ASUS & Brain Tunnelgenix Technologies Partner to Deliver First PC-Based, FDA-Approved Temperature Monitoring System

American Society of Anesthesiologists Annual Meeting, San Diego, CA (October 16, 2010) - ASUS® and Brain Tunnelgenix Technologies Corp.™(btt™Corp.), of Bridgeport, CT, have established a partnership to deliver the first personal computer-based temperature monitoring system approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration. Specifically designed to be used during surgical procedures, in the recovery room, in intensive care and for general patient monitoring, the new Abreu btt™ 700 System for continuous temperature monitoring incorporates an ASUS Eee PC 1005HA as a key component. The Abreu btt 700 System is the world’s first continuous and noninvasive device that measures temperature on the skin surface of the body with the highest thermoconductivity, the fat-free skin that overlies the Brain Temperature Tunnel (BTT), a new thermal organ in the body discovered in groundbreaking research by Dr. Marc Abreu of Yale University. “We feel privileged to be working closely with Brain Tunnelgenix Technologies on this revolutionary and proprietary product, which now gives the personal computer a major role in medical practice and improving patient care,” said Ben Thacker, Vice President, North America Systems Business Group, Sales & PMs. “We look forward to a long and mutually beneficial relationship with Brain Tunnelgenix Technologies Corp. and to further important and exciting technologies introduced by them.” Brain Tunnelgenix Technologies Corp. Chief Executive Officer Rick Foreman sees a similar benefit from the partnership. “We are delighted that one of the tech industry’s leading innovators has partnered with us.
