Both parties have agreed upon minimum annual purchase commitments for each country in the territories.

“CHC’s is a full service solution provider for high-end radiotherapy, neuroscience, surgical, and diagnostic imaging equipment and their practices are serving as a model for the use of advanced medical equipment in China”, stated Dr. Arun Menawat, Ph.D., M.B.A., President and Chief Executive Officer of NOVADAQ. “As such, they are the ideal partner to introduce NOVADAQ’s point-of-care fluorescence imaging technologies into the large and growing markets covered by the agreements announced today”.

The cooperation between NOVADAQ and CHC shall set a milestone for Taiwan’s medical industry. We strongly believe that SPY Imaging System will efficiently improve the outcomes of surgery in future“, stated Mr. Pei-Lin Lee, Chairman of Chiu Ho Medical Systems. “CHC is the market leader in Greater China region with strong presence. Therefore, we are very confident that we will successfully bring NOVADAQ’s products into the booming Asia market and create great value.”

About NOVADAQ Technologies Inc:
Enabling medical professionals with clinically relevant, point-of-care imaging solutions to enhance the lives of patients and their caregivers, while reducing health care costs, is NOVADAQ’s global mission. SPY® fluorescence imaging technology provides surgeons with real-time visualization, leading to improved outcomes and reduced costs without exposing the patient to radiation. More than 80 peer-reviewed publications demonstrate that the use of SPY imaging during complex surgery, leads to fewer post-operative complications and lower hospital costs.

SPY Imaging Systems are United States Food and Drug Administration 510(k) cleared for use in seven surgical specialties. The endoscopic version of SPY called PINPOINT®, combines the capabilities of SPY Imaging with high definition (“HD”) visible light visualization offered by conventional endoscopes. LUNA™ is used to assess perfusion in patients being treated for non-healing wounds. In August 2013, NOVADAQ acquired the surgical scintigraphy imaging technology, which is being developed for perioperative imaging of sentinel lymph nodes and tumor margins. Our unique business model of partnering with market-leading companies to drive adoption of our imaging technology, while building our own commercial infrastructure, is the cornerstone of our corporate strategy for growth.
