Integrity Applications Signs Additional Distribution Agreement for GlucoTrack® Model DF-F Glucose Monitoring Device


ASHKELON, Israel --(Business Wire)--

Integrity Applications, Inc. (OTCQB: IGAP), developer of the GlucoTrack® model DF-F non-invasive blood glucose measurement device, has entered into a distribution agreement appointing Kocak Medical & Laboratory Technology Ltd. as the exclusive distributor of the GlucoTrack device in Turkey effective February 14, 2014. According to the International Diabetes Federation, more than 7 million diabetes patients live in Turkey, representing approximately 15 percent of the nation's adult population.

Sercan Kocak, CEO of Kocak Medical & Laboratory Technology Ltd., said, "We believe diabetes patients in Turkey, as elsewhere in the world, are in need of new blood glucose monitoring options. The GlucoTrack® model DF-F non-invasive blood glucose measurement device offers this patient population an innovative alternative that we expect to have widespread appeal. We are pleased to be working with Integrity Applications to facilitate this significant advance in diabetes care. We will also maintain a dedicated website providing detailed information about the GlucoTrack and where diabetes patients will be able to purchase the device in Turkey."

Sales of GlucoTrack in Turkey are expected to begin by the end of the second quarter of 2014, and will be made available to diabetes patients through the channels to be announced on www.GlucoTrack.com.tr. Based on the minimum purchase requirements contained in the distribution agreement, Kocak Medical & Laboratory Technology Ltd. is expected to purchase a minimum of $4,000,000 of GlucoTrack model DF-F devices from Integrity Applications in the first contract year. Kocak Medical & Laboratory Technology, established in 1992, is one of the leading distributors of medical, laboratory and genetic products in Tukey.



Avner Gal, President and CEO of Integrity Applications, said, "This milestone marks our second distribution agreement for GlucoTrack® and we look forward to providing patients with diabetes a new, non-invasive option for monitoring blood glucose. I am confident that the diabetes community in Turkey, as well as other nations, will embrace this tool as a fresh alternative to existing (invasive) blood glucose monitoring options."

GlucoTrack features a small sensor that clips to the earlobe and measures the wearer's blood glucose level by taking measurements using three technologies. The measurements are analyzed using a proprietary algorithm and displayed on a small handheld device, the size of a mobile phone. The derived blood glucose measurement is also announced verbally, making it suitable for the elderly and vision-impaired diabetes patients. The company has obtained a CE Mark for its GlucoTrack Model DF-F in Europe and intends to seek Food and Drug Administration approval for GlucoTrack in the United States.
