ASA: A Year of Service in Pennsylvania through Expansion and Program Development

October 23rd, 2011

A desire to grow and succeed is inherent in just about every company’s business plan. In the past 12 months, Automated Security Alert has taken this mantra to a new level by expanding its service area and becoming an integral piece of the development behind state-run aging programs.

ASA has undergone a complete rebranding to align the team with the people and organizations they serve. The grand opening of the certified Life Safety Monitoring Center in Pittsburgh is slated for November 2011. The facility is UL listed, features disaster recovery plans and back up support in Colorado in the event of an emergency. In the past year, office locations have also expanded to King of Prussia and Cleveland.

These imperative extensions have allowed ASA to impact a greater amount of people’s lives, especially in the most underserved areas in all of Pennsylvania’s 67 counties. At the request of the Philadelphia Corporation for Aging (PCA) over two years ago, ASA has worked diligently to bring service to both the rural and urban residents of the area. Through introduction as a provider with the local Waiver and Options programs, participation in seminars, health fairs and community events, and the opening of a local headquarters, a relationship has emerged that allows the team to deliver the ASA advantage to the market.

Challenges are faced when providing service to the mountainous areas of Pennsylvania, causing the residents to be some the most in need of quality care. Citizens of more dense communities often have their choice of care providers and emergency resources at their disposal. Rural regions have less contact readily available, which can put them in greater danger when a fall or medication error occurs. Similarly, urban areas frequently are underserved when crime rates and general discomfort become a factor. Whereas it can be considered a risk to provide to these areas, ASA prides itself in bringing quality service where it was not available in the past.

Along with the expansion across the state comes greater involvement with the local home and community based services. ASA is a provider to all 52 Waiver programs in Pennsylvania. This allows the team to offer home monitored medication management and medical alert solutions to seniors eligible for care. Through the delivery of quality customer service and superior life safety technology, ASA has developed a unique relationship with the county care managers. They have learned to look to the team for both support of their consumers and development of new initiatives.

One such program in its early stages is Care Transitions. Under this model, consumers will be open to a more communication-based care plan that features a health coach. This person will act as a liaison between the entire care team, as opposed to the current sole link between the provider and care manager. As the latest technological advancements are being tested, ASA already has equipment and practices in place that will bridge the gap and fix the current communication breakdown. Studies already show that this will lead to a premium level of care that has not yet been achieved. Representatives from ASA have been heavily involved in the conferences and research conducted on the new program.

While the finale to the year quickly approaches, the ASA team is already looking ahead to 2012. Exciting opportunities will continue to emerge, including building the foundation of Care Transitions and an expansion to serve the residents of Maryland.

About Automated Security Alert: ASA has been a local provider of personal emergency response and medication dispensers since 1988. With offices in Philadelphia, Cleveland and their main headquarters in Pittsburgh, ASA’s trained operators provide in-home safety throughout the region with medical alert, fall detection and medication management systems. Through use of the array of available products, patients can increase their time at home by an average of six years.

Early Diagnosis With The POCT HIV Test Kit Saves Lives

The product offered by HIV-Test-Kit.com is recognized globally and is used at care clinics, hospitals and blood transfusion facilities, places that report HIV affected people.

Sometimes it might be difficult to identify HIV in a person if he suffers from another illness. Actually HIV is not a disease in itself. It is the breakdown of the body’s defense mechanism to fight diseases. So, if you are suffering from flu or cough, it could be that, your body’s natural immunity is powerless because you are affected with HIV.

National Microscope Exchange is now selling the newly-released ATAGO PRM-100a In-Line refractometer for testing fruit juices, soft drinks and other products

May 14th, 2010

Atago Company has added the  newly released PRM-100a In-Line refractometer, designed to monitor and control the concentration of dissolved solids or water soluble liquids in process lines for the control of mixing, concentration, fermentation, and control of the concentration of water-based or alkali-based detergent, or other similar products.

Carnation, WA, May 10, 2010 – The successful series of in-line digital refractometers by Atago Company LTD has added a new product, and it is being carried by National Microscope Exchange.  The newly released ATAGO PRM-100a digital refractometer has replaced the popular older style PRM-85 and PRM-85SE instruments, which were a mainstay of the company for years.   Atago Company is one of the most respected world leaders in the manufacture of refractometer products according to National Microscope Exchange President Rowland Brasch.

“The newly designed PRM-100a In-Line refractometer continues on in the tradition of excellent ATAGO products which have made it a world leader in refractometry,” said Brasch.  “The new ATAGO-PRM-100a incorporates the accuracy and ease of use found in the less expensive model CM-780N, but adds the features of a higher degree of accuracy along with the capability to measure refractive index as well as brix.”

The new PRM-100a In-Line refractometer has accuracy readings of +/- 0.05% brix and +/- .00010 for refractive index, and has two options for setting the minimum indication decimal place, as well as the ability to set a User-Defined Scale (input via RS-232C).  This instrument is easily connected to your system by attaching the unit to a piping system to monitor food or beverage production, pharmaceutical production, industrial fluid, washing devices, dilution/mixing devices, etc.  The in-line refractometer will continuously monitor water content and mixing ratio with successive measurements of refractive index, Brix, or concentration.

“ATAGO refractometers such at the PRM-100a are popular with users because of their accuracy and ease of use,” said Brasch. “The PRM-100a In-Line refractometer is more accurate than other ATAGO In-Line refractometers, making it more attractive to users.”

LPG’s Cellu M6 Keymodule Gets FDA Clearance for Treating Lymphedema

December 17th, 2008

Miami, FL – According to the World Health Organization, Lymphedema afflicts hundreds of millions worldwide. Of these, the US Department of Health and Human Services estimates more than 300 million are American. Various forms of massage are used to treat this painful condition, but none really have enough consistency or depth-of-action to produce results. But now one does. The Food and Drug Administration (FDA), has just given the Class 1 Cellu M6 Keymodule, manufactured by LPG, Inc. (a medical device company renowned as the world leader in connective tissue technology), full FDA clearance for Lymphedema. The new claims are as follows:

· Reduction of secondary Lymphedema of the arm (SLA) post mastectomy (RX only)

· Improvement of secondary Lymphedema (RX only)

· Improvement of lymphatic circulation in the treated area (RX only)

For this FDA clearance, LPG presented well-documented, scientifically proven clinical results showing the Technology’s efficacy on the body’s circulatory, anti-edematous and dermatrophic systems. Along with these published studies, multimodal clinical studies examining the efficacy and durability of the traditional Manual Lymphatic Drainage (MLD) and Compression Bandaging (CB) versus the non-invasive LPG Treatment were conducted by Neil Piller, M.D., Professor for Lymphology at the Lymphedema Assessment Clinic of Flinders University Medical Center in South Australia.

Michel Van Welden, the Chief Executive Officer of Techno-Derm (LPG’s exclusive US distributor), explains, “Dr. Piller’s research demonstrates that LPG Technology offers an all-inclusive, standardized therapy for SLA pathology – with greater consistency, efficacy and faster results than MLD – which confirms that LPG devices are essential for treating patients with Lymphedema.”

The study included 45 patients with a Lymphedema volume difference of > 200 ML who had had a mastectomy and auxiliary clearance with SLA within at least 31 mo. (post-chemo and/or radiotherapy). The 24 in the LPG test group completed 16 sessions for anastomosis mobilization and drainage (4 times a week over 4 weeks) for 25 minutes (duration/session). The 21 in the MLD Control Group completed 16 sessions on the unaffected and affected arms, neck, back, upper am and torso (4 times a week over 4 weeks) for 45 minutes (duration/session).

Participants were required to have not had active arm or LPG Treatment prior to entry. Evaluation criteria included perometry imaging device for volume and cutaneous skinfold circumference measurements, tonometry for bio-impedance measurements, lymphoscintigraphy for functional modifications, echography for tissue thickness and structural modifications and self questionnaires of QDV impact on pain, hardness, and heaviness.

The research concluded that the LPG Treatment showed significant decreases in perometry (18%), bio-impedance (23.5%), and tissue softening in half the time as the MLD control group and with a sustained effect. What’s that mean? That LPG’s FDA cleared Cellu M6 Keymodule presents a lastingly effective solution for millions of Lymphedema sufferers around the world. Lymphedema occurs whenever lymph nodes have been damaged – so although this study examines the Cellu M6 Keymodule’s treatment of breast cancer mastectomy Lymphedema – it’s also ideal for Lymphedemas resulting from lumpectomies, radiation treatments and many other procedures.

Study Information:

Professor Neil Piller, MD is a lymphologist and the Team Leader of the Lymphedema Assessment Clinic at Flinders Surgical Oncology. He is a professor at the Flinders University Medical Center in South Australia and co-author of The Lymphedema Handbook: Causes, Effects and Management, 2002.
