C-RAD received orders for two Catalysts and one Sentinel from a clinic in Norway. The Chinese distributor ordered a package of three Catalyst and five laser systems.
The hospital in Kristiansand decided for the fully equipped Catalyst System including Respiratory Gating and also the modules for Patient Positioning and Motion Monitoring. The installation will take place beginning of 2014. Kristiansand is a cooperation partner to Oslo University Hospital. The entire group includes also the radiotherapy center in Gjøvik, Ullevål, Rikshospitalet with all together more than 20 linear accelerators.
The systems to the Chinese market will be installed in different radiotherapy centers in the larger area of Beijing and Shanghai. The major part will be delivered before the end of this year. The installations are expected within the first half of 2014.
Tim Thurn, CEO, C-RAD AB:
“I am very satisfied with the two large orders. It was a successful start with our new cooperation partner in China. We see a strong interest among the customers for the C-RAD products but also for the new laser systems. Kristiansand will be the second installation in Norway where patients and personnel can enjoy the benefits of C-RAD technology. Other radiotherapy centers in the group showed already interest in C-RAD products. The first three quarters developed successfully for C-RAD. We expect the same development in the last quarter.”
