Sectra unveils figures from 9-month interim report

Medical IT and technology company Sectra announced earnings figures from May 2015 to January 2016 this week while also calling attention to the company’s recent success in KLAS customer service survey.

Sectra’s net sales for that nine-month period totaled more than $89 million, and operating profit totaled more than $12 million.

Also, Torbjörn Kronander, Sectra president and CEO, noted in a prepared statement that Sectra was once again ranked No. 1 in customer satisfaction, according to KLAS research.

“For the third consecutive year, Sectra topped its segment in the industry’s most important customer satisfaction survey for IT systems in healthcare,” Kronander said. “The survey was performed by the analyst company KLAS, and our system for managing medical images, Sectra PACS, was ranked highest in Europe, the US and globally. Sectra was awarded top ratings for the stability and ease-of-use of its system, as well as for its employees, proactive service, high-quality implementation and training. This ranking in the KLAS survey shows that customers have a high level of confidence in Sectra and our ability to help them deliver efficient healthcare of the highest quality."
