Respiratory Management Magazine to Debut at Medtrade 2006

CHATSWORTH, Calif. -- June 20, 2006 -- Respiratory Management, an industry publication targeting home medical equipment (HME) respiratory suppliers, sleep disorder professionals and respiratory therapists, will debut at Medtrade 2006 this September, 1105 Media Inc. has announced.

Respiratory Management is the newest member of 1105's HME Media Group, headed by publisher Karen Cavallo. The magazine's editor is Deborah Cooper.

"With the challenging environment we're facing, a magazine focused on the needs of the respiratory community is needed now more than ever," Cavallo notes. She referenced the new 36-month oxygen rental cap, supplier accreditation requirements, a rapidly expanding sleep disorders market, inhalation drug therapy fees and national competitive bidding as examples of topics that will receive in-depth coverage in Respiratory Management.

"Our mission is to provide in-depth and practical business intelligence that is, above all, focused exclusively on the needs of respiratory suppliers and professionals," says Cavallo, whose publishing experience includes more than seven years in the HME industry.

The new title joins monthly sister publications Home Health Products--a 13-year-old product-driven tabloid magazine covering the entire HME spectrum--and Mobility Management, a magazine devoted exclusively to the HME mobility and rehab markets, and created by Cavallo five years ago. Respiratory Management will be published bi-monthly in 2007.

Respiratory Management is the first new magazine to grow out of the HME Media Group since its parent company 1105 Media Inc. was formed in April 2006. In addition to being mailed to 12,000 qualified HME respiratory professionals, Respiratory Management will be distributed at Medtrade, the home medical equipment industry’s largest trade show, taking place September 18-21 in Atlanta.
