What arcomed does

Arcomed AG is a Swiss medical technology company founded in 1974 and headquartered in Kloten (Zurich), manufacturing infusion pumps, docking and connectivity infrastructure, and proprietary consumables for hospital use. Self-described as the "largest independent provider of infusion technology," the company sells the Chroma Series, a combined volumetric and syringe pump with a colour touchscreen, built around the All-in-One concept: a single device that automatically re-profiles its drug library, alarm thresholds, occlusion limits, and default settings to serve ICU, anaesthesia, neonatal, general ward, oncology, labour ward, hyperbaric, MRI, PCA, and enteral feeding applications. Differentiated features include ISO 26825 drug colour coding, the UniQueCONCEPT docking module with bidirectional ERP/EPR integration, distributed alarm systems (co-developed with Ascom), WiFi-based pump location tracking (including off-mode), DERS for up to 1,600 drugs, TCI algorithms (Eleveld models for Remifentanil and Propofol), hyperbaric certification to 10 ATAS, MRI compatibility for 1.5T/3T scanners, and ArcomedPP polypropylene giving sets with low sorption. Arcomed holds ISO 13485 certification (audited by TÜV Süd) and the Swiss-Made label, and maintains eleven distinct specialty pump product lines plus a consumables catalogue (I.V. sets in PP, PVC, and silicone; syringes; extension lines).

Arcomed operates a channel-driven go-to-market: a global network of qualified distributors on every continent, supported by direct regional offices in Switzerland (HQ), the United Kingdom, Australia/New Zealand, the Netherlands/Belgium, and Germany. Pricing is not publicly disclosed; customers are routed to local distributors via the headquarters and regional offices. The revenue model combines capital equipment sales (Chroma pumps, UniQueDOC docking stations, UniQueMRIShield, floor stands) with recurring consumables (I.V. sets, syringes, extension lines, ArcomedPP sets), the latter now distributed through the CODAN Companies channel following the 2026 acquisition. End customers are enterprise healthcare providers, primarily hospital departments, and the company segments its offering vertically by clinical use case rather than by buyer persona.

In 2026, arcomed was acquired by CODAN, a European family-owned medical technology company focused on infusion therapy, integrating arcomed into a larger group with broader distribution while preserving arcomed's product and brand identity. The company continues to operate its existing product, distributor, and service infrastructure under the arcomed brand, with consumables now sourced through CODAN Companies.
