Saranas® Awarded Multiple Purchasing Contracts with Large Healthcare Systems
Saranas announces today the closing of the company’s two largest Integrated Delivery Network (IDN) contracts and agreements signed to date: CommonSpirit Health and the Department of Defense.
CommonSpirit Health, encompassing all Catholic Health Initiative (CHI) and Dignity Health hospitals, has awarded Saranas a multi-year contract for the use of the Early Bird® Bleed Monitoring System through Premier’s Supply Chain Advisor platform. CommonSpirit Health represents 199 hospitals spread across 21 states nationwide. They are the country’s third largest IDN with approximately $30B in net patient revenue.
In addition, Saranas has been approved for a Distribution and Pricing Agreement (DAPA) by the Department of Defense (DoD) for the use of the Early Bird. This agreement opens up access to the military hospital system which provides care to more than 10 million service members, military retirees, and their families. It encompasses 162 VA’s and 36 DoD hospitals, representing more than $60M in medical device spending per year.
Saranas’ Early Bird Bleed Monitoring System is the first and only FDA-approved device for real-time detection and monitoring of endovascular bleed complications. CommonSpirit Health hospitals and the military hospital system will now have access to this new, one-of-a-kind technology for bleed monitoring, replacing the current paradigm of waiting for symptoms to appear.
“The Early Bird’s ability to detect bleeds well ahead of complications is significant in helping to reduce intra-procedural and post-procedure complication risks, length of hospital stays, and overall healthcare costs, while greatly improving the patient experience,” said Saranas Vice President of Sales Frank Natale. “We are excited to work with the clinicians and administrators at CommonSpirit Health and the DoD following their decision to partner with Saranas, and we look forward to providing access to the Early Bird at many more hospitals.”
