DORAL, Florida, Dec. 13, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Earth Science Tech, Inc. (OTCQB: ETST) (“ETST" or the “Company"), an innovative biotech company focused on the cannabidiol (CBD), nutraceutical and pharmaceutical fields, medical devices, and research and development, today announces successful in vitro analyses of gynecological samples collected using its new Hygee™ medical device.
Hygee™ is a discreet, wearable medical device that enables a woman to anonymously test for sexually transmitted infections (STIs). As previously announced, samples collected by the Hygee™ device are tested by Procréa. In pre-launch testing at the labs, molecular diagnostic assays successfully identified the presence of Chlamydia in test subjects, confirming earlier testing results in a cohort of more than 500 women.
ETST’s President, Director and Chairman Nickolas S. Tabraue states, “We are pleased to announce positive testing in the pre-launch phase of Hygee™, and would like to thank our carefully selected partners, Procréa, for a job well done. They are a part of the guarantee of our success.”
ETST is on track to launch Hygee™ in early 2019. The Company plans to market the product through its established distribution channels, mentioned in November, thanks to Dermagate’s ISO 13485:2013 certification.
“Hygee™ is an incredible innovation, and we have partners from many countries waiting to market the device,” stated ETST CEO and Chief Scientific Officer Dr. Michel Aubé. “This is only the beginning of realizing the potential of this unique device, and we look forward to updating our shareholders on our progress.”
In its first iteration, Hygee™ will be marketed as an at-home test for chlamydia; however, R&D efforts currently underway indicate that Hygee™ will soon be certified for gonorrhea testing as well.
