/PRNewswire/ --

Getinge Online, the prominent online service that simplifies the work

of healthcare professionals around the globe by giving instant access

and in-depth knowledge on Getinge's equipment, has been honored

with the Gold in Connected World Magazine's 2012 Value Chain

Awards. The jury specifically pointed to how Getinge Online is

transforming Getinge from an equipment provider to a full solution

provider and service partner to its healthcare customers.

"With Getinge Online we wanted to create something that would really be a

game changer within the infection control business," says Mr Anders Buch,

Strategic Program Manager at Getinge IT Solutions. "And at the same time we

wanted to push the limits of what can be done with web and mobile

technologies. This award proves that we succeeded."

Getinge Online is a tool that enables users of Getinge's reprocessing equipment

to access information about the equipment's status at any time and from

anywhere. Instead of overviewing the sterilization or disinfection process

manually and on the spot, medical staff and service technicians can now follow

the process on their computers or even mobile devices wherever they are.

Thanks to instant notification when a machine has completed a process or

otherwise needs attention, productivity can be maximized. Statistics shown

graphically alongside data on the equipment's performance also make it easier

for any technical support staff to solve problems early and minimize downtime.

The true differentiator of Getinge Online is the unique Customer Portal, which

was developed by Getinge IT Solutions at the company's development centers

in

Copenhagen, Denmark

and Lviv,

Ukraine

. Since

January 2011

the portal has

been available to Getinge's customers around the world, and is now in

operation in the US, the UK,

France

,

Italy

,

Norway

,

Denmark

,

Canada

,

Netherlands

,

Sweden

, the

Middle East

and even in the

Bahamas

.

"Getinge Online has been an invaluable tool for us and has proved to be very

positive for our facility," notes Mr Carmen J Ferriero, Sterile Processing

Manager at Albany Medical Center in NY,

United States

. "As a manager, Getinge

Online, has made my life easier, as I receive real-time information about an

error by text, which then allows me to be responsive and to instruct my staff

properly, even when I am not present. It has resulted in decreased equipment

downtime."

The award was presented to Getinge at a gala dinner during the Annual

Connected World Conference in

St Charles, Illinois

on

June 12

th

, 2012.
