Big thing with this company: Broad-based clinical trials (scheduled to start June 2000), file with the F.D.A. for approval, commence manufacturing and marketing, and finance future inventory. The Company expects clinicals to take about six months and the F.D.A. to grant approval within six months of filing. The clinical trials are underway... there will be more on this soon... FDA approval: The company seems willing to keep shareholders updated on this. Here is more on it: The ELAST Device(TM) is a patented, non-invasive diagnostic tool designed to accurately diagnose allergies, as well as food and chemical sensitivities immediately and without any of the pain or expense associated with currently employed testing methods. Current allergy testing methods include the oral challenge test as well as blood and skin prick testing. These methods all include the introduction of the potential allergen to the body with concomitant discomfort and risks. In contrast, the ELAST Device(TM) is being designed to test for allergies and sensitivities non-invasively through means of simple exposure, without the introduction into the body of the potential allergen. The ELAST Device(TM) is based upon the clinical observation that the normal flow of electricity in the human body is altered when its immune system is exposed to a substance to which it is sensitive or allergic. The non-invasive nature of the ELAST Device(TM) is possible because the device measures the body's electrical response when it is exposed to an allergen, and through this measurement the ELAST Device(TM) assesses the testing subject's profile of reactions to various substances. "By employing the breakthrough announced today ELAST's scientists now have an alternative non-invasive method of exposing the testing subject to a potential allergen, thereby increasing the opportunities to measure the alteration in the body's electrical response to a sensitivity," stated ELAST Technologies' founder and Chief Scientist Robert D.
