Auto Control Medical and the Heart and Stroke Foundation of Canada are pleased to announce a special, first time ever, promotion to encourage Canadians to monitor their blood pressure at home.

Montreal, Quebec (PRWEB) January 13 2006 - Auto Control Medical and the Heart and Stroke Foundation of Canada are pleased to announce a special, first time ever, promotion to encourage Canadians to monitor their blood pressure at home.

During the entire month of February 2006, for every validated LifeSource™ blood pressure monitor sold in Canada, $5.00 will be donated to the Heart and Stroke Foundation of Canada. A validated blood pressure monitor is one whose accuracy has been endorsed by the caption “Recommended by the Canadian Hypertension Society” as found on the Canadian retail package. A minimum of $35,000 has been pledged. Eligible sales will be tabulated by combining point-of-sales (POS) data where available and trade sales during the month of February. All validated LifeSource™ upper arm “automatic inflate” monitors are part of this promotion.

An extensive advertising campaign has been planned using the Internet and print advertisements in 50+ and Le Bel Age magazines during the months of January and February. A special point-of-purchase retail counter mat has also been developed showing the print ads and all 5 LifeSource™ product models. Furthermore, the Heart and Stroke Foundation will feature details of the promotion on its website at www.heartandstroke.ca.
