Thursday, June 11 2009 3:45 PM, EST Safety Product Company Sees Increased Online Sales Resulting from H1N1 Flu PR Newswire    "US Press Releases "
Kidz-Med Thermofocus 5-in-1 Non-Contact Thermometer in Demand



WESTON, Fla., June 11 /PRNewswire/ -- Given the World Health Organization (WHO) has just raised the novel influenza A/swine flu pandemic alert to phase 6, its highest pandemic warning level, The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) reports that even though U.S. influenza surveillance systems show a decrease in flu activity, outbreaks are ongoing in various parts of the nation, in some cases intensely.



Kidz-Med Inc. , a subsidiary of American Scientific Resources, Inc. (Pink Sheets: ASFX) and leading child health and safety product supplier in the US, sees the effects that the flu is having on the nation by experiencing a drastic increase in online sales, namely on the Kidz-Med Thermofocus 5-in-1 Non-Contact Thermometer, from April 1, 2009 through May 15, 2009 .



Kidz-Med has fielded an increase in inquiries about its Kidz-Med Thermofocus 5-in-1 from various entities who are preparing to check adults and children for fevers that could possibly result from this current flu outbreak.



The Company's CEO, and pediatric clinician, Dr. Christopher F. Tirotta reacts by saying, "In our history, we have never received $30,000 in online revenue within a month and a half. We attribute our PR, social media and SEO/SEM tactics to enabling people to find us as a go-to resource, and are ecstatic that our products can help during a time when our nation needs it most."



He continues, "Since the pandemic level has been raised, we are expecting to see an increase in customer inquiries and potentially sales."



The Kidz-Med Thermofocus, 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; a reading is taken in a second and the thermometer is clinically proven to be accurate and safe.



Kidz-Med is reaching out to let the public know where to go for reliable safety and prevention information and how the Kidz-Med Thermofocus, as well as the Kidz-Med medicine dispenser pacifier, can benefit them during this time.



Dr. Tirotta concludes, "We recommend visiting the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention at www.cdc.gov for trusted flu information. Additionally, should anyone have questions pertaining to flu safety prevention, we can be reached via our website at www.kidzmed.com."
