CASMED Engages Gamida to Distribute FORE-SIGHT® Oximeters in France

Product line now available in 18 countries worldwide

BRANFORD, Conn. (April 16, 2014) - CAS Medical Systems, Inc. (NASDAQ: CASM) (CASMED), a leader in medical devices for non-invasive patient monitoring, today announced that it has signed an agreement with Gamida to serve as the exclusive distributor of the Company's FORE-SIGHT® Cerebral Oximeters in France.  

Gamida has been an independent distributor of high-quality medical products in France for more than 50 years.  It has 26 sales representatives and four clinical specialists supporting more than 2,300 customers in France, with a primary focus on anesthesia, cardiac and vascular surgery and critical care.

"Establishing high-quality distribution in the world's fifth largest medical products market represents another key milestone for our Company," said Thomas Patton, CASMED's President and CEO.  "With Gamida's expansive reach and intimate knowledge of this untapped market for FORE-SIGHT oximeters, we expect this relationship will add another source of growth for FORE-SIGHT revenues." 

"We look forward to working closely with Gamida to establish the FORE-SIGHT ELITE Oximeter as the market leader in France by empowering clinicians to provide better care to their patients," said Karen Coleman, CASMED's newly appointed Executive Vice President of International Sales.  "With this latest distribution agreement, our FORE-SIGHT line of products is now available in 18 countries worldwide including the U.S., China, Germany and France."

"The FORE-SIGHT product will be a natural complement to our current physician call point," said Carole Dautremant, Executive Vice President of Gamida.  "The occurrence of oxygen desaturation during and after surgery is becoming a real concern, and with a best-in-class monitoring system we look forward to educating the marketplace about the risks while simultaneously establishing FORE-SIGHT as the solution of choice."
