OMNIFLIGHT HELICOPTERS, INC. INCORPORATES NEWEST

PORTABLE VENTILATOR TECHNOLOGY INTO ITS AIRCRAFT FLEET

Most advanced, State-of-the-art Ventilator Technology to be Introduced in

Every Omniflight Aircraft over Next 18 Months

Addison, Texas … DATE, 2009 …. … Omniflight Helicopters, Inc., a leading national provider of air medical services, announced today that it has implemented an initiative to add new portable ventilators to all its aircraft in an effort that will begin in October 2009 and is expected to be completed by April 2011. Omniflight is the first civilian air medical services operator to introduce the portable ventilator across its fleet of about 100 aircraft nationally.

Features of the new state-of-the-art Impact Instrumentation, Inc. EMV+ Portable Ventilators to be used by Omniflight include:

· Real time altitude compensation – ensures that the patient receives consistent ventilation, thereby improving potential oxygenation.

· Air worthiness -- AWR is the most stringent standard for medical equipment. The device must pass a multitude of tests including operating temperature, altitude compensation, and affect on any of the aircraft instruments.

· Ventilator screen – Offers better viewing and is compatible with night vision goggles, a fairly new technology which aids in enhancing night sight as well as viewing in direct sunlight.

· Advanced monitoring - Integrated on-screen patient monitoring of oxygen saturation and heart rate.

· Enhanced power - 10 hour battery life with two-hour charge time compared with current industry standard of 1-4-hour battery life.

· Smart-Help™ - provides care givers with alarm resolution support.

The EMV+ Portable Ventilator is manufactured by New Jersey-based Impact Instrumentation, Inc. a medical device developer and manufacturer of respiratory products and measuring instrumentation and is being supplied to Omniflight by (PMI) Progressive Medical International, a Vista, Calif.-based supplier of medical equipment and emergency care supplies.

Rick Rambo, vice president of clinical services at Omniflight, commented on the new ventilator roll-out, stating: “At Omniflight, we are always striving to provide the latest in medical technology in our quest to deliver the highest levels of quality patient care.
