CALIMESA, Calif., March 15 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Ingen Technologies, Inc. , a medical device manufacturer of OxyAlert(TM), OxyView(TM), and Secure Balance(TM), announced today the appointment of Dr. Michael Koch as a member of the Advisory Board for Physician Education.
“Thank you for the offer to join your advisory board; I am honored! As I mentioned, I’d like to be as big a part of Secure Balance(TM); working within the parameters set forth in my agreements with Secure Health, Inc., as I believe this can be a win/win/win situation. The Secure Health team is enthusiastic and well qualified. I’ve known of only great things about them. They have the will to proceed quickly and make many sales. On the back side, customer service is essential, and I will be providing some form of practice management consulting to make sure that the Balance Clinics are more successful,” said Dr. Michael Koch.
Dr. Koch completed his undergraduate degree at Northern Illinois University, and earned his Doctorate in Chiropractic Sciences in 1977 from Palmer College of Chiropractic. He has been in practice since 1978 serving the communities as a licensed Chiropractor. As a lecturer and author on vestibular & balance correction, healthcare practice, manipulation under anesthesia, multidisciplinary practices, rehabilitation and, more recently, balance medicine; Dr. Koch provides valuable assets to our clinical advisory board.
Michael, his wife Ann and his three children have lived in the Illinois area for many years. Their son, Scott, is a DO and specializes in general and vascular surgery, and their other son, Marc, is an active detective with the Police department. Their daughter, Margaret, is a law student at Loyola University.
Dr. Koch began researching Balance & Fall Prevention in 1998, due to the fact that both his mother and mother-in-law suffered from falls. He understood the dramatic impact this had on their lives, and as a result he created Balance & Fall Prevention as his foundation of services as a son and Chiropractor.
“Michael and I go back several years together working with Balance & Fall Prevention. We welcome Michael Koch to our Advisory Board and Secure Balance(TM) support team. Secure Health has just recently sold the first of several systems, and Dr. Koch will be a valuable assistance with the clinical workshops for chiropractors. We look forward to a successful sales program with Secure Health and Michael Koch, DC,” said Scott Sand, Chairman & CEO.
About Ingen Technologies, Inc.
Ingen Technologies, Inc. is a public company trading under NASDAQ OTC: IGTG, which has been in business since 1999. IGTG is a medical device manufacturer and a growth-oriented company that owns US patent(s), trademarks, and proprietary medical products. Ingen Technologies, Inc. (“Ingen” or the “Company”), a Georgia Corporation, was formed as a result of a reverse merger in March 2004 whereby Ingen became a publicly-owned company and commenced trading in the Over-The-Counter market on the Pink Sheets. Ingen (GA) is a holding company which owns or has intellectual property rights to certain proprietary devices which primarily provide diagnostic and safety features to health practitioners and patients. Operations are conducted through a 100%-owned subsidiary, Ingen Technologies, Inc. of Nevada, which has been in business since 1999 when Chairman/CEO Scott R. Sand founded it. The principal executive office is in Yucaipa, CA, northeast of Los Angeles.
The Company’s flagship product is OxyAlert(TM), a second-generation design of the Company’s BAFI(TM) product line. Both of these products have been issued two US Patents: Patent No. 6,137,417 issued on October 24, 2000 and Patent No. 6,326,896 issued on December 4, 2001. Both of these products are low-oxygen safety warning devices used on remote oxygen cylinders for patients, commercial aircraft, military transport, and fire and safety equipment. OxyAlert(TM) technology encompasses the use of digital sensing and RF frequency transfer so that care givers can access a hand-held remote to monitor the actual oxygen level of any oxygen cylinder at a reasonable distance.
The newest product, OxyView(TM), has a patent pending, and is a pneumatic gauge that provides visual safety warning of oxygen flow for patients in the hospital, surgical room, outpatient therapy, nursing homes and emergency response facilities. This product enhances the safety, assurance and accuracy of patients being administered oxygen from any source. OxyView(TM) is a lightweight pneumatic gauge that is attached to the oxygen tubing just below the neck. It informs the nursing staff of the oxygen flow rate near the patient. It could quickly inform the physician or technician of any leak or inaccuracy between the delivery source and the patient.
The Secure Balance(TM) product is a private-label product that includes a vestibular function testing system and balance therapy system. The vestibular function testing system is manufactured by Interacoustics LTD. in Denmark and is referred to as the VNG. The balance therapy system is manufactured by SportKAT(R), Inc. in San Diego, California. The Secure Balance(TM) program provides equipment, education and training about balance and fall prevention to physicians and clinicians worldwide.
The Pure Produce(TM) product is a continuing research & development program currently under design. This program uses hydroponics technology to grow various plants without the use of soil, fertilizer and water consumption. The Company anticipates entering the nutriceutical and pharmaceutical markets over the next two years.
“Our team of professionals has developed our medical products for the ever-increasing elderly population. Our products are superior to any of our competition and they allow for effective medical product availability to seniors, and at the same time the increasing senior population allows for a steady growth in sales and profits,” said Scott Sand, CEO & Chairman of Ingen Technologies.
