- Patented Technology Developed to Prevent Drug-Related Injuries in Hospitals

Medisafe 1 Technologies Corp. (OTCBB: MFTH), a developer of patented technologies that physically prevent unauthorized administration of prescription medications, today announced positive developments relating to the production of a prototype of its patented medicinal locking device technology.

The prototype has successfully passed the company's preliminary testing phase. The tests confirm the potential of the prototype to significantly reduce preventable drug-related injuries in hospitals.

The purpose of the patented device is to physically prevent medication administration errors in hospitals. The device includes a syringe locking mechanism that works in concert with a bar-code reader and database system.

The device uses a barcoded system to electronically confirm whether the syringe held by a medical practitioner contains the correct medication and dosage that has been prescribed to a particular patient, before allowing that medication to be physically administered.

"Medication administration errors in hospitals cause 400,000 preventable drug-related injuries and 70,000 deaths each year," said Jacob elhadad, Chief Executive Officer of Medisafe 1 Technologies. "The preliminary tests of the patented locking-device prototype give us tremendous confidence that our product may aid in significantly reducing instances of such injuries."

"As the healthcare industry in the U.S. continues to mandate the usage of safer syringe technologies, including Barcoding Point of Care (BPOC) systems, Medisafe 1 Technologies is well positioned. Factoring the possibility of widespread implementation, the total potential addressable market for Medisafe's patented technologies could exceed $1 billion per year," Elhadad added.
