The Signostics palm-sized ultrasound product has quality image resolution with
a touch-screen display, a start time of less than one second from sleep mode
and stores up to 10,000 images. Weighing approximately a half pound with a
sleek, compact design that fits into the palm of the hand, the product is
equivalent to the size of a smart phone. This allows physicians to place the
device in their pocket or wear around their neck like a stethoscope until the
next use, increasing the convenience of using ultrasound for diagnosis at the
point of care.

"Demand for affordable healthcare is a global issue and our product provides
physicians with an easy to use, affordable way to improve efficiency and
faster triage in the emergency room and other clinical settings. The
Signostics palm-sized ultrasound product provides physicians with a quick way
to visually assess a patient's internal anatomy that is limited with a
stethoscope. Signostics is democratizing ultrasound by making it accessible to
a much broader market," said Neil Bartlett, MD, CEO of Signostics Inc.

With additional benefits such as volume measurements, customized patient data,
voice note recording and multiple transducer frequencies, the Signostics
palm-sized ultrasound product helps physicians deliver patient care quickly
and affordably. The Signostics palm-sized ultrasound product is intended for
use in a wide range of applications, including: abdominal assessments such as
bladder, abdominal aortic aneurysm screening, and trauma assessment;
musculoskeletal; and basic obstetrics, such as pregnancy viability and fetal
positioning.

The Signostics palm-sized ultrasound product is available in the U.S. and
Australia and will be demonstrated at the American College of Emergency
Physicians (ACEP) 2009 Scientific Assembly from October 5-7, 2009 at the
Boston Convention Center in Boston, MA.

Signostics was established in Adelaide, Australia in 2005 and expanded into
the U.S. in 2008, dedicated to developing fast and affordable point-of-care
medical devices. The company launched its first product into the veterinarian
market in January 2009 and gained regulatory approvals to enter the human
medical device market for the United States, Europe, and Australia in May
2009. Signostics has 2 offices in Palo Alto, California and Adelaide, South
Australia. For more information, visit www.signosticsmedical.com.
