The AcuTemp RKN is the first air cargo container to incorporate the new IATA approved label for time and temperature-sensitive healthcare products.

DAYTON, Ohio, November 10 - CSafe, LLC, www.csafellc.com, provider of technology solutions for the
temperature sensitive airfreight market, today announced that they are taking
immediate steps to incorporate the IATA regulated Time and Temperature
Sensitive Label for healthcare products on its AcuTemp(R) RKN air cargo
container. The new Time and Temperature Sensitive label is part of IATA's
10th Edition Perishable Cargo Regulations Manual which officially takes
effect on July 1, 2010.

The design of the label is specified in Section 17.10.5 of the IATA
Perishable Cargo Regulations. The label consists of internationally
recognizable symbols - a red triangle with a thermometer and stopwatch - to
alert the shipper that the contents require special handling with respect to
time and temperature. The label also includes a double arrow with the text
"Time & Temperature Sensitive." All elements are surrounded by a square of
blue hatches to draw attention to the label and provide valuable information
to freight handlers about the handling and importance of the container.

"As the volume of temperature-sensitive shipments continues to grow in
the pharmaceutical and biotechnology sectors, we feel that early adoption of
the new IATA specified label is a positive step in clearly identifying the
contents for priority handling," states Oliver Bootz, Vice President of
Business Development for CSafe. "Being the first container manufacturer to
incorporate the new temperature sensitive IATA label on its containers
reinforces our commitment to the cold chain from both performance and
handling perspectives."

The AcuTemp RKN from CSafe is designed to reduce the detrimental effects
of damaged and compromised goods which often result from inadequate
temperature management in conventional shipping modes. Since it began service
in 2008, the AcuTemp RKN has consistently demonstrated its ability to
maintain a customer-desired payload set-point resulting in no recorded
product loss. The container's heating and compressor driven cooling
capabilities eliminate the cost and environmental challenges associated with
the use of dry ice, refrigerated trucking and internal packaging.

CSafe will begin applying the new IATA specified Time and Temperature
Sensitive label to new units coming out of production and those already in
global circulation.
