Mr Atsushi Kodama, president and CEO of Konica Minolta Medical & Graphic, said the company was anticipating an exciting future ahead. "We are very excited about selling this truly portable and flexible point-of-care imaging tool and incorporating it into our product portfolio," said Mr Kodama. "Signostics has developed a revolutionary product which we believe will have a significant impact across our global markets."

South Australian Minister for Manufacturing, Innovation and Trade Mr Tom Kenyon also congratulated Signostics on its achievement and praised the company for its commitment to innovation. "This is a big win for South Australia with the main component of this new ultrasound device to be manufactured right here in Adelaide," said Mr Kenyon. "Developing niche, high-value products such as this is one is a key objective of South Australia's Manufacturing Works strategy. It's a great example of what can be achieved when industry, researchers and government work together."
