DANBURY, Conn.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--US-based Perosphere (Perosphere Technologies Inc.), a private medical technologies company, today announced that it has signed an agreement with M3 Medical, a Uniphar Medtech business and a leading Irish medical device distributor, for the exclusive distribution of Perosphere’s innovative Point-of-Care (PoC) Coagulometer, Perosphere ClotChek™, in Ireland.
With this agreement, Ireland will be the first country in which Perosphere ClotChek will become available to hospitals and health facilities.
Many patients require anticoagulants, which help prevent blood clots and stroke. Perosphere ClotChek is the only pharmacodynamic, reagent-free diagnostic tool for use at the point-of-care, i.e., bedside. ClotChek test results can assist doctors and other health care professionals (HCP) in the rapid diagnosis of coagulation status and enabling informed treatment decision-making in emergency and other medical settings. Perosphere ClotChek provides HCPs with diagnostic results in 3-8 minutes.
Perosphere ClotChek has a CE Mark in the European Union.
“We are excited to partner with M3 Medical based on the company’s longstanding expertise and demonstrated success in the medical device market to improve patient care,” said Daryl Mootoo, Chief Operating Officer of Perosphere. “We trust in M3 Medical’s capabilities to bring Perosphere ClotChek to healthcare providers in Ireland and help us change the current standard of testing and care in anticoagulation management.”
“When searching for a distributor for Ireland, in addition to operational excellence, we also wanted a partner with a well-established team,” said David Walker, Vice President of European Sales of Perosphere. “M3 Medical, now part of Uniphar Medtech, has deep relationships with clinicians, hospitals, and clinic decision-makers, making them an ideal partner.”
M3 Medical is a leading medical device distributor for interventional cardiology, radiology, neuroradiology, and vascular surgery in Ireland and the United Kingdom. M3 Medical is part of Uniphar Medtech, a European medical device distributor headquartered in Ireland with a strong presence across 21 markets.

Mr. Dolan added, “We are proud to enter into this exclusive agreement in order to help improve patient outcomes and reduce health system costs in Ireland.”
