PR Newswire "US Press Releases "
EDMONTON, Alberta, Dec. 27 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Medical Services International Inc. (Pinksheets: MSITF) is pleased to announce that it has completed additional testing of its VScan HIV test kit with the National Institute For Communicable Diseases. The regulatory agency tested 500 VScan HIV test kits with the following test results: Sensitivity- 100%, Specificity- 100%. It is very rare for a test kit to test with such accuracy. The final report also refers to ease of performance with a rating of "very easy to use" and suitability for use rating as "very suitable." A report of this magnitude from an agency with the excellent reputation of the National Institute For Communicable Diseases confirms the reliability of the VScan HIV test kit.
This report once again demonstrates the accuracy of the VScan HIV test kit. The many excellent independent test results are now being included in new updated marketing brochures and will be included on the new website that is currently being constructed. It is felt that reports of this magnitude combined with additional approvals in more countries combined with the new website will significantly increase kit sales in 2007. The Company is looking forward to an exceptional new year.

bought this as a lotto ticket but as I read these articles! when this company gets US approval and they will, this could be a pretty good play. they make it sound as though these tests are as easy to use as pregnancy tests and you know the sales on those things 20 or 30 years ago.
