Diagnostic Ultrasound Corp. changes name to Verathon

Diagnostic Ultrasound Corp. has updated its company name to Verathon, Inc. (Bothell, WA).

In January 2006, Diagnostic Ultrasound acquired a non-ultrasound business, Saturn Biomedical Systems (Vancouver, British Columbia) and its GlideScope video laryngoscope brand. The company said this move, combined with the success of its BladderScan bladder volume instrument business, prompted the new name.
