Nipro Diagnostics has entered into a partnership with NeuroMetrix to evaluate opportunities for NC-stat DPNCheck in retail medical clinics.

NC-stat DPNCheck is a test for the evaluation of systemic neuropathies such as diabetic peripheral neuropathy (DPN).

The companies believe that their complementary strengths will lead to a collaboration for the evaluation of the retail medical clinic market, and lead to a relationship.

The market evaluation phase may include market studies, focus groups, pilot programs, data-gathering and analysis, and related activities.

Nipro Diagnostics supplies blood glucose meters and related products to chain drug stores and other retail outlets.

NeuroMetrix is a provider of medical devices for nerve conduction studies at the point of care and is developing NC-stat DPNCheck.
