Sanomedics (OTCQB: SIMH) Announces Initial Orders of Thermomedics' Caregiver® TouchFree™ Clinical Thermometers to Help Fight Ebola Outbreak in West Africa
Thermomedics has sent the first 20 units to the Firestone Natural Rubber Company, whose personnel are involved in this urgent healthcare battle.
MIAMI, Sept. 18, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Sanomedics International Holdings, Inc. (OTCQB: SIMH) ; a medical technology holding company that focuses on providing game changing products, services and ideas, announced today that their Thermomedics Inc. division has sent the first 20 Caregiver® Touchfree™ Clinical Thermometers to the Firestone Natural Rubber Company, whose healthcare personnel are involved in combating the spread of the deadly Ebola virus in Western Africa.
Keith Houlihan, President of Sanomedics, noted "Caregiver® Touchfree™ Thermometers are well suited to handle the temperature diagnostics needed to identify this type of highly infectious virus without putting the healthcare worker at risk, since the virus' method of transfer is via contact with body fluids and contaminated substances from the victims."
Mr. Houlihan went on to say that "Because our thermometers do not touch the patient, in all cases, there is much less contamination attributable to the temperature-taking process as there is with traditional oral thermometers. In this dire case, that could mean the difference between life and death."
Thermomedics' VP of Marketing and Sales, Ron Benincasa, indicated that the first 20 devices have been shipped by the Company's Kentec Medical (Ameritus®) distribution group, and that Firestone has forecasted immediate additional requirements if the outbreak continues to rage.
Caregiver® instruments are being widely used by Acute Care and Alternate Site healthcare providers in the U.S., and are rapidly becoming the device of choice due to its ease-of-use, lower operating costs, and accuracy/safety profile.
