Surgical methods and patient expectations are rapidly changing, and most care facilities understand that to remain competitive and relevant to their patient base, they must change with them, stated Donald E. Tucker, President and Chief Executive Officer of Viking Systems, Inc. Our agreement with CompView is integral to the
further development of our highly differentiated vision technologies and our mission to deliver high performance solutions to the surgical team.

Paul White, President and Founder of CompView Medical, added, Our partnership with Viking Systems typifies the kinds of surgical and OR solutions we intend to make available through the unique platform the NuBOOM provides. As the complexity of minimally invasive surgery continues to increase, and the cost-value relationship

of surgical operating suites continues to be of focus, the entry point into this solution-based offering lies in building a strong product line with collaborations such as this with Viking Systems.
