Oak Ridge, TN, July 27, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Daxor Corporation (Nasdaq: DXR), the global leader in blood volume measurement technology, announces today an unaudited increase of 49.4% in sales of its single-use diagnostic kits by volume on a year-over-year basis, driven by a combination of the purchase and leasing of capital equipment, reference lab use, and the opening of twelve new commercial and academic accounts. Increase in single-use diagnostic kit sales grew an additional 10.4% in Q2 2022 over Q1 2022 reflecting continuing momentum. Sales reports a growing pipeline of additional acquisitions at major medical centers across the U.S. planned for the remainder of this year.
“Now that COVID restrictions have relaxed, our sales team has resumed daily on-site visits to drive acquisitions and implementation of our BVA-100 system including a new major win at a nationally ranked academic center in the Illinois Medical District,” said Jean Oertel, Sr. Vice President of Commercialization and Customer Experience at Daxor. “We have also expanded utilization with an additional capital purchase within the largest healthcare organization in South Carolina serving close to 1.5 million patients annually in a market area that covers 50% of the state.”
Michael Feldschuh, President and CEO of Daxor said, “I am proud of our continued double-digit growth as we remain focused on accelerating our commercialization strategy under Jean’s leadership. Daxor has also completed clinical studies on behalf of a major pharmaceutical company as well as continued execution of its contracts with the U.S. military. These activities are not reflected in the above numbers and generated additional revenue for the company.”
Daxor manufactures the BVA-100® diagnostic which provides precise, inexpensive, objective measurement of blood volume status and composition, providing clinicians with actionable results to optimize fluid management and improve patient outcomes while driving substantial cost savings throughout the healthcare system.
