ChroMedX Works Towards Third Version of Hemopalm Prototype Analyzer

Toronto, Ontario--(Newsfile Corp. - July 31, 2017) - ChroMedX Corp. (the "Company") CHX CHXIF EIY, developer of the HemoPalm Handheld Blood Analyzer System, is pleased to provide an update on the refinement and testing of the Company's HemoPalm System prototype.

The Company completed its first HemoPalm System prototype mid-May in collaboration with rapid-prototyping firm Agile Manufacturing Inc. ChroMedX has continued to refine the design and is now in the process of finalizing a third version that addresses key aspects of the size, durability and ergonomics of the device.

"This is a very involved and fast-paced part of the development process. Our third reiteration includes considerable refinements to the usability of the device. Not only will the size of the device decrease but we will increase durability by optimizing the internal layout of the device's components — a process made much easier by the accessibility of rapid-prototyping," said Ash Kaushal, President & CEO, ChroMedX Corp.

Prototype refinement is overseen by ChroMedX CEO & President Ash Kaushal. Rapid prototyping is managed in collaboration with Agile Manufacturing of Uxbridge, Ontario, Canada and ongoing refinement of components are managed internally and at the Company's Shenzhen based development partner Hochuen Technologies Co.

About ChroMedX Corp.

ChroMedX Corp. is a medical technology company focused on the development of novel medical devices for in vitro diagnostics and point-of-care testing.  The devices are protected by the Company's issued and pending patents, dealing with blood collection, analysis and plasma/serum processing.

The HemoPalm Handheld Blood Analyzer System is the only handheld blood analysis technology which combines Blood Gases & Electrolytes with full CO-oximetry.  Currently this combination is not available on any of the handheld analyzers on the market. Existing technologies require users to purchase a second device to carry out the CO-oximetry. The Company's technology has the advantage of being able to offer a single handheld blood analyzer that provides all the required tests for Blood Gases & Electrolytes, with full CO-oximetry and bilirubin. Another competitive advantage of the HemoPalm system will be its ability to draw capillary blood directly from a pin-prick site into the cartridge, providing an alternative to arterial blood. Drawing arterial blood is painful and can cause nerve damage. CO-oximetry is the measurement of five different hemoglobin species in blood.
