KINDERHOOK, N.Y., Feb 9, 2004 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- American Bio Medica Corporation (NASDAQ:ABMC) today announced that it has shipped its first order of Rapid Reader(TM) devices for use in the cruise ship industry. The Rapid Reader is a compact, portable device that, when connected to any computer, captures a picture of the test results on an ABMC drug screen using a high resolution camera. The Rapid Reader's proprietary software analyzes this image and interprets the results. The information is then sent to a data management system, which enables the user to interpret, store, transmit and print the drug test results. The Rapid Reader system can only be used to interpret and record the results of ABMC drug screens."The Rapid Reader system will enable us to secure the business of customers that would otherwise not use a point of collection drug test", stated ABMC Vice President of Sales and Marketing Todd Bailey."By virtually eliminating human error in the interpretation and recording of drug screen results and allowing secure electronic sharing and storing of test results, the Rapid Reader alleviates concerns any potential customer may have about using point of collection drug tests."Bailey added,"With or without the Rapid Reader system, our products are still the most user-friendly, cost effective and accurate drug screens on the market."For more information on ABMC and its drug testing products, visit www.abmc.com |
