Medical diagnostic firms join in market dogfight
A new inflight medical diagnostic system is being launched here at the NBAA show, claiming to be cheaper and easier to use than existing equipment.

A new inflight medical diagnostic system is being launched here at the NBAA show, claiming to be cheaper and easier to use than existing equipment. EMS-Link (Booth No. 2079) is priced at $9,980 per aircraft annually and, according to company CEO Paul Egan, requires absolutely no training for cabin crew.

However, established diagnostic system suppliers TeleMedic Systems (Booth No. 671) and Remote Diagnostic Technologies (RDT, Booth No. 3868) have expressed skepticism about both the price and performance claims of their new competitor. They are displaying their respective VitalLink 1200 and Tempus 2000 systems here in Orlando this week.
