• Familiarize yourself the ways AI and RPA support capabilities for digital transformation and implementation approaches
• Gain a better understanding of what to look for within your QMS to ensure it is capturing continuous improvement initiatives such as processes and systems

“We are proud to name Dr. Mark Pe’s as a UroLift Center of Excellence and provider of care for men with enlarged prostate symptoms using the UroLift System treatment,” said Dave Amerson

PLEASANTON, Calif. (PRWEB)
April 30, 2020

NeoTract, a wholly owned subsidiary of Teleflex Incorporated (NYSE:TFX) focused on addressing unmet needs in the field of urology, today announced that Mark Pe, M.D., Genesis Urology in San Diego, CA, has been designated as a UroLift® Center of Excellence. The designation recognizes that Dr. Pe has achieved a high level of training and experience with the UroLift® System and demonstrated a commitment to exemplary care for men suffering from symptoms associated with Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH), also known as enlarged prostate.

Recommended for the treatment of BPH in both the American Urological Association and European Association of Urology clinical guidelines, the FDA-cleared Prostatic Urethral Lift procedure using the UroLift System is a proven, minimally invasive technology for treating lower urinary tract symptoms due to BPH. The UroLift permanent implants, delivered during a transurethral outpatient procedure, relieve prostate obstruction and open the urethra directly without cutting, heating, or removing prostate tissue.

The UroLift Center of Excellence program is designed to highlight urologists who are committed to educating their patients on BPH and the UroLift System as a treatment option and consistently seek to deliver excellent patient outcomes and experiences.

“We are proud to name Dr. Mark Pe’s as a UroLift Center of Excellence and provider of care for men with enlarged prostate symptoms using the UroLift System treatment,” said Dave Amerson, president of the Teleflex Interventional Urology business unit. “The UroLift System is a safe and effective treatment that allows physicians to treat men in-office under local anesthesia, so they can experience lasting symptom relief within days after receiving treatment.”

Over 40 million men in the United States are affected by BPH, a condition that occurs when the prostate gland that surrounds the male urethra becomes enlarged with advancing age and begins to obstruct the urinary system. Symptoms of BPH often include interrupted sleep and urinary problems and can cause loss of productivity, depression and decreased quality of life.

Medication is often the first-line therapy for enlarged prostate, but relief can be inadequate and temporary. Side effects of medication treatment can include sexual dysfunction, dizziness and headaches, prompting many patients to quit using the drugs. For these patients, the classic alternative is surgery that cuts, heats or removes prostate tissue to open the blocked urethra. While current surgical options can be very effective in relieving symptoms, they can also leave patients with permanent side effects such as urinary incontinence, erectile dysfunction, and retrograde ejaculation.

About the UroLift® System

The FDA-cleared UroLift System is a proven, minimally invasive technology for treating lower urinary tract symptoms due to benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). The UroLift permanent implants, delivered during a minimally invasive transurethral outpatient procedure, relieve prostate obstruction and open the urethra directly without cutting, heating, or removing prostate tissue. Clinical data from a pivotal 206-patient randomized controlled study showed that patients with enlarged prostate receiving UroLift implants reported rapid and durable symptomatic and urinary flow rate improvement without compromising sexual function*1,2. Patients also experienced a significant improvement in quality of life. Over 100,000 men have been treated with the UroLift System in the U.S. Most common adverse events reported include hematuria, dysuria, micturition urgency, pelvic pain, and urge incontinence. Most symptoms were mild to moderate in severity and resolved within two to four weeks after the procedure. The Prostatic Urethral Lift procedure using the UroLift System is recommended for the treatment of BPH in both the American Urological Association and European Association of Urology clinical guidelines. The UroLift System is available in the U.S., Europe, Australia, Canada, Mexico and South Korea. Learn more at http://www.UroLift.com.

“Many Datex clients are 3PL cold storage warehouse operators and quite a few handle food exports, including proteins” explained Michael Armanious, Vice President of Sales and Marketing. “This integration shaves minutes off the process and eliminates errors and needless frustration.”

CLEARWATER, Fla. (PRWEB)
April 29, 2020

Warehouse management system software developer Datex introduced a way for its clients involved with food exports to save time and labor using a new integration with the USDA PHIS Export Platform.

In mid-2017, the USDA launched the Public Health Information System (PHIS) Export Platform for food product import/export certifications, replacing the previous paper-based process. The roll-out of the new system worldwide began in 2017, continues through 2020 and handles the 9080-3 and 9060-6 applications, replacements and activity management for exporters. The USDA PHIS platform helps food exporters by consolidating export paperwork and certifications, streamlining communications and business operations.

To improve the efficiency of the process for food exporters, Datex has developed an integration with the USDA so that the manual process of creating health certificates is now automated, saving exporters valuable time and labor. The new integration also helps to ensure more accurate creation of health certificates due to the elimination of paper-based processes, handwriting errors and other inaccuracies.

“Many Datex clients are 3PL cold storage warehouse operators and quite a few handle food exports, including proteins” explained Michael Armanious, Vice President of Sales and Marketing. “This integration shaves minutes off the process and eliminates errors and needless frustration.”
