Company Expects to Conduct Study Comparing Easy Check Device to Standard "Finger Stick" Method In 2010
DELRAY BEACH, Fla., Jul 21, 2010 (GlobeNewswire via COMTEX News Network) ^^ PositiveID Corporation ("PositiveID" or the "Company") (Nasdaq:PSID) announced today that it has completed the design of its prototype handheld Easy Check Breath Glucose Detection Device and plans to complete the development of the prototype unit by the end of 2010. The small unit, measuring approximately 5.5 inches by 4.5 inches, utilizes a single-use capsule containing a proprietary reagent that triggers a chemical reaction that can be immediately measured and correlated to blood glucose levels. The Company believes this device could eliminate a patients need to prick his or her finger multiple times per day in order to get a blood sugar reading. The Company plans to begin conducting side-by-side comparisons of the handheld device versus the standard "finger stick" earlier than originally anticipated.
