ISO 13485-2003, and Directive 93/42/EEC ("CE Mark") for automated
wrist blood pressure and blood glucose monitors with computer

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.
