H1N1 Vaccine Update

From the LA Times...

"The Health and Human Services secretary says the U.S. is too dependent on foreign countries for production of vaccines, as shown by delays in the release of H1N1 flu shots."

"Officials had originally projected that 40 million doses of the vaccine would be available by the end of October, but because of what Sebelius called "glitches" in manufacturing, just 11 million doses have been made available. Officials estimate that 28 million to 30 million doses will be available by the end of the month."

Keep in mind that Cardinal can help with the prevention of spreading the influenza, whether H1N1 or the regular flu. Keep us in mind for Masks, Sani Wipes, Gloves, Sanitizers, Flu Kits & Much More!

Best AntiSeptic to Use...

Not prepping the skin properly can be a recipe for disaster! So why take a chance on a product you are not completely confident in.

One that I am confident in and many other medical professionals use is Chloraprep!

Chloraprep provides two distinct mechanisms of action: 1) IPA rapidly kills microorganisms by denaturing cell proteins 2) CHG maintains persistent antimicrobial activity by disrupting the cell membrane and precipitating cell contents

So what does that mean for you?
1)Low Irritation
2)Remains active in the presence of blood, serum, etc.
3)Effective against MRSA, VRE, etc
4)Maintains antimicrobial activity for at least 48 hours
5)No Iodine--2% Chlorhexidine Gluconate (CHG) and 70% Isopropyl Alcohol (IPA)

Many to choose from...
Sepp, Frepp, Swabstick, 3mL, 10.5mL, 26mL

Ask me for prices and samples!

A1C...Doing them?

Do you treat patients who are diabetic? If so, then you either already have a Seimen's DCA A1C Analyzer or should consider one.

If you have a DCA 2000, you should know that Seimens is replacing that one with their DCA Vantage. To do so, we just need to fill out some paperwork to get you upgraded. Ask me for the details.

If you are not currently using a DCA Vantage tests for A1Cs, then you may want to consider this CLIA waived analyzer. It is interfacable with EMRs, has an onboard printer and a color screen. Below is a link to see more about the DCA Vantage and all it can do for you. Ask me to do a ROI (return on your investment) to see if it is worth bringing in-house!

Do you treat Diabetics?

I have noticed the rise in diabetics and you probably have too. One site I looked at said over 150 million people in the world today are affected by Diabetes. This makes me sad to hear that many people are dealing with diabetes, so it is up to us to help educate and treat those around us.

Right now, Cardinal has put together promotions and a focus on diabetes! It is our desire to help you be aware of what is out there to help you treat and diagnose those who may be affected. Please check out my blog this week for product information and promotions we have going on!

Coming up...
