Swissray says sales volume grows 54 percent

Swissray International Inc.'s sales volume reached a new high during the month of December, improving 54 percent as compared to first quarter sales.

The company says the numbers are attributed directly to 10 new orders for their digital Radiography ddR systems.

University Hospital Health System in Cleveland purchased two ddRModulaire units, while Hackley Hospital in Muskegon, Mich., ordered three ddRModulaire Plus systems.

Additional orders were received from University of Louisville (Ky.) Hospital; Edwards Healthcare System in Naperville, Ill.; St. Joseph's Hospital in Stockton, Calif.; Nacogdoches Memorial Hospital in Nacogdoches, Texas; Scott Memorial Hospital in Scottsburg, Ind.; and Ingalls Memorial Hospital in Tinley Park, Ill.
