Press Release: Personal Pandemic Kit

For Immediate Release

The Personal Pandemic Kit keeps you safe and prevents the transmission of disease. This medical-grade kit contains high-protection components and is easy to use, easy to store and easy to carry in a bag, briefcase or suitcase.

LAKEVILLE, MN – December 1, 2009 – With a multitude of personal protection products on the market, how do you know what’s necessary to protect yourself in unexpected situations which may pose a threat to your health? The Personal Pandemic Kit contains the medical-grade items you need for protection against pathogens in your home, workplace or when traveling.

Ideal for home caregivers and those with fragile immune systems or serious medical conditions, the Personal Pandemic Kit is also perfect for travelers or those who frequent crowded public places, such as airplanes, trains, buses, subways, schools, conferences, concerts, areas with known outbreaks, or any public place. The Personal Pandemic Kit is easy to take with you: all the contents come assembled in one 6” x 9” labeled clear zipper bag.

The Personal Pandemic Kit contains the basic personal protection equipment necessary to keep you safe: high quality medical-grade nitrile gloves (which exceed federal ASTM Standards for glove safety), and a CDC-recommended N95 particulate respirator mask designed for medical use. Easy-to-follow seal-check instructions are included to ensure your N95 mask (one size fits most) fits tightly and prevents external pathogens from entering. The Kit also contains a disposable single-use thermometer to detect one of the first signs of illness: fever. For additional safety, a Super Sani-Cloth medical-grade surface disinfectant wipe (with a two minute kill time for 99.99% of harmful pathogens) is included to remove infectious germs from areas you cannot avoid touching.

Last, after using and disposing of the gloves, mask, thermometer and surface wipe (now considered contaminated and infectious), a VioNex Anti-Microbial hospital-grade hand towelette is provided for your final personal clean-up. The VioNex towelette not only kills 99.99% of pathogens on your hands, it also contains chloroxylenol, which continues to eliminate germs on your hands for a short period of time.

The clear zipper bag features a label which lists the contents of the kit. When items are used, the label can serve as a reminder to refill the appropriate items, keeping your kit ready for another use. To refill your kit, contact Unimed-Midwest, Inc. for a distributor in your area. All items in this Kit can be purchased separately.
