LOS ANGELES, CA, Apr 07 (MARKET WIRE) --

developer of early-warning monitoring technologies to protect people from
bioterrorism and other infectious health threats and provider of
counter-terrorism consulting and training services, announced today that
its products have been approved by the General Services Administration

ensure that all first responders are properly equipped in the event of a
biological crisis and we are pleased to be working together with The
