While Diasonics set up a separate company to sell Vingmed ultrasoundscanners in the U.S. cardiology market, Siemens moved in the oppositedirection last month. The German vendor initiated consolidationof the sales and service staff of its cardiology-focused ultrasounddivision in San Ramon, CA, with the radiology and vascular groupat Quantum Medical Systems in Issaquah, WA.

Siemens decided to combine the two sales and service groupsto provide a unified focus for its ultrasound business and improveresponsiveness to customers, Edelheit told SCAN. The unified salesand service group will handle scanners in the cardiac, radiology,vascular and ob/gyn private-office markets.
