American Innotek Introduces the Brief Relief Field Lavatory System; Unique Product Makes the Question "Where to Go" Obsolete.

SAN DIEGO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--July 30, 1998--American Innotek Inc., maker of the Brief Relief(TM) line of personally portable field sanitation products, today announced the national availability of its all-inclusive Brief Relief Field Lavatory System.

Developed for outside plant crews to satisfy their needs in mobile settings when there is no other alternative, the Brief Relief System is so lightweight it can be carried to a site by a single person, requires so little storage space that it fits behind the seat of any vehicle, and proves so simple to use that it can be completely set up in less than five minutes.

"As deregulation in the utility and telecommunications industries sweeps the nation, companies are aggressively seeking ways to enhance customer service while protecting their corporate image," stated Cass Cassidy, American Innotek president & CEO. "The Brief Relief System ensures that the issue of privacy and the risk of public exposure are eliminated. It also provides a healthyand safe alternative for utility companies' field sanitation needs. Brief Relief products enhance field productivity by enabling workers to remain on the job site instead of driving to the nearest public facility when nature calls."

Each Brief Relief System comes complete with a Personal Privacy Tent, which pops up quickly and easily and fits into a small carrying bag; The Commode, a sturdy, top locking base holding a full-size folding toilet seat; and disposable Brief Relief and Disposa-John bags for liquid and solid waste.

The Brief Relief System is designed for use by both men and women and contains a blend of naturally bioactive polymers and enzymes to instantly gel and break down waste. All of American Innotek's products are EPA/OSHA compliant, and can be disposed of along with paper trash in any trash container or landfill.

"The Brief Relief System provides mobile workers with the only viable one-stop, transportable solution for all their restroom needs," said Cassidy. "It answers the question of where to go, whether you're 60 feet up in a bucket or down in a manhole."

San Diego-based American Innotek Inc., maker of the Brief Relief(TM) System, has developed a brand-new category of field lavatory products. The proprietary technology developed and patented by American Innotek has been used to create the only complete personally portable and disposable solution to the sanitation needs of today's mobile workforces.
