Brondell Returns to CES to Show-Off Award Winning Hi-Tech Toilet FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Contact: Sara Kimball Brondell Inc. (888) 542-3355 [email protected] Brondell Returns to CES to Show-Off Award Winning Hi-Tech Toilet Seats Gold Winner: 2011 Product of the Year Award from Electronic House Magazine Received at CES 2011 San Francisco, CA – January 10, 2012 The Next Must Have Gadget: Like your smartphone or tablet computer, the Swash line of electronic bidet toilet seats packs a big punch in a small package, and one that is used every single day. Last year Brondell was awarded the 2011 Product of the Year Award from Electronic House Magazine presented at CES. This year Brondell returns to the show to exhibit their award winning hi-tech toilet seats. “With the release of the $6,400 Kohler Numi this past year much attention has been paid to hi-tech toileting,” says Steven Scheer, Brondell’s President, “but with a prohibitive price tag, many consumers have been unable to experience this new trend in bathroom technology. The Swash line of advanced bidet toilet seats provides the mass market with the opportunity to take part in this bathroom revolution.” Like so many other electronics (think smartphones, flat panel T.V.s & gaming) Japan has been an early adopter of the bidet toilet seat as well. According to the Cabinet Office of Japan, as of 2009, penetration of the bidet toilet seat in Japan was 72%. This is comparable to personal computers at 75% and digital cameras at 72%. Even tech novices in Japan are bidet toilet seat savvy. Here in North America, penetration has begun to show a spark of the explosive growth that is possible. In the United States alone, there are 220 million residential toilets. A 1% penetration rate equates to a potential $1 billion market. This would be the size of next year’s projected Social Gaming industry. Think of Brondell as the next Zynga. That’s what caught the imagination of founders Dave Samuel (co-founder of Freestyle Capital, Spinner.com and Crackle.com) and Scott Pinizzotto (former Product Engineer with Sony in Japan) as well as investor Mark Cuban (owner of the Dallas Mavericks, founder of Broadcast.com and consummate entrepreneur). Offering cutting edge technology, the Swash 1000 is equipped with a super thermal conductivity ceramic instant water heater for endless warm water, a 4-way valve system enabling both spray pressure and width adjustability, silver oxide Nano particle treatment system allowing sterilization of the wash nozzles, an activated charcoal catalyst wall that deodorizes, aeration spray that introduces bubbles to the water stream creating a gentler and more effective cleanse as well as an energy efficient eco-mode that cuts down on energy consumption. Features also include intuitive wireless remote control, dual stainless steel nozzles, heated seat, warm air dryer, positionable nozzles, oscillating cleanse (massage), and slow close lid and seat. Safety features include a skin conductivity sensor, triple short-circuit cut-off, BPA molding that ensures an airtight seal and bimetallic temperature sensors.

Brondell products can be found online with major retailers including HomeDepot,com, Lowes.com, Amazon.com, Build.com, Overstock.com, and coming soon to Newegg.com.

  • Healthy Toileting Practices
    Healthy Toileting Practices Bowel movements: Start a toilet time routine. Choose a specific time during the day when your child will sit on the toilet to pass a bowel movement (make a poop) and have them use the toilet at the same time every day. The body is usually ready for a bowel movement 20-30 minutes after eating, so a good time to try would be after breakfast, lunch, or dinner. Your child’s stool (poop) should be soft and easy to pass, and look like a snake or sausage. To help your child have regular bowel movements, they should eat fruits and vegetables, and drink plenty of water. If your child is constipated they will be unable to have a bowel movement or have painful and difficult bowel movements. Please call us with any questions or concerns about constipation. Hygiene and proper cleaning are important. Please remember to wipe from “front to back”. Urination: Remind your child to sit on the toilet AT LEAST every 3 hours, or more often if they need to. Give your child enough time to sit on the toilet and try to urinate (pee). Remind your child not to rush while they urinate. Ask your child to breathe deeply and take their time when trying to urinate to relax the pelvic floor (no squeezing or pushing with the tummy). Ask them to take deep breaths and blow out the air slowly to help them relax. Double voiding: Try to have your child urinate. After your child urinates and says they are “finished”, wipe them from front to back and ask them to stand up and move around and then sit back down on the toilet and try again.

  • The Move® Toileting Program
    INTRODUCTION THE MOVE® HYGIENE & TOILETING PROGRAM The Need Do you know . ─The “toileting” issue is a primary reason people are placed in nursing homes? ─People with “toileting” issues are confined to their homes/institutions with less opportunities then to get out into their communities. ─Care providers who change the diapers experience more back injuries, stress, frustration and low morale. ─There is a lack of dignity for large people when using change tables or the floor to change their diapers/briefs. Obviously, it is especially challenging to address the “toileting” issue with large children and adults. Changing diapers on larger people is physically exhausting. Lifting a person to a change table can be accomplished with a mechanical lift, but even this is difficult and time consuming. Once the person is on a change table, the person’s body must be turned and manipulated for the removal of the diaper, cleaning and replacement of the diaper and clothing. Of course, public restrooms do not even have changing tables for larger people. The Rational and Purposes Early studies indicate many people with severe, multiple disabilities are actually capable of using a toilet on a schedule if given the opportunity to demonstrate continence. Unfortunately, many people who are beyond infancy or who cannot help with transfers are not ever given the opportunity. And to be fair, care provider time and strength is limited. The rational and purposes of the MOVE Hygiene & Toileting Program are: 1. To provide a comprehensive toileting program designed to meet the needs of people with severe, multiple disabilities as well as provide instructions for care providers on how to use the program.

  • Features and Benefits of the Cleanlet 300 Electronic Bidet Clinical Overview
    Clinical Overview Features and Benefits of the Cleanlet 300 Electronic Bidet Clinical Overview Overview The Cleanlet 300 series bidet attaches to the existing toilet pan in place of the seat and lid and draws cold water from the cistern tap. When the Cleanlet bidet is plugged into a 230V 3-pin socket the water will be heated in the small tank in - side the unit. The warm water is then piped to the wash nozzle when the “wash” button on the control panel is pressed. The cistern flush is unaffected by the in - stallation of the Cleanlet. Features • Ease of use • Warm water wash • Variable water pressures • Warm air dry • Variable air temperatures • Heated seat • Manual or Remote control models • Soft Close seat & lid Benefits • Assists people who cannot manage their personal hygiene by themselves • Retains independence and dignity and make life easier • Assists in controlling urinary tract infections • Assists in the relief of mild constipation • Eliminates the use of toilet paper for those loose bowels or skin problems and find wiping uncomfortable • Hygiene is the primary roll of the Cleanlet Bidet Clinical Overview Anal Cleansing This nozzle has three jets providing cleaning of the anal area. The water pressure can be adjusted to meet personal requirements. There is the choice of local washing or by pressing the wash a second time the wash area is elongated. The water temperature can be preset. Constipation Constipation is commonly encountered in older adults, as they are more susceptible to chronic physiologic and pathologic change that can predispose them to constipation. Clients with mild constipation have found that by using the “turbo” wash and allowing the warm/hot water to spray around the anal area a bowel movement more than likely results.

  • 4160 Procedure 2 Diapering and Toileting
    Provo City School District Policy Series 3000: Students 4160 P2 Special Education and Related Services for Eligible Students: Toileting/Diapering Students may require diapering or help toileting due to developmental level or health, physical or cognitive disabilities. These students may require diapering or toileting on a scheduled or on an “as needed” basis. These tasks should be performed with dignity and respect for the student in a private and safe setting. Students cannot be denied entry into or removed from any educational program if they have not mastered this skill. Due to the wide range of disabilities, both physical and cognitive, and the various ages and physical sizes of students who require these services, these procedures should be tailored to each individual student’s specific needs. The school nurse, physical/occupational therapist, teacher or parent can provide training. The student may have special needs requiring specific procedures. This information should be included in the IEP or 504 plan. Staff involved in changing diapers or toileting have the potential to spread germs and diseases. Following proper procedures and room set-up will reduce the risk of spreading illnesses. All staff involved in toileting and/or diapering must complete the Blood-borne Pathogen Training yearly. Parents are responsible for supplying diapers, wipes, a change of clothing and other necessary supplies for their child. District will supply approved cleaners/wipes for surfaces, gloves and other protective equipment as needed. Staff involved in diapering/toileting should receive the hepatitis B vaccine. Staff who prepare or serve food may not change diapers or assist in toilet training.

  • Modular Bidet, Cartridge Based Liquid Dispenser and Blow-Dryer System
    Modular Bidet, Cartridge Based Liquid Dispenser and Blow-Dryer System Ver. 1.0e by: “Modular Bidet, Cartridge Based Liquid Dispenser and Blow-Dryer System” – Patented ZYCAD® • P.O. Box 2482 • Conroe, TX • 77305 ABSTRACT A modular system consisting of a hand-held bidet, a cartridge based liquid dispenser and a blow-dryer that are concealed inside a single cabinet. Separate cabinets can also be utilized for each of the subassemblies, thus allowing them to be used together in any combination together or independently of each other. This unique system mounts onto a standard water tank, and is shaped to match the tank so that it blends well with the existing toilet design to make it inconspicuous for discretion and aesthetics. The bidet assembly uses a built-in, on-demand hot water apparatus, a mixing water valve unit and an electronic control device. The liquid dispensing assembly uses a replaceable and refillable cartridge that provides for a means to add medicinal or cleansing solutions to the bidet spray. The blow-dryer assembly allows the use of any standard hand-held blow-dryer and is used for personal drying after bidet use. BACKGROUND – FIELD OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates in general to hygienic devices and more specifically, a modular bidet system consisting of a bidet, a cartridge based liquid dispenser and blow-dryer assembly that is mounted on a standard toilet water tank. BACKGROUND – DESCRIPTION OF THE PRIOR ART Bidets have not been widely accepted in the United States, in spite of the many benefits. Bidets provide enhanced personal cleanliness and help can minimize the use of toilet paper which is an increasing ecological concern.

  • TOILETING by Sarah Moudry
    TOILE T ING by Sarah Moudry Functional independence in toilet training involves muscle control, the awareness and desire to stay dry, and the child’s ability to dress them- selves. This is a natural and gradual process beginning at home, and Sarah Moudry gives clear and encouraging ideas for supporting this process at school once the child is walking. Only through freedom and environmental experience is it practically possible for human development to occur. (Montessori 89) The concept of toilet awareness seems to be a new one in our culture. This is not to say that potty training is new; this concept has been around for some time and has become the typical phrase used for helping young children learn to use the toilet. However, within the concept of toilet awareness, using the toilet is actually just part of the final stages. In order to be successful in anything, one must be surrounded by information and opportunity. Children must be introduced to the idea of using the toilet as early as possible (even from birth) in order to make it a normal and typical expectation. Preparing to use the toilet is much like hanging pictures of the alphabet in a baby’s When expectations around using the toilet room or reading books are set before the age of two, a child is based on the alphabet. much more likely to willingly participate Parents don’t decorate and be using the toilet independently by this way because they the age of two and a half. expect that the child is Sarah Moudry is a lead teacher in a half-day, infant community classroom and a parent-infant class facilitator at The Post Oak School, Houston, TX.
