OxySure(R) Model 615 Used to Save Elementary School Child in Medical Emergency
FRISCO, Texas, April 7, 2008 /PRNewswire/ -- OxySure(R) Systems, Inc.
today announced a happy ending in a medical emergency involving an elementary
school child inSouth Carolina. During the emergency a potentially tragic
outcome was averted when a school nurse recognized an immediate need for
medical oxygen when the child collapsed. The quick-thinking nurse immediately
accessed the school's OxySure(R) Portable Emergency Oxygen Generator, Model
615 and administered the life-saving oxygen. The OxySure(R) Model 615 is a
safe, easy-to-use portable oxygen generator that uses a new, groundbreaking
technology that creates medical oxygen from two dry, inert powders. Model 615
can be placed in public places, schools and in the home to allow a layperson
or bystander to provide oxygen in medical emergencies during those first,
critical minutes. Model 615 was cleared by the FDA for Over-The-Counter (OTC)
sale and therefore does not require a prescription.

Said Ashlyn A. Gray, RN, a school nurse for Orangeburg Consolidated School
District 5: "On March 14, 2008 one of the children in our school collapsed in
a medical emergency. A quick diagnosis revealed the child's blood oxygen level
was at 80%. We immediately administered medical oxygen using the OxySure(R)
Portable Emergency Oxygen Generator, Model 615. We had previously purchased
this unit to have it prepositioned as a safe source of emergency oxygen. We
received the OxySure(R) Model 615 the day before the incident, apparently not
a day too soon. I found the OxySure(R) Model 615 intuitive and easy to use
during the emergency. The child was fine after the incident, and the outcome
appears to be positive."
Rob Rogers, Vice President of School Health Corporation, an authorized
distributor of the OxySure(R) Model 615 stated: "The Orangeburg Consolidated
School District 5 is one of our many valued customers and we feel fortunate to
have played a role in this positive outcome. As the leading supplier of
medical products to over 60,000 schools, we believe the OxySure(R) Model 615
is an example of our commitment to bringing new and innovative technologies to
our customers."
