GlucoTrack® Maker Announces Receipt Of Final Regulatory Approval In South Korea

Receives immediate first order from distributor

Ashdod, Israel /PRNewswire/ - Integrity Applications, Inc. (OTCQB: IGAP), maker of GlucoTrack®, a non-invasive device for measuring glucose levels of people with Type 2 diabetes and pre-diabetics, announced today that it has received the final regulatory approval required to market and sell the GlucoTrack model DF-F in South Korea.

The Company had recently disclosed that it had received initial regulatory approval from the Korean Ministry of Food and Drug Safety (KMFDS, formerly KFDA) for the GlucoTrack® model DF-F; however, prior to commencing sales the Company would be required to undergo a GMP (Good Manufacturing Practice) audit. The audit has been completed and the Company has now received final approval to begin selling the device.

In addition, the Company announced that its South Korean distribution partner placed an immediate initial order for 100 GlucoTrack® model DF-F units upon receipt of the KMFDS' regulatory approval.

About GlucoTrack®
GlucoTrack® is a non-invasive device for measuring glucose levels of people with Type 2 diabetes or at risk of developing diabetes that does not require pricking of the fingers to draw blood for daily glucose monitoring.  GlucoTrack® features a small sensor that clips to the earlobe and measures the wearer's glucose level by taking measurements using three technologies. The measured signals are analyzed using a proprietary algorithm and displayed on a small handheld device the size of a mobile phone. The derived glucose measurement is also announced verbally, facilitating use by elderly and vision-impaired diabetes patients.

The GlucoTrack® Model DF-F is expected to begin clinical trials for United States FDA approval in early 2017. The product is currently experimental in the United States and is limited to investigational use only.

GlucoTrack® Model DF-F obtained a CE Mark approval in Europe (June 2013) and final CE Mark approval in March 2014 and in December 2015 received approval to market the device also to pre-diabetics.
