The acquisition will consolidate a range of hardware, and consumable products for a growing market in cost-effective infection control products, and ultrasound transducer reprocessing.

PCI Medical is a leader in the market for Joint Commission and US Food and Drug Administration (FDA; Silver Spring, MD USA)-compliant infection control products for ultrasound transducer disinfection, and storage devices.

Charles Klasson, president of CIVCO, said, "We are excited to expand our portfolio to include the ASTRA and GUS product lines for infection control management. This offering fits well with our current call points in radiology, men's and women's health and infection control departments, and will help CIVCO to expand our presence in the USA."
