Indianapolis, IN - October 14, 2008 - ProSolv Cardiovascular, a FUJIFILM company, is pleased to announce the signing of a new sole source agreement with McLaren Health Care Corp, Flint, MI. The multi-hospital system will implement cardiovascular image and information systems (CVIIS) for cardiac catheterization and echocardiography, utilizing ProSolv CardioVascular’s leading image management and reporting systems at all McLaren facilities.

One of the top 25 integrated health care systems in the US, McLaren includes eight regional hospitals in Michigan, with plans to further expand the healthcare enterprise into the east and west sections of the Michigan market.

"ProSolv CardioVascular’s status as a leader in the market solidifies our conviction that this agreement will help our corporation expand its reach while providing the best possible patient care."

The multi-year agreement names ProSolv CardioVascular as McLaren's sole source vendor for both cardiovascular information solutions and associated services. The company's CVIIS is a web-based, vendor- and hardware-neutral, software-only solution offering full integration of all cardiovascular modalities. The web-based functionality of the system offers users a single point of entry to instant image viewing, advanced quantification and reporting capabilities from any location. With the single common database design, clinicians and staff are able to easily access the information they need to work efficiently and deliver superior care.
