IntraOp Medical Announces Two Key Promotions to Management Team
Company Strengthens Infrastructure to Support Growing Demand for Its Revolutionary Mobetron(R) DeviceSUNNYVALE, Calif.--(HSMN NewsFeed)--Sept. 7, 2006--IntraOp Medical Corporation (OTCBB: IOPM ) has promoted Rick Belford to Vice President of Quality Assurance and Regulatory Affairs, and Tom Cook to Director of Customer Support. These two newly created positions strengthen IntraOp's corporate infrastructure, while adding support for the growing demand of the Company's Mobetron system, an FDA-cleared device used to deliver intraoperative electron radiation therapy (IOERT) during cancer surgery.
In addition, Tom Cook, who has over 30 years of radiation therapy device service and management experience, has been named Director of Customer Support. Mr. Cook has served as IntraOp's Service Manager since 1995. As Director, he will oversee the installation of new Mobetron systems, the training of technicians who operate the Mobetron in hospitals, and the growing IntraOp service business provided by IntraOp's own personnel and its distributor's worldwide.
"The promotions of Mr. Belford and Mr. Cook strengthen two very critical components of our business: maintaining worldwide regulatory compliance of the Mobetron and providing superior customer service and support," said Dr. Donald A. Goer, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of IntraOp Medical. "These promotions will add depth and flexibility to our management team while enabling us to effectively support the growing demand for the Mobetron worldwide."
In related company news, IntraOp announced that Mr. Paul J. Crowe, who is also the founder, Chairman and CEO of Nuview Radiopharmaceuticals Corporation, has resigned from the Company's board of directors due to his other business commitments.
"Paul has been a great asset to IntraOp," commented Dr. Goer. "He helped give the company guidance and direction during his tenure, and his presence will be missed."
About IntraOp Medical Corporation
IntraOp Medical Corporation improves the quality of life for cancer patients through the development, manufacturing and sales of its proprietary Mobetron system. The Mobetron is a mobile electron-beam accelerator designed exclusively for intraoperative electron radiation therapy (IOERT), the direct application of radiation to a tumor while a patient is undergoing cancer surgery. The system makes IOERT widely available, cost effective, and simple to deliver because it is easily transportable between operating rooms and does not require a cost-prohibitive, radiation shielded surgical suite. The system is FDA-certified for sale in the United States and has received the equivalent foreign approvals: CE Mark in Europe, JIS in Japan and SDA in China. IntraOp Medical Corporation is based in Sunnyvale, California.
