O Certification to be Finalized for Export Markets
YUCAIPA, Calif., July 30, 2009 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Ingen Technologies, Inc. (Pink Sheets:IGNT - News), a leading Medical Device Manufacturer focused in the $8 Billion global Respiratory Markets for the growing ageing population and emerging markets for Home (DME), Hospital and Aviation Industries, announced today that the company expects to be listed as a GSA contractor by the end of the year, and at the same time will finalize the ISO certification in order to export the new Oxyview Nasal Cannula to China, Japan, Canada and Europe.
Ingen has prepaid the fees required for the Texas based KGMA Business Solutions, Inc. to finalize the GSA Schedule 65IIA proposal for submission in August-2009. The GSA Schedule 65IIA allows Ingen to be listed under the U.S. General Services Administration as a contractor to sell medical products and services to the military and government owned VA Hospitals. With hundreds of VA Hospitals and more than 25 million veterans, the new Oxyview Nasal Cannnula will be sold into all of the respiratory departments at a contract price of $4.50 each. It is estimated that there are more than 2 million veterans prescribed home oxygen therapy. The company has already placed the new Oxyview Nasal Cannula with several VA Hospitals around the country. Projected GSA sales for Ingen are expected to be $2M annually.
Cheryl Fisher with the Texas based Emergo Group Inc. is scheduled to finalize ISO training on August 17, 2009. The International Standards Organization (ISO) required certification with manufacturers who sell products in designated countries outside the USA. Ingen is a licensed and FDA registered medical device manufacturer. ISO certification allows Ingen to market and sell the new Oxyview Nasal Cannula in China, Japan, Australia, Canada and Europe, with projected sales of $200M annually.
"Ingen will be GSA listed and ISO certified in time to launch the new Oxyview Nasal Cannula in to new government markets and world markets. This can only strengthen sales and earnings for our shareholders. The company is now preparing for a share buy-back program as a part of strengthening the share price. There are no reverse splits considered now or in the future. The shareholders must be considered first, and our products and revenues will blaze a new trail for this company," stated Scott R. Sand, Chief Financial Officer and Chairman of the Board.
