Expands Testing in the Caribbean
May 5, 2005
Medical Services International Inc. (OTC: MSITF)
wishes to announce that it has
agreed to begin additional testing of its VScan HIV 1&2 test in the
Caribbean on an expanded basis so that it will receive regional
approval for its VScan HIV test kit. Regional approval on this level
will nearly double its current market in the Caribbean as well as
give Medical Services credibility in South and Central America. This
testing will start immediately and is expected to be completed by
the end of May, 2005.
Once approval is received for the VScan HIV test kit it is
reasonable to expect that the Company will receive orders in the
Caribbean for the VScan HIV test kits exceeding 1,200,000 test kits
per year. This type of regional approval combined with the current
approvals in South America will make the approval process in South
and Central America much quicker and easier.
The Company has been continually expanding its distribution network
in South and Central America and feels that it is reasonable to
expect that the market will be over 2,500,000 VScan test kits per
year in these areas.
