NEW YORK, Jan. 23, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Daxor Corporation (NYSE MKT: DXR), an innovative medical instrumentation and biotechnology company focused on blood volume measurement today announces the appointment of Guido Manzo as Vice President of Sales.
"Guido joins Daxor with 35 years of experience in medical sales and marketing focused on central lab and point-of-care testing. His proven track record makes him an excellent addition to the Daxor team to lead our sales organization and drive execution of our commercialization strategy for the BVA-100®,” said Michael Feldschuh, CEO of Daxor Corporation.
Before joining Daxor, Guido has held several senior leadership roles and has managed direct sales organizations, distributors, and sales managers worldwide with major international IVD medical device companies including Ortho Clinical Diagnostics, International Technidyne Corporation and Abbott Point of Care.

“Given the outstanding clinical utility of the BVA-100 platform in conjunction with recent peer-reviewed studies showing that the BVA-100 reduces heart failure readmissions by 56% and mortality by over 82%, the timing is perfect for clinicians to embrace this technology. The BVA-100 offers the opportunity to improve patient care and maximize key performance metrics and economics for hospital systems for heart failure, ICU care, and other medical and surgical conditions. I look forward to supporting the entire Daxor team in developing and growing the business, “said Guido Manzo.
