Tecnosan S.r.l., C-RAD’s Italian distributor, has placed an order to C-RAD amounting to 12 MSEK for multiple Catalyst+ HD units. The order is connected to the national tender that was awarded in 2022, managed by the Italian health authorities and e-procurement group Consip, where Tecnosan ranked first in the lot for SGRT system in linac/treatment rooms and third in the gating lot.

As announced in December 2022, Tecnosan’s placement as primary supplier led to an order amounting to 46 MSEK. Recently, due to a high demand of SGRT solutions in the country and installation activities of many units proceed apace, the SGRT lot availability has been extended by 30%, leading to a new order of 12 MSEK to C-RAD and to more hospitals that will be equipped with SGRT technology.

Delivery and installation of the systems are expected to take place from Autumn 2024 to the end of the Summer 2025.

Cecilia de Leeuw, CEO and president of C-RAD, comments:
“I would like to congratulate the Tecnosan team for the tremendous effort they are putting into installing a significant number of SGRT systems and training new users in a short period of time. We are very proud of this long-lasting partnership. I would also acknowledge the massive adoption of SGRT technology across the country and seeing the Italian C-RAD network growing.”

Mattia Dell’Orsola, CEO of Tecnosan, says:
“In the past 11 years of partnership with C-RAD, we have been devoted to our efforts on radiotherapy and SGRT. Our commitment in this direction has also been rewarded with this important order. I would like to personally thank our team for the work they do every day with professionalism and enthusiasm, thanks to which we have introduced the use of SGRT systems to users across the country.”

The extension of the national tender provides further evidence that SGRT is a standard of care in Italy and is becoming an indispensable tool for radiotherapy departments in order to perform positioning, motion monitoring and Deep Inspiration Breath Hold treatments.
