Business Wire
American Scientific Resources, Inc. (“American Scientific
Resources” – (OTCBB: ASFX) today announced that it received a
private label purchase order for a Shoppers Drug Mart VeraTemp®
Non-Contact Thermometer. The private label version has the same
quality and accuracy of the VeraTemp® with the addition of the
“Life” Brand logo and packaging insert card designed to uniquely
identify the VeraTemp under the Shoppers Drug Mart brand.
The initial order for 5,000 units will supply VeraTemp® to
Shoppers Drug Mart’s chain of almost 1,200 Shoppers Drug
Mart/Pharmaprix stores across Canada.
“Shoppers Drug Mart is the industry leader with progressive
products and planograms. Shoppers Drug Mart will clearly catch the
attention of other major retailers with this being the single most
significant customer for American Scientific Resources to date.
This order demonstrates the VeraTemp’s position as the up and
coming world leader in Thermometry as the fully approved
non-contact thermometer,” states Dr. Christopher Tirotta, Chief
Executive Officer of American Scientific Resources, Inc.
Jason Roth, Sr. Vice President of American Scientific Resources,
also commented, “The expansion of the VeraTemp® thermometer in the
Canadian market is a huge step forward for us and places our
products directly onto the shelves of arguably an industry leading
retailer. Our focus to become category leader has now significantly
progressed. It is well recognized throughout retail that Shoppers
Drug Mart is the industry leader and is consistently followed by
other, ever watchful retail organizations. We anticipate this new
private label will significantly increase our distribution into
additional retail accounts, fitting into our overall plan of
distribution and sales, a plan built upon my previous experiences
and with the continued assistance of Associated National Brokerage
and it’s principal Steven Stubbs.”
The VeraTemp® Non-Contact Thermometer uses the most advanced
technology in thermometry to record an individual’s temperature
without touching the patient’s skin. With the VeraTemp®, there is
no need to wake, startle or upset the patient when taking their
temperature.
Unlike aged technologies like, oral, ear or rectal thermometers,
which require being placed into a body orifice to gain a
temperature reading – or the full contact types that require being
run across an individual’s forehead -- the VeraTemp® is a
completely non-contact, non/invasive thermometer, that finally puts
an end to the unnecessary expense, handling and disposal of single
use probe covers. The VeraTemp® unit is about the size of a remote
control and is powered by two included AAA batteries. To measure a
person’s body temperature, simply aim at the individual’s forehead
and press the Scan button. In an instant, the VeraTemp® measures
the forehead and ambient temperature, completes thousands of
calculations with a proprietary algorithm, and produces an accurate
body temperature reading. The non-contact nature of the VeraTemp®
enables the users to also take accurate temperature of objects like
babies’ bottle, bath water, food or nursery. The VeraTemp® displays
its readings on a large back-lit LCD screen, reads temperature in
both Celsius and Fahrenheit, has an Auto-off feature to conserve
battery life and has a built in memory that records the last 32
readings taken.
