Germitec is once again honoured to be nominated for the 2022 Prix Galien International Award for Best Medical Technology. The innovative technology has positively changed clinical workflow practices and provided a significant impact in minimizing the cross-infection risk of pathogens in decontaminating ultrasound probes that move from patient to patient. Especially for Womens Health (IVF), Radiology/imaging, and in the context of ultrasound-guided procedures and pulmonary ultrasound examinations in Emergency, Intensive Care, or Resuscitation.
The Prix Galien International Awards Committee, chaired by Dr. Sue Desmond-Hellmann, Chair of the Prix Galien USA and Prix Galien International Awards Committees and former CEO of the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, is comprised of 13 global leaders in healthcare.
