Health Robotics Releases ASHP's IV Robotics Vendor Survey [2013] In Preparation for ASHP's Summer Meeting

BOZEN, Sud-Tirol, Italy, May 30, 2013 /PRNewswire/ --

Health Robotics today released to the pharmacy community its official answers to the ASHP's IV Robotics Vendor Survey[2013], in conjunction with its pre-planned activities around ASHP's Summer Meeting and Exhibition (Booth 425), to be held June 1 through June 5 at the Minneapolis Convention Center [MN].

Several Health Robotics' prospective customers submitted to the company during the last few months copies of the ASHP's recommended IV Robotics Vendor Survey, seeking from Health Robotics' its answers to ASHP's recommendations. While Health Robotics answered prospective customers individually, it now decided to post its official answers for the rest of the pharmacy community to consider. http://www.health-robotics.com/en/compare-products/ASHP-IVRoboticsSurvey.pdf

Gaspar DeViedma, Health Robotics' Executive Vice President stated: "I look forward to ASHP's Summer Meeting and Exhibition this week, and to personally thank the North American pharmacy community for their confidence in making Health Robotics the undisputed leader in its industry only 2 years after it began operations in the USA. With more than 100 North American installations currently under contract, I expect that number to reach 200 installations by the end of 2013, which would have not been possible without the leadership of our key customers."
