Alere has a long-standing heritage in Women's Health - we developed the first rapid
pregnancy test, ClearBlue, and the first rapid ovulation predictor, ClearPlan. We
continue to be recognised as innovators in our field and have recently introduced
the Alere Triage PIGF test, for the measurement of Placental Growth Factor in maternal
circulation, as an aid in the diagnosis of pre-eclampsia. At Alere, we believe in
connecting you to the smartest diagnostic tools available for pre-eclampsia, preterm
labour, and premature rupture of membranes, to help you place the right women onto
the right clinical pathway.

Medaphor Scantrainer is a virtual-reality, 'real-feel' ultrasound training simulator
which provides curriculum-based training and professional development, independent
of a clinical setting. Structure simulator training dramatically increases trainees
scanning skills prior to patient contact, removing the need to practice on live
patients, and mimimising tutor teaching time in the early learning phase.
