Opinion & Recommendation: 
Sterling Investment Services is initiating coverage on the shares of OxySure Systems, Inc., ‘OXYS’ which is a medical technology company that focuses on the design, manufacture and distribution of specialty medical and respiratory systems.  We are considering the shares of OxySure Systems, Inc. to be suitable at the current price levels to the addition of portfolios as a speculative component; and as a result we are placing a speculative buy recommendation on the shares of OxySure Systems at the current price levels.

Company Description:

OxySure Systems ‘OXYS’ has developed a unique technology that generates medically pure (USP) oxygen from two dry, inert powders. Other available chemical oxygen generating technologies contain hazards that are believed to make them commercially unviable for broad-based emergency use by lay rescuers or the general public. OxySure commenced the commercialization of its initial product in 2008. This is a lightweight, portable emergency oxygen system designed for lay person use, known as the OxySure Model 615. The company believes that the Model 615 is currently the only product on the market that can be safely pre-positioned in public and private venues for emergency administration of medical oxygen by lay persons, without the need for training.  OxySure has been issued nine (9) patents for its technology and has four (4) registered trademarks in the United States.

Products and Services: 
The company’s primary product is the Model 615, Portable Emergency Oxygen System.  The Model 615 produces medically pure oxygen for use in any medical emergency prior to first responders arriving on the scene.  The Model 615 has been approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for over-the-counter sales, without the need for a prescription.  The device utilizes two (2) inert powders that when combined produce medically pure oxygen.  This eliminates the need for oxygen tanks and regulators which can be heavy and bulky making them difficult to transport where needed, and can cause the operators of such systems to need special training in order to get tank based systems to operate properly.

OxySure Systems recently introduced a portable pulse oximeter.  A pulse oximeter is a device that measures a patient’s pulse and the level of oxygen in a patient’s blood.  In addition to its obvious uses in the medical profession, a pulse oximeter has additional uses outside the medical community including athletes and pilots of unpressurized aircraft as well as anyone else who would need to measure their blood oxygen levels.  The company introduced a basic model and a premium model that integrates with a computer to log readings and data.

Oxygen Market Overview:
While Sterling Investment Services considers the market for emergency placement of oxygen delivery to be in its infancy, we view itI as very similar to the Automated External Defibrillators (AED) market.

Automated External Defibrillators (AED) are portable electronic devices that automatically diagnose potentially life threatening cardiac arrhythmias and treat them through defibrillation.  They have been on the market since 2001, and it is estimated there are approximately 2 million automated external defibrillators currently positioned or installed within the United States alone.  It is our belief that the market for oxygen delivery systems, such as the Model 615, includes not only the market for automated external defibrillators, but also includes additional locations currently not required to have automated external defibrillators. We reason there are circumstances where a person may require oxygen, such as in the case of smoke inhalation, where a person may require oxygen, but has not encountered cardiac arrest where they would be in need of an automated external defibrillator.

The basic idea behind these oxygen delivery systems and automated external defibrillators is to bridge the gap between the onset of the emergency situation and the arrival of 1st responders.  Within the United States this gap is recognized to be anywhere from six (6) to fifteen (15) minutes.  During this period of time critical and possibly irreversible damage can occur to an individual due to a loss of blood flow or low oxygen levels in the bloodstream.  Restoring blood flow and maintaining proper oxygen levels is crucial to helping reduce the risk and occurrence of damage to a patient.  As a result automated external defibrillators and oxygen delivery systems tend to be placed in areas with a relatively high concentration of people:  schools, churches, and office buildings as well as higher risk areas like commercial and manufacturing facilities, and athletic venues.

We believe the potential market for oxygen delivery systems is very substantial, and contains ample room for significant growth and expansion by OxySure Systems, Inc. ‘OXYS’.

Recent Developments:
