Nihon Kohden wins $35m patient monitoring deal with US Defense Dept.

The American division of Japan’s Nihon Kohden (TYO:6849) won a Pentagon contract worth more than $35.3 million, the U.S. Defense Dept. said yesterday.

The 1-year deal, which has 8 1-year extension options, calls for Irvine, Calif.-based Nihon Kohden America to supply the U.S. Air Force, Army, Navy, Marine Corps and federal civilian agencies with its patient monitoring equipment, according to a press release.

Nihon Kohden earlier this year reorganized its operations, replacing a product line-specific structure with “a focus on unified healthcare solutions.”

“In today’s rapidly evolving healthcare environment, not only do healthcare organizations need to be able to share information quickly, they must have solutions that work across the entire system to enable real change, which Nihon Kohden delivers,” Nihon Kohden America CEO Dr. Wilson Constantine said in prepared remarks back in April. “We have reconfigured our offerings to expand our breadth across all of the different care areas, and provide a holistic and integrated view. We have been bringing technology that offers unrivaled quality and reliability to healthcare for decades, and our new brand identity reflects the industry leadership that has been a central part of our brand since the company began.”
