SUSPENDED ANIMATION, INC. ANNOUNCES THE INDUSTRIES NEWEST AND MOST
ADVANCED DUAL ACTION THUMPER FOR SUPPORT OF CRYONICS PATIENTS WORLDWIDE.

Through an exclusive agreement with Michigan Instruments, Inc. of Grand
Rapids, Michigan Suspended Animation is proud to accept delivery of
their first updated Dual Action Thumper. "This Thumper is far superior
to the others on the market because it is easier to use, lighter, more
transportable, and much more quiet and efficient.

"We've been collaborating with Michigan Instruments for months on this
new design and we're happy to be not only the first company to have one
but the sole distributor to the cryonics industry for this device. Our
engineers have been in discussions and many meetings with Michigan
Instruments and we've created the best there is." Say's David Shumaker
the companies CEO.

This device is designed to be a stand alone unit with a back plate but
also adapts itself to attach directly to the Portable Ice Bath used on
Transport Services. This means that our Standby Team has far less heavy
and cumbersome equipment to manage at a patient's bedside enabling us to
provide the best service in the industry. 

The unit is approximately 40% lighter than previous models, and almost
80% less noise is created when in use. David Hayes, the companies COO
states that "On a Standby there is always the concern of how much
equipment we have and how noisy we are going to be once we begin working
on the patient. With this device we will be much less obtrusive to the
hospital when we begin our Transport Services." He adds, "It is also one
of the few in use that provide not only compression of the chest for
blood flow and respiration but also de-compression. Something that is
vitally important to the proper oxygenation of a patient.  It is also
one of the few devices on the market with built in intubation
respiration at the American Heart Association recommended 5 compression
strokes to 1 respiration cycle.  The compression piston is adjustable to
fit body sizes from children to extra large adults."

This device is marketed through Suspended Animation, Inc. to the
Cryonics industry and can be purchased directly from their website.
