New supply agreement

Tristel PLC 03 March 2008 For immediate release 3 March 2008 TRISTEL plc Supply agreement with BHT Hygienetechnik GmbH, Germany for a specialist washer-disinfector Tristel plc ('Tristel'), the AIM listed provider of infection and contamination control products, announces that it has entered into a supply agreement with BHT Hygienetechnik GmbH ('BHT'), Augsburg, Germany for the supply of washer-disinfectors specially designed for the small endoscopes used in Ear, Nose and Throat (ENT) examination procedures. This manufacture and supply agreement supersedes a design and development agreement that the companies entered into in March 2007 under which BHT developed the design for the washer to Tristel's specification. Commenting on the manufacturing and supply relationship with BHT, Paul Swinney explains: 'In 2003 we launched the Tristel wipes system for the small diameter endoscopes used for nose and throat examinations. It has proven to be extremely successful with over 50% of all ENT departments in the country using the system. However, many of the hospitals that have not adopted the wipes system have expressed a preference for an automated decontamination process. The washer-disinfector that we have developed with BHT fits the bill. BHT is a world renowned manufacturer of endoscope decontamination equipment.'
