Integrated Surgical Systems, Inc. (ISS) signs a letter of intent with FUJIFILM Medical Systems, USA (Fuji) for it to purchase additional technology and marketing rights for its Synapse system for the Picture Archiving and Communications Systems (PACS) market.
Davis, CA (PRWEB) December 2, 2004 -– Integrated Surgical Systems, Inc. (OTC:RDOC.PK), a world leader in medical robotics and image-directed, semi-autonomous robotic products for surgical applications, announced today that it has signed a Letter of Intent with FUJIFILM Medical Systems, USA (Fuji) for it to purchase certain additional technology and marketing rights for the PACS market to those already granted under the current product development agreement. Both parties will immediately enter into negotiations to arrive at definitive agreements that are subject to formal approval by the respective Board of Directors.
A development agreement already exists between the two Companies and it calls for ISS to employ its proprietary, FDA cleared 3D planning software technology to develop 2D/3D orthopedic surgical planning software which will be jointly integrated into Fujis Synapse system. This new agreement will formalize Fujis plans to market the product that is already under development and offer opportunities for closer integration of the technologies of both organizations.
Fujis strong worldwide market position in the rapidly growing PACS market makes it an ideal partner for ISS. The strong proprietary and leadership position of ISS in the Orthopedic software technology area led Fuji to enter into this expanded relationship" added Dr. Ramesh C. Trivedi, President & CEO of Integrated Surgical Systems.
