GE Marquette and CadioDynamics Sign Technology Agreement

GE Marquette Medical Systems (Milwaukee) and CardioDynamics International Corp. (San Diego) have agreed to jointly develop and integrate CardioDynamics' proprietary BioZ Impedance Cardiography (ICG) technology into GE Marquette's Solar patient monitoring systems.

The agreement expands the present business relationship between the companies, which provides GE Marquette with exclusive rights to market and sell BioZ products to hospitals in the United States and select international markets.

This collaboration between GE Marquette and CardioDynamics will allow the companies to combine research and development resources to accelerate development of ICG technologies. The BioZ ICG module is expected to be available in Solar patient monitoring systems in the first half of 2001.
