Executive Summary
Marconi Medical Systems and Norland Medical Systems have signed a contract for Norland to distribute the Genestone 190 lithotripter, claimed by Norland to be the most affordable lithotripter of its kind available in the US today at less than $200,000. The company says that the US is lagging behind other developed countries regarding access to lithotripsy, "mainly due to poor price/performance ratio of existing systems that put them out of reach of community hospitals".
