Easy-to-Use Kidz-Med product finds new vendor WESTON, Fla., Aug. 17
/PRNewswire/ -- Kidz-Med, Inc., a subsidiary of American Scientific
Resources Inc., (Pink Sheets: ASFX) today announced it has received
an initial Purchase Order of the Kidz-Med Thermofocus 5-in-1
Non-contact Thermometers from another distinguished baby specialty
retailer, just in time for the start of the 2009-2010 cold and flu
season. Long recommended by doctors throughout the UK, Europe and
Asia, the Thermofocus 5-in-1--which was used by medical personnel
in Asia during the SARS epidemic (See BBC article:
http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/business/2986469.stm)--is an ideal
instrument to use to diagnose fevers associated with the flu since
it has absolutely no contact with the skin, making for a completely
hygienic and non-invasive experience. In just one second, it takes
a temperature without ever touching a child's skin or body. It uses
completely safe infrared technology clinically proven to be as
accurate as standard rectal or ear thermometers while providing
five readings of core body, baby's bottle, bath water, food and
nursery room all with one easy to use device. At the retailer's
request, the Company is not yet disclosing the name of the new
customer, which will be conducting test sales in various stores,
mostly in the Northeastern United States as well as one store in
the Midwest. This specialty baby products retailer sells
merchandise through baby specialty stores nationwide and through
its website, which garners more than 500,000 monthly visitors
including 300,000 unique visitors per month. The terms of the order
will allow reorders in a manner that will permit Kidz-Med to
position itself to meet future purchase order requests from the
baby specialty stores as additional financing is made available.
The Company believes its branding efforts have been well recognized
as parents and caregivers search online and offline for the
Kidz-Med Thermofocus 5-in-1, often referring to it in their
feedback as "a lifesaver". "Being able to add this baby specialty
chain to our list of esteemed vendors is extremely exciting for us.
By distributing our unique product through yet another industry
leader, we intend to build upon our previous success of increased
first quarter sales," stated Dr. Christopher F. Tirotta, CEO of
American Scientific Resources. In May, American Scientific
Resources reported a marked increase in interest on non-contact
thermometers in response to the growing threat of an H1N1 pandemic.
