(OTCBB:REPR) has been notified by Health Care Financing Administration (HCFA) that its Res-Q-Vac Oral Vacuum Suction System has been approved for reimbursement for home-care use under miscellaneous durable medical equipment code E1399. The sterile catheters are approved for tracheal suction, code A4624, and for oropharyngeal suction, code A4628. The Res-Q-Vac is a hand-operated, portable, lightweight suctioning device and can be used at home for suctioning patients with tracheotomies, swallowing disorders, excessive fluid or phlegm, Cerebal Palsy and any time suction is needed in the naso-pharynx. The Res-Q-Vac is totally portable and non-electric, providing complete mobility. "The use of the Res-Q-Vac at home represents tremendous value and efficacy to patients in home care," commented Andy Sealfon, president of Repro-Med Systems Inc. "While patients get the benefit of portability and quality of care, insurance carriers will appreciate the huge reduction in the cost of providing suction equipment to these patients. This market is potentially larger than the Emergency Medical Market we are presently selling due to the actual amount of suctioning done in the home." Typical costs of conventional electric suction run in the hundreds of dollars, while the home-care version of the Res-Q-Vac complete with sterile catheters and vial is priced at less than $80.
