Press Release, July 17, 2006
– MedAssets contracts with Ampronix for Medical Imaging Products and Peripherals.

Irvine, CA (July 17, 2006) – With the relationship entering its third year, Ampronix Inc. has announced the renewal of an agreement with MedAssets to provide medical imaging products and peripherals to MedAssets member facilities.

Ampronix provides cost savings to member facilities from a wide range of manufacturers, including savings on new equipment, refurbished units, and on a complete range of service and repair options.

Ampronix, based in Irvine California, has been serving the medical imaging market since 1982. They continue to offer the very best in peripheral hardware solutions, from the newest technology to repairing or upgrading the oldest technology. “You can trust the Ampronix staff to provide the best solution at the price point you need,” says Michael Prange, Strategic Accounts Manager. “Unlike many companies that just ship boxes or fill orders, the staff at Ampronix strives to work with each customer to make sure they get a solution that fits their needs, not just the product they are asking for.”

With today’s complex digital systems, PACS, HIS/RIS, DICOM networks, analog and digital integrated technologies, finding the right solution is often more complicated than it may seem at first glance. The experience and technical expertise that Ampronix offers is truly as much a value as the factory direct pricing they are able to offer. Add in ability to buy new or refurbished medical imaging equipment, special MedAssets Member pricing, and a full, factory authorized service center and members get a virtual one-stop shop for all their imaging needs.

“It is MedAssets’ goal to provide customized and flexible solutions for each customer, including access to the highest quality products at a reasonable cost,” stated Rand Ballard, president of MedAssets Supply Chain and Business Services Group. “The addition of Ampronix to our contract portfolio is in line with this objective.”
