Here we go again! The MEDRAD® CT Injection System has won its third design award. The Red Dot Design Award, the Good Design Award and the International Design Award (IDA).

The MEDRAD® Centargo is a next-generation medical device used to administer contrast agents for imaging procedures. It minimizes the injector touch time by automating manual processes, helping to focus on what matters most in every CT scan – the patient. Thanks to its consistent language of form, the focus is on the interfaces.

Bayer’s Global Project Manager for Centargo, Matthias, said

“Excellent news, indeed. I love it. Really nice to see that not only our customers are acknowledging our design that is focused clearly on customer needs, but also design award juries – and not just one, but three.“

Our Executive Director, Richard Sokolov, shared his insights on the project and its outcomes: “It is award-winning for sure, but the real award is the impressive demand for the product, which is truly inspiring. It is hard not to get emotional about this project knowing all the effort and passion we as a united team put into it and the challenges and worries we overcame. The overwhelmingly positive feedback from the market is essential in assuring us we are achieving our mission of creating a better future.

Better for clinics and hospitals, in doing more for less. Better for the radiologists in allowing them to focus on the patients. Better for our partners and friends at Bayer, supporting more sales, more jobs, and higher returns for their shareholders. Not to mention what it meant for IDE. You really can’t ask for more than all that.”
