ICARE AND IRIDEX CORPORATION ENTER INTO DISTRIBUTION COOPERATION

Revenio Group Corporation's subsidiary Icare Finland Plc has signed a distribution agreement with US-based Iridex Corporation related to Icare's TA01i instrument. Iridex plans to package the Icare TA01i with the Iridex Total Glaucoma Solution which includes the newly launched Cyclo G6 laser and the proprietary MicroPulse® P3 device dedicated specifically to treat patients diagnosed with a range of glaucoma disease states. The Icare TA01i aids the physician in the diagnosis of glaucoma as well as post-operative assessment and monitoring of the patient's intra-ocular pressure.

Iridex sold its first new Cyclo G6 glaucoma laser along with MicroPulse® P3 disposable devices during the first quarter of 2015. The MicroPulse® P3 device offers a repeatable, minimally invasive approach to slowing the progress of the disease and pushing off the need for more invasive surgical intervention. The Icare TA01i tonometer revolutionizes effective, early glaucoma detection by making the intra-ocular pressure measuring routine quick and easy for the patient as well as the physician.

"Cooperation with Iridex broadens the market reach of both organizations where the Icare and Iridex equipment and disposables may be offered to glaucoma physicians as part of a complete system. Iridex, as well as Icare are well-known brands within the ophthalmic community and we expect positive cooperation during the years to come," states Revenio's CEO Olli-Pekka Salovaara.
