Rockwell Medical, Inc. (Nasdaq: RMTI), a healthcare company that develops, manufactures, commercializes, and distributes a portfolio of hemodialysis products to dialysis providers worldwide, and Innovative Renal Care (IRC), one of the largest dialysis service providers in the United States, today announced they signed a multi-year service agreement to support IRC's goals to invest in high-quality hemodialysis products, streamline workflows, and help avoid potential supply chain disruptions.

Under the terms of the agreement, Rockwell Medical will supply IRC with liquid and dry, acid and bicarbonate hemodialysis concentrates, as well as the DAMX45 dry acid concentrate mix system, which is 510(k) approved to be used exclusively with Rockwell Medical's CitraPure^® and Dri-Sate^® dry acid concentrate powders. This will enable IRC's dialysis centers across the United States to reduce storage requirements while ensuring product quality and continuity. This multi-million dollar purchase agreement with utilization commitments will remain in effect for three years with the option to extend an additional one-year period.

"We are excited to partner with Rockwell Medical to reliably supply our clinics with hemodialysis concentrates," said David Doerr, Chief Executive Officer at IRC. "More efficient processes and supply chain continuity enables us to stay focused on achieving our company’s mission to deliver more tomorrows to our patients, their families, and friends.”
