Randox to supply leading health care
company with third party quality controls
CRUMLIN, NORTHERN IRELAND, UK - Mar 3, 2014 - Randox Laboratories has further expanded
its market presence in the US, having been awarded a major supplier
agreement with Novation, the largest hospital and healthcare
purchasing organization in America.
The contract means Randox third party quality control products,
which are widely considered to be the most accurate in the world,
will now be readily available to Novation members across the
States.
Randox is one of the largest manufacturers of third party
quality control products in the world. Quality Control is the
bedrock of patient blood testing as it helps laboratories assure
accuracy in their testing procedures. If errors occur during
testing, this can result in misdiagnosis and inappropriate or
delayed treatment, which ultimately can be life threatening for the
patient.
Novation manages purchasing contracts for more than 600
suppliers including VHA, United Healthcare, Children's Hospital
Association and Provista LLC, which in turn manage the supply chain
for more than 100,000 healthcare facilities. In 2012 their combined
purchasing power amounted to almost $43 billion, a marketplace in
which Randox aims to take a firm foothold as a leading supplier of
clinical diagnostic quality control products.
As part of the deal, Randox will be the only supplier of quality
control products available through Novaplus, an exclusive package
for Novation members which delivers the best financial value on the
products healthcare facilities use most.
Steven Jordan, Global Business Manager, Randox QC said:
'This deal with Novation is a strategically important step in
Randox's expansion in the US, and we are delighted that our
world-leading QC products will now be available for use in many
more laboratories throughout the States. I am confident that the
quality and range of products available from Randox will make us
stand out in the Novation supplier portfolio.'
