WESTON, Fla., July 29 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- American
Scientific Resources, Inc. (the "Company" or "ASR")
(Pink Sheets: ASFX) announces today that the Company has executed
an exclusive distribution agreement with the nation's leading
school heath supplies and equipment distributor, School Health
Corporation. School Health will be the exclusive distributor
of ASR's VeraTemp+ non contact thermometer in the school healthcare
market in the US.
The exclusive territory includes selling through the
distributor's sales network of over 60,000 schools (K-12), colleges
and universities, early childhood, community health and
professional sports teams. Ninety-five percent of the top 500
districts and largest universities in the country order from School
Health annually.
The VeraTemp+™ Non-Contact Thermometer is the professional use
version of ASR's award winning thermometry technology. Designed for
more durable use with a protective medical grade silicon cover and
wrist strap lanyard, the VeraTemp+ is ideally suited for use in
clinics, hospitals, emergency medical services, long-term care
facilities, schools and other public settings. Because
VeraTemp+ can read patients' temperatures without physical contact,
the thermometer is totally hygienic and there is no need for
expensive and wasteful probe covers. Convenient and easy to use,
VeraTemp's hygienic, touch-free design is an economical and
eco-friendly solution.
Tom Wisniewski, marketing and
product manager for School Health, is excited about bringing on the
VeraTemp+ thermometer, "We are confident that U.S. schools will
embrace the numerous ways that a durable, trauma-free, accurate
thermometer like the VeraTemp+ can make a nurse's job so much
easier. Considering the magnitude of its quality, the VeraTemp+ is
also the most affordable option for schools, and its hygienic
nature means no waste or cost of probe covers."
Dr. Christopher Tirotta, CEO of
American Scientific, commented, "Establishing an agreement with a
trusted distributor like School Health will enable us to educate
our nation's schools not only on the benefits of non-contact
thermometry, but on how our technology is the most modern,
convenient and accurate option for children and adults. We
look forward to a lasting partnership with School Health."
