TRUMBULL, Conn. – October 18, 2022 – (Newswire.com)

ZetrOZ Systems, creator and manufacturer of the sam® wearable ultrasound product line, announces that it will be attending the 2022 National Workers’ Compensation and Disability Conference from Oct. 19 to 21 at the Mandalay Bay Resort and Casino in Las Vegas. National Comp is the largest gathering of workers’ compensation professionals in the United States.

ZetrOZ Systems Founder and CEO Dr. George Lewis will present at the conference and share the benefits of sam®, which can reduce treatment costs by up to $27,000 and reduce lost work time by up to 16 weeks. The company will host a gathering of partners at the High Roller observational wheel to soar 550 feet above the Las Vegas strip during the conference activities.  

According to the National Safety Council (NSC), a worker is injured on the job every seven seconds in the United States, resulting in 99 million days of lost productivity every year. Also according to the NSC, work-related injuries cost the US economy approximately $171 million in 2019. Many workers did not file workers’ compensation claims, but of those who did, the average per-worker cost was roughly $44,000. The most common workplace injuries include sprains, strains, tears, soreness, and pain — all injuries for which sam® is ideally suited and revolutionizing treatment for in the United States.

“We’re honored to engage with our partners at National Comp 2022 to talk and hear about the benefits sustained acoustic medicine has provided from both a recovery and economic standpoint,” said Dr. Lewis. “In creating a faster, safer, and more effective treatment than narcotics and opioids, we’re getting workers back on the job faster and in better shape than they normally would have been. With sam® treatment and proper education, workers can expect better long-term healthcare outcomes and get back to normal faster.”

sam® technology is FDA-cleared and has demonstrated its ability to relieve pain and return subjects to work, sports, and other activities in over 40 peer-reviewed studies. Designed for easy, long-term home use, sam® treats injuries at depth via long-duration, low-intensity ultrasound to treat pain, increase local circulation, and improve joint function without adverse side effects or risks.

Fatigue Puts U.S. Businesses at Risk of New COVID Wave, Advises SaferMe

Fatigue Puts U.S. Businesses at Risk of New COVID Wave, Advises SaferMeAs European COVID deaths rise, it’s time for businesses to review their pandemic planning and ensure lockdowns won’t be needed or even recommended

AUSTIN, Texas – October 18, 2022 – (Newswire.com)

As European countries see an increase in their COVID infections, providing an early indication of what is potentially on its way to the USA, SaferMe, a leading pandemic readiness company, is recommending that local businesses review their pandemic readiness plans in the face of a potential winter surge of the virus. 

The European Centre For Disease Prevention and Control has stated that it has begun “seeing indicators rising again in Europe, suggesting that another wave of infections has begun.” Pooled COVID data up to the end of week 40, 2022 (the week ending Oct. 13), in Europe showed “widespread increases were being observed in all indicators, with one third of EU/EEA countries reporting increases in COVID-19 deaths.” 

“What is concerning is that many U.S companies are developing COVID fatigue and are becoming complacent with their planning, despite growing health indicators in Europe. It is just good business continuity protocol to ensure that pandemic plans are always up to date,” says Clint Van Marrewijk, CEO and founder of SaferMe. “Companies that rely on outdated historic pandemic plans or adopt a wait-and-see approach are potentially jeopardizing business operations, supply chains, and jobs.”

Additionally, America will also be heading into its flu season. “Irrespective of the pandemic type or its magnitude, now is the time for businesses to take the responsible steps to be prepared for all types of pandemic eventualities. Companies that are well prepared can avoid complete lockdowns. We have had some bitter lessons in what not being adequately prepared means. Businesses have a duty of care to look after their employees and all visitors on company premises,” adds Van Marrewijk.

To mitigate against the impact of poor pandemic planning, SaferMe recommends that companies develop an integrated response, which can be activated within 48 hours of a virus risk surpassing the company’s risk tolerance. The following steps will help companies achieve this:

  • Monitoring health developments inside their business as well as up and down their supply chain and the environment in which they are located
  • Contacting partners, suppliers and customers to ensure that they have up-to-date pandemic plans
  • Avoiding “siloed” pandemic plans that exist in isolation. Instead, incorporate an integrated pandemic plan into the company’s business continuity planning
  • Pre-approving response systems, such as technology, that can confirm which employees have been in contact with each other (only when needed). This information is derived from second-generation contact tracing, which makes the old-fashioned phone tree systems completely obsolete — these must be removed from all plans 
  • Develop a virus toolkit that exist in a state of readiness and can be activated at a moment’s notice. The toolkits must contain personal protective equipment, a supply of hygiene supplies such as hand sanitizers, an automated contact-tracing system, and company-wide health-check ability.
