Ortivus and SCHILLER sign distributor agreement

Ortivus AB and SCHILLER AG have decided on a collaboration through a distributor agreement for the Nordic market. The agreement gives Ortivus the opportunity to offer SCHILLER’s FRED easyport® plus defibrillator, which together with MobiMed becomes a competitive total solution for prehospital care and primary care.

Through the distributor agreement, Ortivus will be given the opportunity to supplement quotations with FRED easyport plus, a powerful defibrillator with a total weight of 780g. The agreement is non-exclusive and applies to all Nordic countries. SCHILLER's defibrillator will be offered as a complement to MobiMed, which means that Ortivus now can deliver an inclusive solution with an unmatched modularity.

“We are very pleased to announce this agreement as the combination of MobiMed and FRED easyport plus constitute a very competitive total solution. Now we can offer our customers high performance products to a uniquely low weight, which is highly prioritised in prehospital care and primary care,”  says Reidar Gårdebäck, CEO, Ortivus.

“With the recent product release of the FRED easyport plus we are expanding SCHILLER’s offering of its unique small-size AED technology. The agreement with Ortivus is an excellent opportunity to further penetrate the emergency and rescue market in the Nordic region,”  says Peter Neleman, Director of International Business Development, SCHILLER.

The collaboration also includes software integrations to allow treatment data from FRED easyport plus to seamlessly be transferred to MobiMed monitor and electronic patient record.
