SOLE SOURCE VENDOR STATEMENT
This letter is to certify that Med -Eng System Inc. is the manufacturer for our EOD Protective Equipment in North
America. As sole supplier of this equipment, Med -Eng Systems Inc. has a non - exclusive contract with Fisher Safety, to
distribute Med -Eng equipment on our behalf. This equipment would include the EOD -81ol Suit and Helmet, SRS-5 (D) Suit
and Helmet, Basic visor and Chem/Bio Visor.
In 1995, the EOD -7B(TM) bomb disposal suit/helmet system was introduced and set a new standard of protection for
EOD/IEDD protective systems. In 1999, Med -Eng introduced the highly advanced and user friendly EOD -8(o) suit. The
EOD -8 Helmet first production run was launched in December 2000, and the EOD -8 helmet went into final production in
May 2001.
The flexible and versatile SRS5 Light Weight Explosive Protection System was presented for both mine clearance duties
and police operations where Bio- Chemical explosive devices are suspected.
Other ensembles available from Med -Eng are: V- Top (R) Crowd Control Protective System, a unique HDE demining
Ensemble and a revolutionary Anti - Personnel Mine Foot Protection System. (Patents pending)
OTHER ACCESSORIES:
Like all Med -Eng suits, the above are compatible with Body Cooling Systems. The HW -300 is designed specifically to
meet the stringent requirements of Explosive Disposal Teams. The HW -300 is fully compatible with the Med -Eng EOD
Series Helmets. The Med -Eng search lights, SL -307B and SL -SRS5 for our helmets and protective ballistic gloves are
other options available from the EOD product line.
REMOTE HANDLING TOOLS
Med -Eng Systems has been the Sole Source Supplier with intellectual property rights in North America for the Med -Eng
Remote Handling Tools.
Remote handling equipment and tools that complement robotic vehicles or that may be used independently in a stand-
alone configuration are available from Med -Eng Systems allowing the user to maintain minimum safety distances from a
suspected device.
Tools such as the EOD Shields and the Advantage Hook and Line Kit and the Hazardous Devices Technicians Tool Kit,
have aided in minimizing human exposure to an explosive device and improves operational flexibility.
We have (1) year warranty on Med -Eng equipment. All service repairs are performed at our facility only in Ottawa,
Ontario, Canada by authorized Med -Eng technicians.

Lenore Hickey
Sales Coordinator
