), a real-time, automated, continuous quality assurance
system.  Also included, GEMweb® Plus Custom Connectivity
software offers remote access to any networked analyzer for
real-time supervision and status updates, as well as management of
automated and operator certification and advanced regulatory
compliance.  

“Our successful relationship with Premier has spanned more than
a decade, during which time IL has achieved continued growth and
market leadership,” said Brian Durkin, Vice President, North
America Sales and National Accounts at IL.  “Further, being
named the only critical care testing supplier on the ASCEND
contract demonstrates the confidence Premier has in us and our
products, and underlines our shared commitment to quality and
customer satisfaction.”

In addition to the GEM Premier 4000, IL’s contract with Premier
includes the GEM Premier 3500 critical care analyzer and GEM OPL, a
portable CO-Oximeter
