Charitable Organization Sends Feedback About Thermofocus 5-in-1 Non Contact Thermometer


WESTON, Fla.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--
Kidz-Med, Inc. (http://www.kidzmed.com), a division of American Scientific Resources (Pink Sheets: ASFX - News) and a leading provider of innovative health and safety devices, shares the positive feedback received from caregivers and parents.

Kidz-Med donated a dozen thermometers to Millennium Promise — a nonprofit organization dedicated to achieving the Millennium Development Goals in Africa by 2015 — to be used toward providing their Millennium Villages of sub-Saharan Africa with an accurate way to diagnose health issues. Eric Akosah, a village health coordinator, writes:

“Thanks to the donors of the thermometers. This is a unique thermometer since the device does not have to touch the body before registering the reading. This makes it child friendly. Unlike other thermometers, children do not struggle with service providers. It is sharp and accurate. Other thermometers need to be replaced regularly because they fall and break frequently BUT this does not. It helps reduce patients' waiting time. The battery is readily available locally. We have not used them for long BUT so far we have not received any complaints from users. Users have very high recommendation about the thermometer. The only issue is about its reading in degree Fahrenheit instead of degree Celsius. Users have to do the conversion. Those of us using degree Celsius will prefer thermometers having degree Celsius reading.”

(Kidz-Med was able to provide Mr. Akosah with the proper instructions on how to easily change the setting from Fahrenheit to Celsius.)

Dr. Christopher F. Tirotta, CEO of American Scientific Resources and founder of Kidz-Med Inc., said, “We are overjoyed to see how the Thermofocus 5-in-1 is making a significant difference in the lives of children and adults worldwide.”

Every day, 26,000 children die from poverty related illnesses. Kidz-Med recently established a “Buy to Give” initiative to benefit Millennium Promise, a 501(c)(3) charitable organization. The Company urges consumers nationwide to help in the fight to save lives of those who don’t have a chance by shopping on www.kidzmed.com (http://www.kidzmed.com/ccp0-display/Millennium.html), where a portion of each purchase goes directly to the aid of a child.
