CEDAR KNOLLS, N.J., Aug. 1, 2005 (PRIMEZONE) -- Scantek Medical, Inc. ("Scantek") (Pink Sheets:SKML) announced today that it entered into a Letter of Intent (the "Letter of Intent") with Medical Sales Consultants, GmbH ("MSC") pursuant to which Scantek has set forth its intention of entering into a Distribution Agreement with MSC pursuant to which, subject to the terms and conditions thereof, Scantek shall grant MSC an exclusive, perpetual license to distribute BreastCare(tm)/BreastAlert(tm) Differential Temperature Sensor product ("BreastCare(tm)") in Austria, Czech Republic and Slovakia.
The Distribution Agreement shall be subject to certain terms and conditions, including, but not limited to, payment of a purchase price for the license and meeting certain minimum sales requirements. Scantek and MSC have not yet entered into a Distribution Agreement and there can be no assurance that a Distribution Agreement will be entered into.
Scantek is a high-tech medical company engaged in developing, manufacturing, selling and licensing of products and devices to assist in the early detection and diagnosis of disease. Initially, Scantek intends to focus upon manufacturing, selling, and licensing the BreastCare(tm) device. The BreastCare(tm) device is to be used by physicians as an adjunct to clinical breast examination, mammography and other established procedures for the detection of breast disease.
BreastCare(tm) can significantly improve early detection of breast cancer when used as an adjunct to clinical breast examination and mammography. In clinical studies in the United States (i.e., Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center, N.Y.; MD Anderson Cancer Center, Houston; Guttman Institute, N.Y.; Georgetown University, and Brotman -UCLA), in Brazil and at the European Institute of Oncology in Milan, Italy, BreastCare(tm) has been clinically proven capable of recognizing metabolic activity (angiogenesis) by recording the heat differentiation of corresponding areas of the breast. At the present time, in developing countries, as well as industrial nations, there is no available screening procedure which identifies increased metabolic activity due to abnormal cell proliferation.
