Avner Gal, President and CEO of Integrity Applications, said, “These distribution agreements reinforce that there is a global need and demand for GlucoTrack model DF-F. With our recent extended CE Mark approval to six-month calibration validity, we believe that our device offers users an important advantage of monitoring themselves in a convenient, not painful way, which leads to better adherence in treating the disease. Integrity Applications is continuing to negotiate with potential distributors who can offer our new, noninvasive alternative for monitoring blood glucose to diabetes patients in further jurisdictions.”

The GlucoTrack model DF-F gives Chinese diabetic patients an alternative way to check their glucose without pain at a reduced cost as compared to traditional, invasive glucose measurement devices. We are looking forward to bring the GlucoTrack model DF-F to diabetic patients in China and working with Integrity Applications.”
