Medis Power Pack Xtreme(TM) Emergency Kit Debuts on HSN TV

Posted on: Friday, 19 June 2009, 07:30 CDT

HSN customers get access to one of the first personal and portable consumer fuel cells, providing instant, reliable emergency power, in time for the hurricane season.

NEW YORK, June 19 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Medis Technologies Ltd. (Nasdaq: MDTL), creator of the world's first personal and portable consumer fuel cells, announces the debut of its Power Pack Xtreme(TM) Emergency Kit on June 22, 2009, on the shopping network HSN, a leader in interactive retail shopping experiences. Based on the Medis Direct Liquid Fuel Cell Technology, the Power Pack Xtreme Emergency Kit is a personal fuel cell power system that delivers instant emergency light and power to portable devices without the need for batteries or pre-charging. The ideal 'Plan B,' with a simple shake of the product, the Medis Power Pack Xtreme Emergency Kit can power your cell phone, mp3 player or flashlight for many hours over several days when grid power is not available due to natural disasters or other issues, and batteries have given up or faded out.

"Medis is excited to bring the Power Pack Xtreme Emergency Kit to millions of HSN viewers across the nation," said Jose Mejia, Medis CEO. "No longer do we need to wait days or weeks after experiencing a disaster - ice storm, flood, earthquake, hurricane - or hunt through a dark house for the right battery until power is restored. Instead, the Power Pack Xtreme Emergency Kit offers an instant power source in a time of need, keeping your flashlights on and cell phone working. And since it is not a battery, the fuel cell is a convenient power option that creates 'new' electricity when needed."

The Medis Power Pack Xtreme Emergency Kit is a clean and safe-to-use energy source, supplying multiple charges to an array of devices including mobile phones, smart phones, and other handheld electronic products, in addition to powering the included 14-LED flashlight for many hours. Simply activate the Fuel Cell Power Pack with a simple shake of the product to access 20 watt-hours of energy. With no measurable heat, it creates new electricity in the palm of your hand!

Mejia added, "As the Department of Homeland Security promotes its Resolve to be Ready 2009 campaign, the Medis Power Pack Xtreme Emergency Kit fits the DHS's recommendation for consumers to prepare for disaster." The Resolve to be Ready 2009 campaign outlines a preparedness plan that includes "an emergency supply kit, a family emergency plan, and being informed about the different types of emergencies that could occur and their appropriate responses."
