Innovotech Inc. (TSX VENTURE: IOT), a pioneer in the field of biofilm product development, today announced that LevPharm Ltd. of Israel has received regulatory approval allowing the company to commence marketing and distributing Innovotech's bioFILM PA™ test to hospitals possessing Cystic Fibrosis units within Israel. The marketing licence is valid for one year and will be extended subject to clinical outcomes and physician's recommendations (regular Ministry of Health procedure).

"This is the first approval of bioFILM PA™ outside of Canada and represents an acceptance of the need for a diagnostic capable of testing organisms in a biofilm state," said Ken Boutilier, President and CEO of Innovotech Inc. "It provides an opportunity for doctors to treat Israeli patients with effective antibiotics that are tailored to their personal chronic infections. These patients have the potential to recover more quickly, while saving the health care system money, and bacteria will have less chance to develop resistance. Biofilms are the cause of virtually all chronic bacterial infections and are notoriously hard to eradicate. Use of biofilm PA™ will result in better treatment choices right from the start."

The current market capacity in Israel for bioFILM PA™ is estimated to be over 3,000 tests per year.

bioFILM PA™ is the first diagnostic test to assist physicians in the selection of the most effective combination antibiotic treatment of patients with biofilm-based Pseudomonas aeruginosa infections.

Based on Innovotech's proprietary technology, the company is currently developing companion products to bioFILM PA™ to assist physicians in the selection of the most effective antibiotic treatment for infections caused by both gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria. In a biofilm state, these bacteria are responsible for the majority of all chronic bacterial infections.

Pseudomonas aeruginosa is a common bacterium responsible for many hospital acquired infections including ventilator-associated pneumonia and those found in patients with burns and wounds. It is also one of the major causes of lung infections in individuals with Cystic Fibrosis.

Over eighty percent of microbial infections in the body are caused by organisms in a biofilm state. Biofilm infections are known to be up to 1,000 times more resistant to antibiotics than the same organism in a free-floating state, which demonstrates why it is so critical to identify effective treatments early, such as through the bioFILM PA™ test.
