TORONTO, February 11 - Biosign Technologies Inc. (CNSX: BIO) ("Biosign" or the "Company") today
announced it has been assessed and certified as meeting the requirements of
ISO 9001:2008, ISO 13485-2003, and Directive 93/42/EEC ("CE Mark") for
automated wrist blood pressure and blood glucose monitors with computer
controls. The certificates allow Biosign to add non-invasive blood glucose
monitoring to its offerings in the European Union and other regions that
recognize these certifications.
Practically, UFIT(R) TEN-20 is a blood pressure monitor that also reads
blood glucose. There is no additional hardware. Measurements are completely
non-invasive, with results verifiable for accuracy and relevance.
"Researchers have attempted for years to find a solution that can
eliminate the need for pricking the skin and drawing blood to measure glucose
levels", said Peter Tassiopoulos, Biosign's Chief Operating Officer. "UFIT(R)
TEN-20 solves this issue and, more importantly, it keeps an audit trail of
every measurement taken for future reference."
The company is scaling resources for support and manufacturing to prepare
for the anticipated demand by the market for the newly certified capability
of the UFIT(R) system. "We can now proceed confidently on executing our
ambitious plans for 2010." said Radu Leca, President and CEO of Biosign.
