Motryx announces partnership with Aerocom
Simple and reliable validation of Pneumatic Tube Systems for blood sample integrity monitoring
Halifax, Canada, December 2020 – Motryx, provider of blood transport validation and verification services, today announced a partnership with Aerocom, a global leader in Pneumatic Tube Systems, for the joint provision of VitalQC – a quality assurance tool to validate pneumatic tube installations for safe and effective transport of blood samples with minimal impacts on integrity and diagnostics.
The efficiency of pneumatic systems has made them standard in most large hospitals worldwide; however, they must be confirmed as safe for the transport of blood samples from patient to lab. Under this new agreement, Aerocom will use Motryx’s VitalQC to monitor and continue to innovate on their >2000 hospital installations and will be the European provider of VitalQC to 10 European countries: Germany, Netherlands, Belgium, Switzerland, Norway, Spain, Italy, France, UK and Ireland.
“Aerocom pneumatic tube systems have been designed to reduce the impact on blood sample transport. Quality assurance for blood transportation in pneumatic tube systems is quickly becoming a requirement for our customers to satisfy regulatory requirements. With the Motryx agreement, Aerocom raises the bar in providing quality assurance. This agreement enables Aerocom to offer an even better and more complete solution to laboratories and hospitals around the world,” said Roland Pfitzer, CEO at Aerocom.
“Since Motryx’s inception, we have focused on developing a new standard for quality control for Pneumatic Tube Systems – one that is simple, repeatable, and robust. VitalQC provides a framework to check existing installations, or to facilitate the transition to occupancy for new builds. Our agreement with Aerocom provides assurance to their customers in markets with a strong focus on quality control, such as Germany and Scandinavia. With VitalQC, all hospital stakeholders can trust that their PTS will deliver blood products and clinical samples safely to their destination and will fulfill accreditation requirements. With over 2000 installations in hospitals worldwide, Aerocom is an ideal partner to bring VitalQC to market,” said Dr Franziska Broell, CEO at Motryx.
The agreement is effective immediately and allows for pneumatic systems to be validated and verified with little to no blood, streamlining and simplifying the process for all hospital stakeholders, including the lab.
