YUCAIPA, Calif., Jan. 14, 2010 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Ingen Technologies, Inc. (Pink Sheets:IGNT), a leading manufacturer of respiratory medical devices, recently announced the introduction of their Oxyview product line at the 2010 ATS International Conference on May 14-19, 2010 in New Orleans, Louisiana.
The American Thoracic Society (ATS) is committed to disseminating the latest advances, nationally and internationally, in the fields of lung disease, sleep disorders and critical care medicine. The annual International Conference has become the premier, international forum for physicians and scientists who work in pulmonary, critical care, and sleep medicine.
The company will reach 13,000 pulmonologists through the advertising in Medco Forum's ATS issue that is scheduled to be released on May 1, 2010. Medco Forum will also host the Oxyview advertising on their website.
The company now advertises in several major publications, inclusive of COPD Digest, Today's Senior Magazine and Medco Forum.
Throughout 2009, Ingen showcased their newest medical respiratory equipment at several conventions, including the MEDICA convention in Germany and the American Association of Respiratory Care (AARC) in San Antonio, Texas. These showings captured the attention of many distributors who were interested in Oxyview, taking Ingen a step closer to achieving international distribution and a growing presence in the hospital and therapy markets.
As the number of respiratory diseases continue to increase, so too does the number of patients requiring oxygen support. That's why Ingen expects to see more demand for the Oxyview Nasal Cannula and the Oxyview Pulse Oximeter in 2010 and the coming years. The company expects to acquire more distributors in the United States and the developing markets of Asia, Canada, Australia and Europe.
