LOS ANGELES, July 17, 2006 (PRIMEZONE) -- Universal Detection Technology (OTCBB:UDTT) (FWB:P08) (www.udetection.com), a developer of early-warning monitoring technologies to protect people from bio-terrorism and other infectious health threats, announced today that it has drafted a complete response plan for a potential positive alarm by BSM-2000. The plan details the procedures that UDTT's customers will need to take into consideration in the event of a positive anthrax alarm. It also allocates responsibilities to various on-site and off-site security staff members and members of the management team of the premises where BSM-2000 is installed.
"The completion of the response plan is a milestone in our efforts to provide a comprehensive set of services to our customers with regards to early detection of a bio-terror attack. It allows us to educate our customers in not only installing and maintaining BSM-2000 but also effectively handling a positive alarm," says Nima Montazeri, UDTT's VP of Strategic Development. "Today we heard about an investigation by the NY Times on an envelope with white powder received by the agency. Our protocols will help outline procedures for dealing with unfortunate situations like this," he added.
The response plan shall also be discussed during UDTT's orientation sessions aimed at training the management and the security staff of the adopters of BSM-2000.
