X-Message-Number: 23337 From: "David Hayes" <> Subject: Suspended Animation News Date: Wed, 28 Jan 2004 14:18:11 -0500 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.
