Premier will promote Siemens ultrasound

The Premier group purchasing organization will launch a limited-time promotion of Siemens ultrasound scanners beginning this month and running through September. The program will include special financing programs and extended discounts on Sonoline scanners manufactured by the Issaquah, WA, vendor. Siemens said the promotion was the first of its kind since several GPOs merged in 1995 to form the new Premier. Siemens and Premier signed a three-year ultrasound purchasing and service deal earlier this year.
