Medical Services to Begin Supplying Blood Banks in China
 

February 1, 2005
Medical Services International Inc. (Pinksheets: MSITF) is pleased to announce that it will begin supplying the VScan HIV rapid test kit to blood banks in the People's Republic of China. The kits will be used by the blood banks to test the blood that is donated for the HIV virus. Test results from testing completed by regulatory authorities in China have shown that the VScan HIV test kit is ideal to be used to screen blood in blood banks. Initially the VScan HIV test kit will be used in 9 different blood banks. It is expected that based on the results that will be obtained from the initial use by the blood banks that the VScan HIV test kit will be used by additional blood banks that will result in a demand for an excess of 1,000,000 HIV test kits per year.
