SURG ... News Release (BSNS WIRE) OASiS Earns Praise at Initial Installation OASiS Earns Praise at Initial Installation Business Editors/Health & Medical Writers SARASOTA, Fla.--(BW HealthWire)--May 1, 1998-- Sarasota Memorial Hospital reports acceptance by its employees Surgical Safety Products, Inc. (OTC BB:SURG) has announced that the first hospital in the world to utilize the OASiS Touch-Access Information System to track its accidental bloodborne pathogen exposures has just completed its 60-day review of the system. According to Maureen LeClair, Sarasota Memorial Hospital's Director of Employee Health Services, the hospital is very pleased with the performance of the system. "The healthcare worker likes the immediate clear information and instruction concerning their exposure and the use of the printout as the injury reporting form." said LeClair in her recent report. This initial report card, presented to the hospital's Infection Control Committee, focused on the performance of OASiS as a reporting and information system for its bloodborne pathogen exposure section. "The system offers so much more, but our most mission-critical application is taking care of our employees that have been accidentally exposed to a patients blood or other bodily fluids." LeClair continued "Typically, when a new system has the capability to have such an enormous impact on a massive initiative (tracking blood and fluid exposures) such as this, you expect major problems with implementation." According to LeClair, not with OASiS. "It is apparent that Surgical Safety Products did their homework prior to releasing this product." SURG sees this excellent rating as validation that will lead to mass commercialization. "Sarasota Memorial Hospital has a national reputation as being technologically advanced, so we expect their stamp of approval to carry a lot of weight as we roll out our national distribution plans." commented Michael Swor, M.D., MBA, SURG's Founder and Chief Executive Officer. Exposure reporting was the founding module developed on OASiS, however, Sarasota Memorial Hospital's installation also has version 1 releases of 5 other components. These are Medical Device Training (a main revenue source for funding this project), Communicable Exposure Information, Safety News and Events, Employee Education, and Hospital Policy reference. OASiS has quickly become SURG's highest profile product. It was originally conceived as purely a tracking means for accidental exposures and for reporting these exposures to U.S governmental concerns such as Centers for Disease Control and OSHA. But as the system has developed, its focus has shifted toward servicing the needs of each hospital customer and the industry content providers. In fact, with the successful launch of the product at SMH, the company has received inquiries from health concerns outside the U.S. including Latin America and Western Europe. -0- This release may contain forward-looking statements regarding future events and the future performance of Surgical Safety Products, Inc., that involve risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially including, but not limited to, economic conditions, customer demand, adequacy of financing, increased competition in the relevant market, and other factors. --30--pp/mi* CONTACT: Surgical Safety Products, Inc., Sarasota Don Lawrence, 941/927-7874 Extension 102 KEYWORD: FLORIDA INDUSTRY KEYWORD: MEDICINE Today's News On The Net - Business Wire's full file on the Internet with Hyperlinks to your home page.

>They already have a $300M contract sitting on the table waiting on the FCC >approval formality. NO, that is wrong and I have seen this "fact" touted on CW as well....I just would like to clear this up as I am aware of what this statement SHOULD say... "Once (assuming) FCC approval is granted, there are SEVERAL (not ONE) POTENTIAL contracts on the table which could result in $300 million revenue to GLCP. There are contracts totalling approx. $7 million which are almost a guaranteed go once FCC approval comes in but the other $293 million are potential contracts which are still in negotiations (not definite but potential)." Just like to see the facts on the stocks I own set straight Boob
