FreMon Scientific

Genesis BPS’ featured ZipThaw and ZipSleeve at the annual Cell & Gene Therapy show in Miami this week.

ZipThaw is widely used by the US Armed Forces at home and abroad. Currently in the Mediterranean, the USS Bataan and USS Mesa Verde are equipped with ZipThaw for thawing and warming plasma and other blood products.

ZipThaw uses dry thawing technology — this gives it a small footprint and portability which are perfect for ships with tight spaces. And since ZipThaw is both precise and fast, the military can count on quick and quality blood thawing for service members.

This week we installed 2 ZipThaws at the Marine Corps Camp Pendleton Navy Hospital.

– Lab staff set up ZipThaw and training

– Will Davey, VP Product Management and Design, remotely instructed lab director and tech staff on operation, validation and setup. Linda Fabian and Fred Thacher in support.

– ZipThaw successfully thawed a 283ml of frozen plasma to a precise temperature in short order.

Friends, we emailed this notice yesterday to our list and received a lot of positive feedback, so we’re reposting it to our blog.

ZipThaw Goes Global

ZipThaw is becoming the choice of hospitals for thawing and warming blood products, not only nationwide, but worldwide. ZipThaw, along with the ZipSleeve disposable, is now installed in nearly 200 locations, from the Midwest to the Middle East.

Trauma centers, critical access hospitals, US Navy ships, veterinary emergency hospitals, research labs, VA hospitals, other military facilities and university hospitals now use ZipThaw’s updated technology to more easily and cheaply thaw frozen plasma. ZipThaw is dry, portable, precise and quick.

The FDA cleared, AABB Scope certified device gains market share each month. We welcome Malaysia into our family of countries now importing ZipThaw.

We’re hard at work prepping ZipThaws for delivery.

Here’s Will Davey, VP Product Management and Design and Fred Thacher in St. Paul, MN to test another 90+ ZipThaw202s for release to sale.

Detailed test data recorded on each ZipThaw202 to comply with FDA standards.

ZipThaw is a blood product thawer that uses revolutionary dry technology to quickly thaw blood products for patients in need. ZipThaw is dry, so there’s no messes like with water baths, and fast, so you can increase your thawed plasma throughput — it’s also easy for staffers to use. With simple thawing, staffers can spend their time elsewhere on other critical tasks.

Last generation water bath thawers require enormous amounts of staff time to prep, use and continually decontaminate the devices. Circulated water gets dirty fast. With ZipThaw, there’s a disposable ZipSleeve that both protects the device and assists rapid thawing. If there’s ever a blood product bag leak, simply toss out the ZipSleeve. The device stays untouched. Staffers can move on to other things.

Generally, ZipThaw maintenance is as simple as wiping the device off from time to time, and replacing the heating cushions once or twice a year — a five-minute process done by a staffer, on site. This is less than an hour of maintenance per year, versus many long hours per week with hot water baths.

To learn more about ZipThaw, contact us for a video or in-person demonstration.

We’ve been on the road introducing ZipThaw, the revolutionary blood product thawing device, to military and civilian clinicians.

We’re delighted to partner with Minnetronix to manufacture ZipThaw, a dry, lightweight, safe and very fast blood product thawing device. We’re made in the USA courtesy of partners like Minnetronix in Minnesota. fremonscientific.com. Take a tour inside their facilities to learn more about them:

ZipThaw is a revolutionary blood product thawing device. It’s dry, it’s portable, it contains advanced sensors so it precisely tracks the thawing curve, and it’s fast.
ZipThaw is also very cost efficient. How? First, ZipThaw uses far less electricity than a hot water bath which needs to be pre-warmed and left on for hours at a time. Second, since ZipThaw is a blood product thawing device built from the ground up, we were started with a blank page and designed a thawing device that is dry, safe and accurate. This means there are huge efficiencies with ZipThaw.

• There is no maintenance or cleaning labor on weekly basis and no time.
• Since it’s dry, there are no required toxic chemicals like algicies and no need for deionized water. There are no required wet sinks, draink hoses, air filters to replace and water disposal.
• ZipSleeve means there are no lost samples and a dramatically reduced risk of cross contamination.
• Since it’s portable and has a small footprint, you can move ZipThaw and don’t take up valuable bench space.
• Lastly, since ZipThaw is so easy to use, there are fewer labor costs and training time.

Dear Shareholder and Friends,

As CEO and a Director of FreMon Scientific it gives me great pleasure to introduce two new Members of the FreMon Scientific Board of Directors.

Fresh frozen plasma is an invaluable resource for clinicians and researchers that can’t afford to be wasted. Unfortunately, the process of thawing FFP in a water bath can lead to enormous plasma waste.
