Expanding in South America: Omron Exhibits at Inaugural Medical Device & Manufacturing Brazil Show

SCHAUMBURG, IL--(Marketwire - Jun 22, 2012) - Omron Electronic Components LLC, a long-time exhibitor at the Medical Device & Manufacturing (MD&M) West show in Anaheim, CA, will be showing for the first time at the inaugural MD&M Brazil this month, June 26-27^th at the TransAmerica Expo Center in São Paulo. Medical Devices are a major focus industry for Omron and Brazil presents a key target market in that space. In addition to their traditional relay, switch and connector product lines, Omron will have on display their Sensor line-up and Non-invasive Blood Pressure (NiBP) Module. Many of these products were engineered specifically for the medical device market. The 2SMPP gauge pressure sensor family was initially developed for Omron Healthcare's world-renowned blood pressure monitors.

Ms. Donna Sandfox, Omron's Sensor Product Manager and Assistant Medical Team Manager, explained, "The medical device market in Brazil has been a focus area for us at Omron Electronic Components for several years. Building on our positive results from exhibiting at MDM West in Anaheim, we are very much looking forward to expanding our trade show presence at MDM Brazil. We have a number of new products being released this year and are excited to use this opportunity to preview them to the South American medical device manufacturers attending this year's show."

Live demonstrations of the new Pressure and Flow Sensors, as well as an NiBP development kit, will be present and running at the event. If you find yourself feeling stressed, or even just curious, on the show floor, stop by Booth 814 to have your blood pressure measured on the spot!
