FDA APPROVES CYBER-CARE'S GLUCOSE MONITORING SYSTEM.


CYBeR-CARE, Inc. (Nasdaq:CYBR), Atlanta, the telehealth technology innovator, has received clearance from the FDA to market its Blood Glucose Monitoring System (Glucometer). The Glucometer will be integrated with the Electronic HouseCall System family of products and will provide the industry with an economically priced tool with several technological advantages over current industry offerings.

Caregivers can measure results against historical data, from the Glucometer and other monitoring tools available on the Electronic HouseCall System to enable them to deliver better care and more effective disease management treatment.

"We are pleased to be able to announce the FDA approval for our electronic Blood Glucose Monitoring System," said Mike Lemnitzer, vice president of Business Development, CyberCare Technologies.
