LED Medical Inc. Announces VELscope(R) Vx Results from REALITY
Review
BURNABY, BRITISH COLUMBIA--(Marketwired - Mar 5, 2014) - LED
Medical Diagnostics Inc. ("LED Medical" or the "Company")
(TSX-VENTURE:LMD) (OTCQX:LEDIF) (FRANKFURT:LME) is pleased to
announce that the VELscope® Vx Enhanced Oral Assessment System has
received a REALITY'S CHOICES rating of 4.5 stars (out of a possible
5).
REALITY's evaluators were tasked with implementing the VELscope®
Vx system into their practices and evaluating its features,
including clinical utility, ease-of-operation, camera system use,
and marketing materials.
The VELscope® Vx device was very well received by the evaluators
and the following strengths were highlighted:
- Non-invasive;
- Requires no rinses;
- Solid research base ;
- Well received by appreciative patients ;
- Short examination time;
- Convenient cordless design;
- Easy to attach camera system enables clinicians to easily
record images and monitor mucosal lesions.
Clinical Utility
"We are very pleased to receive a standout rating on the REALITY
evaluation," states Dr. David Gane, CEO of LED Medical. "In
addition to acknowledging the VELscope® Vx device as an improvement
over its predecessor on many features, the REALITY evaluators also
were able to detect mucosal lesions invisible to the naked eye and
provide their patients with suitable follow-up."
According to REALITY: "Slightly more than half (57%) of
evaluators found lesions that were not visible without using it,
while the remaining 43% did not find any lesions during the
evaluation period. Of those evaluators who found lesions, half
decided to put them on watch and check them again in several
months, 25% reported that no lesions were found to be malignant,
and 25% found at least one malignant lesion. One evaluator found
three areas of concern and referred to an oral surgeon. One area
that was biopsied was malignant and required extensive
surgery."
"We were pleased to learn that VELscope® Vx technology helped
the evaluators in the discovery of potentially pre-cancerous and
cancerous tissues," states Dr. Gane. "The VELscope® Vx device is an
imaging modality which is extremely sensitive to tissue changes,
and its use in everyday practice can provide timely information to
dentists and hygienists to enable earlier detection of abnormal
tissues and provide better outcomes for patients. "

About VELscope® Vx Enhanced Oral Assessment
The distinctive blue-spectrum light of the VELscope® Vx Enhanced
Oral Assessment System causes the soft tissues of the mouth to
naturally fluoresce. Healthy tissues fluoresce in distinct patterns
that are visibly disrupted by trauma or disease, such as neoplastic
lesions, chemical irritation, side-effects from medication, thermal
damage, fungal, viral or bacterial infections. Use of the VELscope®
Vx adjunctive device allows a wide variety of oral abnormalities to
be discovered, often before they become apparent to the unassisted
eye. It is also the only tissue fluorescence device with
photo/video documentation capabilities through the viewing
mechanism, a key function for referrals and patient records.
Today VELscope® systems are used to conduct more examinations
for oral cancer and other oral diseases than any other adjunctive
device. To date, more than 12,000 VELscope® systems are in use
globally and dental practitioners have performed more than 25
million exams.
