B: Biocontrol Delivers Diasensor 1000 to the FDA
PITTSBURGH (March 29) BUSINESS WIRE -March 29, 1999--Biocontrol
Technology Inc. (OTC BB:BICO) announced today that a Diasensor 1000
Noninvasive Blood Glucose Monitor was delivered to the Food and Drug
Administration (FDA) following the conclusion of a technical seminar
presented to FDA staff members at the Company's Indiana, Pa.,
facilities on March 23 and 24, 1999.
The FDA purchased the Diasensor 1000, which is already approved for
sale in the 15-country European Union, in order to evaluate its
performance characteristics and conduct laboratory and clinical
research on noninvasive monitoring. The purpose of the seminar was to
educate the attending FDA staff members regarding the application,
operation and maintenance of the device. Biocontrol will continue to
assist the FDA, as requested, in their study of this new noninvasive
technology.
David L. Purdy, president of Biocontrol, stated, "The FDA personnel
who attended the seminar were very knowledgeable about existing
invasive glucose testing technology, and the Biocontrol presentation
was designed to extend FDA personnel's understanding of the Company's
noninvasive technology used in the Diasensor 1000. Both the FDA and
Biocontrol personnel profited from the interchange of concepts embodied
in the Diasensor."
Biocontrol Technology has its corporate offices in Pittsburgh, Pa.,
and is involved in the development and manufacture of biomedical
devices and environmental products. Biocontrol has the exclusive rights
to the research and development and manufacturing of the Diasensor
1000. Subsidiary Diasensor.com Inc., also located in Pittsburgh, Pa.,
