FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
BIOSIGN ANNOUNCES START OF GAMUT GLUCOMETRY TRIAL
TORONTO, ONTARIO, January 25, 2007 – Biosign Technologies Inc. (CNQ: BIOS)
announces today the start of its GAMUT trial. The multi-track study will further substantiate the
measurement capabilities of Biosign’s UFIT™ system. The first track, GAMUT-1, will assess the
substantial equivalence of UFIT™ with the laboratory analysis of venous blood glucose, which is
the “gold standard” for blood glucose measurement in medical practice.
GAMUT-1 will also assess the substantial equivalence of UFIT™ with a top-selling glucometer,
which uses capillary blood obtained by lancing the skin. Such glucometers are routinely
recommended for diabetes self-care.
UFIT™ computes the glucose level in the arterial blood from its flow characteristics, while
measuring blood pressure. The method shares the general characteristics of UFIT™ technology:
noninvasive and user-friendly, readily accessible over the Internet according to local regulations,
runtime quality assurance with prompt detection and recall of defective units, and results
verifiable for technical accuracy and clinical relevance.
GAMUT will observe recent regulatory guidances on medical device trials, including the use of
ISO standards and Bayesian statistics. This allows the inclusion of Biosign’s prior studies.
GAMUT-1 is scheduled for presentation at an international workshop on medical measurements
and applications in April, 2007.
