HealthSonix Clears enSonix@Home Medical Device With the FDA

Posted on: Tuesday, 3 October 2006, 18:00 CDT

HealthSonix, Inc. (PINKSHEETS: HSXI) (FRANKFURT: H7S) is pleased to announce that another new product has been registered and cleared with the United States, Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The enSonix@home personal treatment device has been designated as a class one device, the safest classification for medical devices with the FDA. The enSonix@home has been indicated for pain reduction and muscle relaxation.

"We have achieved another significant milestone in our business development by registering enSonix@home with the FDA. enSonix@home is an exciting new product that will appeal to a wide patient base. Over 350,000,000 people world wide suffer from arthritis pain. With this new medical device, we offer affordable, effective arthritis pain relief with no known side effects. Patients can use it in the comfort of their own homes or while traveling," said Dieter Doederlein, Vice President of Corporate Development. "Arthritis is still the number one cause of chronic pain in North America and our breakthrough medical technology is very timely with the aging of the population. The product is available in limited quantities presently and will be launched commercially in first quarter of 2007."

enSonix@home will retail for $150 and will initially be marketed directly to consumers through direct response infomercials and direct to consumer advertising through AARP and Arthritis Today consumer publications.

The sound pressure waves generated by the enSonix@home medical device are believed to work in three ways: they stimulate mechanoreceptors in the skin, which in turn communicate with the brain and block pain messages from getting through (gate control theory of pain); they create an exercise effect in the muscles, which encourages the production and release of endorphins, the body's natural pain killers; and they increase blood circulation.
