Re: Batteries for EPDs

>  Here at Rad Health in California we use Siemens EPDs for our alarming 
dosimeters.  When we attempted to buy new batteries for them, we were told 
by the company that took over from Siemens that they could not supply 
batteries anymore.  That has put us in a difficult situation.

We have a blanket purchase order with Seimens and  on the 23rd of this
month we got a letter indicating that ICN was no longer supporting EPDs and
associated systems for Seimens. They are planning on establishing an office
here in the US (which they estimate should be in operation by mid August).
For now here is the point of contact listed on the letter.

There are three other contracts listed one each  for software engineering,
hardward engineering and commercial/production...but I figured these two
would at least get you started.
If you would like the other contacts, please let me know. I can be reached
at (423) 220-2142 or via e-mail.

Hope this helps....
