What Procamed does

Procamed AG is a Swiss medical technology distributor founded in 1993 and headquartered in Aadorf, with a secondary office in Hagenbuch. Operating under the trade style "Cardiac Medical Systems," Procamed claims Swiss market leadership in life-saving medical devices for over 30 years and serves as the exclusive authorized distributor for ZOLL Medical in Switzerland and Liechtenstein (since 1993) and for Mindray (since approximately 2017). The company distributes life-saving equipment — AED defibrillators, professional defibrillator/monitors, patient monitoring systems, infusion systems, automated CPR devices, ventilators, CPR training manikins, and emergency medical supplies — to first responders, emergency medical services (Rega, Air-Glaciers, Swiss Army, Zurich Cantonal Police), hospitals and clinics (HUG, LUKS, KSSG, CHUV, Hirslanden, Solothurner Spitäler), and large Swiss enterprises (Google Switzerland, Roche, Swisscom, Swatch Group, Migros, Coop, Zurich Airport, McDonald's Switzerland).

Procamed's product portfolio is sourced from third-party manufacturers rather than developed in-house. Core distributed technologies include ZOLL's Real CPR Help real-time compression feedback, the AutoPulse automated chest compression system (cited as achieving an 85% reduction in compression interruptions), the Zenix, X Series, R Series, and Propaq professional defibrillator/monitor platforms, Mindray's BeneVision patient monitoring family with modular bedside, transport, and wearable (mWear) monitors, the BeneFusion infusion system platform with SafeDose medication management, and the Brayden line of CPR training manikins featuring LED visualization of blood flow during CPR (the Brayden Baby won the Red Dot Design Award "Best of the Best" in 2020). Supporting software includes ZOLL RescueNet Suite, PlusTrac, AEDtrax, and Mindray BeneVision Central Monitoring. Procamed is ISO 13485 certified and operates under Swiss MedTech regulations and EU MDR compliance.

Procamed's revenue model combines hardware sales of capital equipment and consumables, recurring service and maintenance contracts with loaner devices during repairs, equipment rental (daily/monthly AED rentals under "Mieten statt kaufen"), and BLS-AED training courses delivered through partner platform aed.ch. The company employs a multi-channel go-to-market: enterprise field sales teams covering German-speaking and French-speaking Switzerland, a direct-to-consumer e-commerce store launched in 2025 (shop.procamed.ch), a physical showroom in Aadorf plus a virtual showroom, and participation in trade shows such as IFAS, SICHERHEIT, and ArbeitsSicherheitSchweiz. Pricing is largely quote-based with 30-day net payment terms and free shipping for orders exceeding CHF 500. The company is privately held by the Prohaska family, with leadership transitioning from Liz Prohaska to Sascha Prohaska as CEO in 2025.
