Jay Colfer, CEO of Fivos, said, “Today’s announcement marks an important step forward for Fivos and will allow us to our focus on our core lines of business – vascular and cardiovascular workflow solutions for providers and quality data insights for registries and industry that advance patient care and device innovation.”
