MADISON HEIGHTS, Mich., April 15, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- InfuSystem Holdings, Inc. (NYSE MKT: INFU), a leading national provider of infusion pumps and related services for the healthcare industry in the United States and Canada, announced today that its subsidiary, InfuSystem Inc., has reached an agreement for the acquisition of the infusion pump assets of InfusAID, LLC. InfusAID, based in the Philadelphia area, is a privately-held regional provider of ambulatory infusion pumps and services to medical facilities.

Mr. Steen continued, "To the customer facilities formerly served by InfusAID, we will offer our expanded portfolio that includes our patent-pending, time-saving electronic connectivity solutions, pole-mounted infusion pumps, infusion-related disposables such as catheter care kits and IV tubing, and chemo safety products that meet the proposed USP Chapter 800 requirements.
