Market Pulse News Alert for this AM, Stocks to Watch are: Medizone
International, Inc. (OTCBB: MZEI), NexMed Inc. (NASDAQ: NEXM), Ford
Motor Co. (NYSE: F) and Hana Biosciences Inc. (OTCBB: HNAB).
Investors need to be watching Medizone International, Inc.
(OTCBB: MZEI) this AM! Medizone International is a research and
development company engaged in developing AsepticSure™ System, a
novel ozone-based technology. AsepticSure™ is a portable
decontamination and sterilization system for hospitals, government
buildings, sports training facilities, schools and other critical
infrastructure that might currently require, or need to be prepared
for countermeasures capability from contamination by infectious
biological agents. A government variant is being developed for
bio-terrorism counter measures. Medizone began mockup trials in
January 2010 for both public (hospital) and government
(bio-terrorism countermeasures) applications. In March 2010,
Medizone successful completed the first full round of room scale
testing with its AsepticSure™ sterilization system. Successful
decontamination by AsepticSure™ to the 6 log standard or greater
has been demonstrated with C.difficile, E coli, Pseudomonas
aeruginous, MRSA, VRE and Bacillius subtilis. The AsepticSure™
system is capable of decontamination to the previously unobtainable
6 log standard (99.9999% bactericidal kill) on all hospital
surfaces, hard or soft. Medizone is now able to greatly reduce the
time required to achieve 6 log kills on hard surfaces to 30 minutes
of exposure. From a commercial viewpoint, the higher the "kill
rate" in the shortest turnaround time, the more favorably
physicians and hospital administrators will view the system. Given
the outstanding range of bactericidal kill rates Medizone has
achieved to date with the pathogens most often associated with
hospital derived infections, it has become clear there are
opportunities abounding to expand scientific horizons through
collaborative arrangements in many diverse and exciting new
applications. Biological contamination of medical treatment areas
such as hospitals and chronic care facilities has recently been
identified by several world renowned public health institutions,
including the Centers for Disease Control, as one of the greatest
threats to public health and safety in the industrial world.
Hospital Acquired Infections (HAIs) are one of the most common
complications of hospital care. Nearly 2 million patients develop
HAIs, which contribute to 99,000 deaths each year and $28 billion
to $33 billion in health care costs. Demand for an effective
product is huge. Once the trial program for the AsepticSure™
hospital sterilization system is concluded, MZEI expects to
out-source the manufacturing of the product and partner with large,
well established companies that are already fully embedded in their
sector of business as suppliers, such as medical device
manufacturers or service companies. Medizone believes that a field
hardened variant of the AsepticSure™ hospital unit currently being
readied for scale up testing will have wide bio defense
applications internationally as it will be easily deployable in
response to virtually any terrorist assault, extremely effective
against a broad range of lethal pathogens, easy to manage and
maintain and most importantly, it has the potential to save lives.
Medizone now believes that the performance profile of its
AsepticSure™ Sterilization System will exceed all the prerequisite
requirements of affordability, practicability and unmatched
efficacy, which will catapult it into the world market. Medizone
International, Inc. is poised to become a significant player in the
healthcare industry! Medizone International, Inc. just had
excellent news out in a press release before today's opening bell
announcing that it has successfully sterilized both naturally and
artificially contaminated sports equipment using its highly
versatile AsepticSure™ sterilization system! The company also said
the implications of these results are enormous to them as the
potential market for AsepticSure™ has at least quadrupled in size!
This could be great news for investors!
In response to the growing need for the decontamination of
sports training facilities and locker rooms from the Super Bug
Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus Aureus, also known as MRSA,
Medizone International, Inc. (OTCBB: MZEI) is pleased to announce
that it has successfully sterilized both naturally and artificially
contaminated sports equipment using its highly versatile
AsepticSure™ sterilization system. "The implications of these
results are enormous to Medizone as the potential market for
AsepticSure™ has at least quadrupled in size," stated Mr. Marshall,
Medizone's CEO. As reported in a recent article entitled
"Assessment of Athletic Facility Surfaces for MRSA in the Secondary
School Setting" (Journal of Environmental Health, Feb., 2010) the
authors stated that, "Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus Aureus
(MRSA) was once largely a hospital-acquired infection, but
increasingly, community-associated MRSA (CA-MRSA) is causing
outbreaks among otherwise healthy people in athletic settings.
Secondary school athletic trainers, student athletes, and the
general student population may be at elevated risk of MRSA
infection."
Part of the test program just completed by Medizone involved the
evaluation of a hockey goalie's glove used for three years by a
12-year-old Canadian boy. The inside surface of the glove was found
to be heavily contaminated with MRSA along with a number of other
less deadly pathogens. Medizone's Director of Medical Affairs, Dr
Michael Shannon stated, "Pads and team sweaters were also tested
and very effectively sterilized without damaging the textiles or
leather. It is noteworthy that the protocol used in gloves heavily
contaminated with numerous real world pathogens needed to be
adjusted significantly from the hospital protocol in order to
obtain full sterilization, which demonstrates the ability of the
AsepticSure™ system to meet the many varied demands in the real
world through protocol changes without the need to alter the
technology. This new work has lead to the development of a
decontamination protocol specifically for this application which
yields results consistent with those expected in hospital setting
of 6 logs (99.9999%, sterilization standard) of bacterial kill.
Thus, we have now demonstrated that the AsepticSure™ system is
capable of cost effective hospital sterilization, locker room and
sports equipment sterilization and in due course, we expect to
assume a meaningful role in the bio-terrorism counter measures
arena as well."
Medizone International, Inc. is a research and development
company engaged in developing its AsepticSure™ System to
decontaminate and sterilize hospital surgical suites, emergency
rooms, intensive care units, schools and other critical
infrastructure. A government variant is being developed for
bio-terrorism counter measures.
