Danish maker of blood-gas analysers, samplers and acute-care testing software, founded in Copenhagen in 1935 and owned by the US group Danaher since 2004. In Portugal it sells and services its instruments through Radiometer Ibérica S.L. (NIF 980201667) from Carnaxide, and EU procurement records show it winning blood-gas reagent and equipment-placement contracts from at least six Portuguese public hospital groups since 2025.
Radiometer is one of the oldest Danish industrial names in Portuguese hospitals. Its core products — the ABL series of blood-gas analysers, arterial blood samplers, point-of-care immunoassay systems and the AQURE software that connects analysers across a hospital — are sold in Portugal by Radiometer Ibérica S.L., the Spanish subsidiary, through a registered permanent representation (NIF 980201667) at Avenida do Forte 3, Edifício Suécia III, in Carnaxide, with activity registered as the import, sale, distribution and technical assistance of scientific instruments. The Danish parent, Radiometer Medical ApS (CVR 27509185), is based at Åkandevej 21 in Brønshøj, Copenhagen, and reports 1,303 employees in the Danish register.
The Portuguese business is built on public-hospital tenders, and the EU’s Tenders Electronic Daily records a steady run of awards. Radiometer was the sole winner of ULS Santa Maria’s blood-gas reagents contract in April 2025 (€233,466, TED 226502-2025) and of a second Santa Maria contract for blood-gas reagents with equipment placement in April 2026 (€339,360, TED 272629-2026). In March 2026 the ULS Gaia/Espinho awarded it a contract for blood-gas reagents against the placement of 26 analysers (€560,130, TED 220541-2026). It also appears among the winners of multi-supplier awards by ULS Baixo Alentejo (2025), ULS São José (2025), ULS Arrábida, ULS Alto Ave and Madeira’s SESARAM (2026). The model — reagents sold on multi-year contracts with the analysers placed on site — means each award ties a hospital to Radiometer instruments for the life of the contract.
Radiometer is a clear example of how Danish medical technology reaches Portugal: not through a Portuguese-incorporated company but through an Iberian subsidiary with a registered branch, bidding directly into the tenders of the new Unidades Locais de Saúde created by the 2024 reorganisation of the Portuguese National Health Service. For other Nordic device and diagnostics makers, the Radiometer file shows that the Portuguese public market is reachable from Madrid or Barcelona with a small local footprint, provided the company can service installed equipment across the country.
