Minneapolis-based Agiliti, a national provider of healthcare technology management and service solutions, announces that it has acquired Zetta Medical Technologies, LLC, a provider of medical imaging equipment services and parts, based in Lake Zurich, Ill.
“Zetta’s specialized capabilities and technical expertise are an ideal complement to our expanding platform of clinical engineering services,” says Tom Leonard, CEO of Agiliti. “This acquisition builds upon our outsourced and supplemental biomedical service models and enables us to further extend into full-service clinical engineering for high-end imaging devices. Our teams share a common approach based on the highest quality standards of medical device management, as evidenced by our mutual certifications to ISO 13485:2016. I look forward to delivering our combined capabilities to customers.”
Specifically, Zetta specializes in multi-vendor clinical engineering services, parts, and pre-owned equipment for medical imaging modalities, including CT, MRI and PET/CT. The company is a national service provider for GE, Siemens, Toshiba and Phillips equipment, operating through a network of OEM trained engineers to provide on-demand technical support, maintenance. and remote monitoring services.
“Over the past 12 years, we’ve built a strong reputation as a highly skilled and reliable partner,” says Mike Ghazal, founder and president of Zetta. “Agiliti shares our commitment to service, customer responsiveness and uncompromising quality, and provides a platform that will enable us to serve more customers as part of a broader, value-based solution portfolio.”
Leonard adds: “Our Equipment Value Management solution provides a flexible roadmap to lower the cost and complexity of acquiring, owning and managing medical equipment. Within that framework, our clinical engineering services address the need among healthcare providers to more efficiently manage and maintain a growing and more complex range of equipment and technology. The addition of Zetta—and our previous acquisition of Radiographic Equipment Services in 2016—reflect our commitment to invest in capabilities that help advance the clinical, financial and operational health of our customers.”
Now Agiliti is playing with the big boys (Imaging Industry) and is about to learn that unless they manufacture and sell their own imaging equipment and/or write their own service software they will not be acquiring the bigger accounts and will lose serious money.
