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.
