Company Provides Sponsorship Support and Delivers Scientific Presentation on Topical Issues at 2016 IABR Breath Summit in
Zurich, Switzerland, September 14th-16th
VANCOUVER, BC--(Marketwired - Sep 8, 2016) - Breathtec
BioMedical, Inc. (CSE: BTH) (CNSX: BTH) (FRANKFURT: BTI) (OTCQB: BTHCF) (the "Company" or
"Breathtec"), a medical diagnostics company focused on developing, in-licensing and commercializing proprietary,
innovative and best-in-class breath analysis devices for the early detection of infectious and life threatening diseases is
pleased to announce that Chief Technology Officer Dr. Michael Costanzo will be making a presentation regarding the development of
the Company's technology at the 2016 IABR Breath
Summit scheduled for September 14 to 16 in Zurich, Switzerland.
Dr. Costanzo will be giving an oral presentation entitled "Developing a Point-of-Care Device for Breath Analysis Utilizing
FAIMS and FAIMS/MS" at the event hosted by the International Association of Breath Research (IABR). The presentation
provides context for the continued development of a breath analyzer which offers rapid measurement, high sensitivity and
specificity in a form factor targeting low cost manufacturing for a broad commercial market.
Medical advancements have progressed rapidly over the past decade and scientific methodologies have been established that
identify specific chemical compounds ("disease biomarkers") as consistently present in the breath or bodily fluids of people
suffering from various medical conditions, such as TB, pneumonia, cancers or diabetes. Low cost Point-of-Care tests that can
recognize these biomarkers in vivo, or in the native breath sample, would allow a new way of diagnosing these diseases
at an early stage and avoid the need for costly (and often lengthy) invasive medical procedures. Breathtec Biomedical, in
partnership with the Yost Group at the University of Florida have been developing a mobile breath testing device that will
provide an economical, accurate, and portable solution. Breathtec aims to start initial trial testing of its portable FAIMS
device late 2016 - early 2017 in partnership with Canadian and US medical practitioners.
"Since the advent of modern breath analysis techniques in the early 1970's, many advancements have been made and our company
is aiming to leverage a new direction that delivers tangible results." Notes Dr. Costanzo, who continues, "Our approach at
Breathtec could shift the paradigm of biomedical diagnostic screening, and this particular conference is very important to our
efforts. I am therefore personally delighted to provide our corporate support to the association as a sponsor of the event. It is
through collaborative events such as this that ideas become tangible solutions."
