Medizone International and Innovasource Initiate Exclusive AsepticSure® Product Evaluation Agreement

KALAMAZOO, Mich., March 22, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- Medizone International, Inc. (OTCQB:MZEI) or Medizone, manufacturer of the AsepticSure^® system, today announced the initiation of a Product Evaluation Agreement (the "Agreement") with Innovasource, LLC, a leading manufacturer of cleaning, deodorizing and disinfecting products ("Innovasource").

Pursuant to the Agreement, Innovasource will lead the evaluation of the utility of the AsepticSure^® system compared to existing cleaning practices in a variety of facilities and settings.  Use of AsepticSure^® will be on non-porous hard surfaces, consistent with existing regulatory approval.  In addition, Innovasource will use commercially reasonable efforts to locate third parties that are willing to evaluate the system and to facilitate such evaluation by providing the system and trained personnel to demonstrate the system to such third parties. 

The Product Evaluation Agreement builds on a relationship between Innovasource and Medizone that commenced with the previously announced execution by the two companies of a Sales Representative Agreement in April 2017 and a Supply and License Agreement in October 2017.  Pursuant to the Sales Representative Agreement, Medizone authorized Innovasource to solicit sales of the AsepticSure^® Disinfection System to specified major accounts and agreed to pay Innovasource a commission on the net receipts from such sales.  The Agreement will augment Innovasource's efforts to sell the AsepticSure^® system to such accounts.

Medizone's CEO, David A. Dodd, commented, "This agreement is consistent with our recent commercial roll-out of AsepticSure^®, focused on ensuring that AsepticSure^® is utilized and validated in real-world settings.  Innovasource is proving to be an excellent strategic partner for us.  By demonstrating the AsepticSure^® system to their existing customer base, we will gain real-world experience with the system while highlighting its very positive attributes to a wide base of potential customers.  Such activity is critical and necessary for eventual AsepticSure^® adoption throughout various markets.  As a critical initial step, we feel that this Agreement is a real win-win for both parties."  

Commenting on the Agreement, Innovasource President & CEO, Glenn Cueman, noted, "We have been increasingly impressed with the scientific validation in support of AsepticSure^® and the potential to provide this technology as a distinct improvement in the disinfecting and cleaning of non-porous hard surfaces, across various markets.  We look forward to proceeding with this Agreement, introducing AsepticSure^® to a variety of different, yet important customers who will clearly benefit from use of this advance in disinfecting/cleaning technology, consistently providing an unprecedented 6-log kill of viruses, bacteria and other pathogens."
