Teleca has been awarded as supplier to a winning product of the 2005 “Medical Design Excellence Awards®”. MDEA is a premier awards program for the medical technology community, recognizing the engineers, scientists, and designers, who are responsible for the groundbreaking innovations that are changing the face of healthcare.

Teleca was involved from the idea phase to market launch. “The collaboration with our partner Teleca for the technical design has been crucial for the successful development of NIOX MINO,” says Mats Carlson, VP Development at Aerocrine. ”We are very proud of receiving the Medical Design Excellence Awards. NIOX MINO is an exceptional product that can help millions of people around the world that suffer from asthma,” says Jonas Mann, Director Life Science at Teleca.
