: Washington D.C. Buys New TVI Chem/Bio Infection Control Syst
B: Washington D.C. Buys New TVI Chem/Bio Infection Control System
GLENN DALE, Md., Mar 3, 2003 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- TVI Corporation (OTCBB:TVIN)
The nation's capital has chosen the newest TVI technology to protect the people,
the government and the institutions located in Washington D.C.
The systems, purchased by the Office of Homeland Security for the District of
Columbia, consist of highly portable, self-contained, trailerized apparatus that
can be deployed at a moment's notice to any site in the Washington D.C. area and
are equipped with the new TVI Bio/Infection Control facilities.
By coupling TVI's state-of-the-art technology in rapidly deployable
decontamination systems, with a full compliment of generators, self-supporting
lighting systems, and TVI's Chem/Bio Infection Control System, the Office of
Homeland Security can ensure that triage, medical and decontamination operations
can be immediately commenced, on site, with full functionality, and without fear
of contamination spread, regardless of the situation, location or scenario.
The new equipment supports chemical and biological incidences with the use of a
U.S. Army Quality Evaluation Laboratory (Aberdeen Proving Grounds) tested air
filtration system.
This system provides negative air pressure in the triage shelters and contains
the spread of both biological weapons such as smallpox, anthrax and viral
hemorrhagic fevers, as well as containing nerve agents such as VX, tabun and
sarin.
The amount of the award was $348,000. This award validates the continued quality
and unmatched performance of TVI's technology and demonstrates the real need for
rapidly deployable/portable infection control equipment.
Rick Priddy, TVI CEO states "We are proud that our equipment will be used to
help protect both the residents and visitors to the nation's capital and we
believe that the best defense against terrorism is to be well prepared. This
equipment, with the new Bio/Chem Infection Control System, brings us all closer
to that objective."
